UM Model 1/72 M32 TRV with mine roller T1E1 (by Cem Esen)

 

Hello friends

Today I am sharing a work of art by Cem.

In this kit of UM Model, the compatibility of Sherman body and M32 parts caused problems. Cem solved this problem by using Heller's new molded Sherman body..

Also, the trailer is scratch-built production.

In my opinion, the model is of high quality, I hope you like it too. Congratulations my friend...

Erhan..

The green parts are from the UM Model kit, the gray parts are from the Heller kit. Of course, some scratch-build pieces too.

Heller 1/72 M4A2 Sherman "Division Leclerc" / by Kürşat Kaan Kerimoğlu

 

Hello dear friends,

Today is Kürşat Kaan's page, thank you for the article my friend.

Erhan..  

I finished the M4A2 Sherman “Division Leclerq” kit produced by Heller as it came out of the box without any modification and painted it in Olive Drab color. The kit did not give me any trouble during the construction of the model. 

I used the Olive Drab Color Modulation Set product of AK Interactive company during the painting phase of the model. 

A large number of decals had to be applied on the vehicle. I glued the decals in place with the Micro Sol-Set duo and then applied Tamiya Mark Fit solution on the decals several times in 20 minutes intervals. 

I finished the model by applying a very light weathering. Although I like the color of the model, the residues from the highlighting and washing processes that I applied too much stood out as the mistakes I made in the model.

Happy modelling,

Kürşat..

He had built the model with a Mirage/M3 Lee. That model will also be published later.

Revell (ex.Matchbox) 1/72 Sherman M4A1 (by Viktor Gorelov)

 

Hello,

Viktor prefers to build mostly WW'2 era Russian tanks. This time he made a Sherman tank. 

The spills on the stars added reality to the texture of the model. Well done Victor…

Erhan...

Info: This was one of Revell's earliest kits, first released by Matchbox, and then later Monogram, and finally Revell AG. All of the kits are identical, except for the decals.

Airfix 1/76 Sherman Crab Tank (by Kerem Özkır)

Hello dear friends

Mines are an insidious and dangerous weapon. Various devices have been developed to clear mines. One of them is the apparatus used in the Sherman tank. 

The mine flail consists of a number of heavy chains ending in fist-sized steel balls (flails) that are attached to a horizontal, rapidly rotating rotor mounted on two arms in front of the vehicle. The rotor's rotation makes the flails spin wildly and violently pound the ground. The force of a flail strike above a buried mine mimics the weight of a person or vehicle and causes the mine to detonate, but in a safe manner that does little damage to the flails or the vehicle.

Kerem Özkır modeled the Airfix Sherman Crab tank. He used real chains for mine clearance chains.. 

Very nice model, congratulations man.

Erhan..
