Graham Ross
Graham Ross' Tamiya Steel Wheel Panther Ausf. G kit (above and below). He added zimmerit to the kit using
SIG Epoxy-Lite. Very nice!
Ed Kubiak
Ed is doing a major conversion/scractchbuild of the DML Panzer IIIJ, turning it into a Bergepanzer III. It's looking
great, and Ed has made remarkable progress on an impressive beast. Check out the scratchbuilt towing anchor below!
The finished model can be seen on Ed's gallery page.
John Lavallee
John Lavallee chose to tackle Tamiya's "vintage" SdKfz 7 half-track. Aside from Eduard photoetched and Model Kasten
running gear, John has added tissue paper over a thinned plastic canvas tilt to dress up this rather dated kit.
The primer is on it now, and John hopes to have the kit done by May. Great work, John!
Don Van Duzen
Don, AKA "Mr. T-55", plunged into the new Tamiya kit with a vengeance. Not content to leave well enough alone,
he is building this one up as one of the early upgrade versions (1975) of a basic T-55. He has scratchbuilt a new loader's hatch and added T-72-style tracks from a Kirin T-72 kit (note the modified drive
sprockets, with the Kirin tooth ring added to the Tamiya kit sprocket). In the shot below you can see some of the additions
Don has made to this fine kit, including fuel lines made from solder.
Tim Wilson
Tim chose the ESCI 1/72 scale F-15A Eagle for his build. He chose the colourful markings of the Hawaii Air National
Guard as his subject, and added the old Model Technologies canopy detail set, MV lenses for the landing lights, and a
Hasegawa ejection seat to the cockpit. Another view of this model can be seen on Tim's Gallery page.
