Videoaviation Model 1/72 Coleman MB-4 Tow Tractor (by Metin Sönmez)

 

Hello friends,

Today I'm sharing a model by Metin Sözmez.

It's a resin kit from Videoaviation.com. A Coleman MB-4 tractor.

The Coleman MB-4 Tow Tractor was a common sight on USAF bases during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, and was used as the primary vehicle for towing aircraft around an air base. The videoaviation.com 1/72 scale Coleman MB-4 consists of 31 pieces of resin, a clear fret with eight windows on it, and a photoetch fret with 19 pieces of brass on it.

Metin has made a very nice model out of this kit, congratulations. An impressive vignette...

Dragon 1/72 M1A1 AIM **Ukrainian army** by Gültekin Kılıç

 

Hello friends,

Today we have a contribution from a new guest. Gültekin Kılıç is sharing an Abrams used by the Ukrainian army. 

Welcome to "miniafv" Gültekin...

Erhan...

I used Dragon's new M1A1 kit. It was a very nice and detailed kit. For the ERAs, I used two packs of Royal Model 1/72 ERA sets. I used approximately 260-70 ERA blocks in this model.

Some of the weathering I did disappeared during varnishing, and the visible weathering and details aren't very clear in the photos.

1/72 scale IDF Magach 6B (Revell M60A3 & BlackDog conversion set) by Hakan Karlı

 

Hello friends,

My dear friend Hakan Karlı finally gave in to my pressure. He photographed his completed models. 

Our first model is the IDF Magach 6. For this model, he used the Revell M60A3 kit and the BlackDog resin detailing set (BlackDog 72066 - Magach 6B IDF conversion set).   

A nice base and a perfect vignette created.

Congratulations Hakan! It was worth the wait.

Erhan..

Heller / Airfix 1/72 GMC CCKW 353 & BOFORS 40 mm Gun (by Cem Esen)

 

Hello 

Today I'm sharing Cem's work. He mounted a Bofors Gun on a GMC truck. I think it's very cool...

The GMC truck is an Airfix mold, but Heller boxed it. Airfix usually prefers 1/76 scale, but this kit is a true 1/72, and I think it has a very nice mold. British Bofors 40mm Mk1/2 AA-Gun from Zvezda mini-kit (kit number 6170) 

Cem hasn't taken studio photos of this model yet. The first photos are from the bench. I also took the finished model photos. I think it was about a year ago, and I used the table as a base, using my mobile phone camera. I'm mad at Cem for not taking photos...

Enjoy,

Erhan...
