Revell Kampfpanzer Leopard – Part 3 – Final Pictures
The Leopard 1 is thus completed. You can refer to part 1 and part 2 for some details about the project. Here are the final pictures of the completed build.

Revell Kampfpanzer Leopard – Part 2 – Some Construction Notes
This project didn’t exactly go as planned. Well, it did, but I did not document it as I initially wanted to, so there is a bunch of info on the lower hull and not much for the turret. I do however have extensive comments to formulate on this kit, now that I have built it,…
Revell Kampfpanzer Leopard – Part 1: The Project
Although the Leopard 1 is my favorite AFV of all time, I only ever built one, the old Tamiya kit, when I was something like 12 years old. During all these years, I’ve accumulated a pretty decent amount of references on this vehicle and its many variants, but I never actually got around to building…
GWH Ukrainian Mig-29 Fulcrum-C
I recently bought Great Wall Hobby’s limited edition “Ghost of Kyiv” Fulcrum kit on a hunch. When I got the kit, I was so thrilled about the general shape of the plane I was seeing in the box that I decided to get started right away. After the simple Spitfire summer project, I wanted to…
Tamiya Spitfire Mk. I
As the saying goes, in Québec we have two seasons: Winter and July. So in July (say, June to August), we tend to leave the bench alone and go outside. This is particularly true for those who ride a motorcycle: we only get about five months of nice weather. However, I often try to get…
Joycraft F-16D Viper Toon
Last year, Joycraft launched a new series of products: fully 3D-printed aircraft kits. You may recall a review I posted here a while ago of a book from that company, written by master modelers René Joyal and Jarek Rydzyski. When Joycraft announced its first kit, I jumped on it for a number of reasons. First,…
2K11A/9M8M Krug-A Ganef
My good friend Vladimir Bocanin is a prolific builder. On a good year, he finishes more kits in a month than I build in a year. Lately, he’s been running a massive backlog of unpainted kits. Something like fifty-two. FIFTY-TWO. Let that sink in. He builds mostly weird middle-eastern field-modded armor and technicals as well…
3D MicroCosmos Small Arms 3D Prints
It’s been a while since a did a review per se, but recently I made a substantial order from a small Greek company called 3D MicroCosmos and I received it today. I figured it might be interesting to look at it more closely for the benefit of my modeling colleagues around the globe. 3D MicroCosmos…
Tamiya M3 Stuart
This is Tamiya’s 2018 iteration of the M3 Stuart. A very nice kit, with some PE additions. I made it a ‘semi-fictional’ tank of the 1st Armored Division in North Africa. Tamiya’s kit depicts El Diablo, I chose to portray fictional albeit, dare I say, quite plausible, Hercules. I had some trouble deciding exactly what…
