My AFV models from way back.

I thought I'd upload these as a reminder of the past times. I took these photos in 2009 when I came to Japan. It was Twenty-five years ago that I made the last of these, which ever that on was. As a result, I barely remember more than the names of many of them. Sometimes, not even that.

A 1/72 leopard I think... Can't remember the maker. Hey, I'm old, what can I say...


A 1/72 Challenger.


I made a few but I never got excited by post WWII tanks. They feel a bit... plain.

I prefer the WWII items. This is an Airfix long barreled Panzer three.



A short-barreled Panzer three. I think this one is the 1/72 Airfix one too. Was it a variation within the same kit?


I think this is the 1/72 Matchbox 'Firefly'.


Fairly sure that this is the Airfix 1/72 Churchill.



I'm fairly sure that this is the Hasegawa 1/72 early Churchill.


I like the Churchill. Did I mention that? Matchbox did one too.


I know virtually nothing about WWI tanks, but I know that this is one.

And this is the same tank coming back.

An SU85 in 1/72 but I don't remember the supplier. SU85s Are Us I presume.


A Hetzer in 1/72 but I don't remember the supplier of this one either. I do remember that it was very small.
    


Just check out the decals. The black and white in the cross are obviously from different timelines. 

Big-barreled T-34in 1/72, I think.



Guess I sat on the aerial.

And now for Tamiya 1/35 scale.
A medical jeep with stretcher team. I think it was Tamiya. I enjoyed the subject. I think I would like to do it again.



I don't think I did a bad job.

Tamiya  Chi Ha. This one I do know.


I had another go recently. Has my style changed?




A German Marder. Tamiya, Italieri? Who knows, not I.


SAS Jeep. Tamiya SAS jeep. Really good value model.





I'll be doing this again when I get the chance.

Next, I'll be looking back at some aircraft.
