M4A3E8 Easy Eight Sherman, Korean War

I wanted to build a Sherman with such markings for some 7 years, being inspired by a model on the Internet and photos of real vehicles (incl. ones with M1919 on an infantry tripod) Fortunately Tasca released the kit in 2011 and I bought it as soon as possible. However overall quilaity of the kit was good, IMHO Tasca's VVSS Shermies are superior. And the wide tracks... guy who engeneered those tracks should be sentenced to assembly them all his life cause it's a real torture.
I used various PE, turned and scratchbuilt parts to enhance my Easy Eight and many weathering products to obtain the dirty and tired look of the finished model

Chinese M4A4 Sherman

I finished the superb Tasca kit almost a year ago - in 2011. I think that Tasca's VVSS Shermans are the best. I really enjoyed building it !) And the decals were taken from an old DML kit. The markings were typical for 1st Provisional Tank group, that saw action against Japanese forces and later during the Chinese Civil War against the Communist troops

and recently in AFV modeller special Sherman issue:

Staghound Mk. III

The Bronco kit is very good in accuracy and the details fit well. A few aftermarket parts were added, the wheels slightly modified) stowage was taken mostly from the Legends kit.

While painting, I decided to used dark base colors (Agama & Tamiya acrylics) and use oil & pigment rainmarks for contrast. US designed Staghounds saw extensive srervice in foreign armies, including Canadian forces.

I had started the kit in 2008, repainted it once or twice until finished in 2010.

American M3 Lee Medium tank

I had been thinking of building the 3-storey tank for years and finally in 2006 I build one. It was a that day new kit by Academy. It features ~70% the subject's interior and is overall superior than ancient Tamiya kit. However it suffers from several accuracy issues and the parts don't fit perfectly. I used some aftermarket goodies and scratch-build parts for my General Lee. Painting was done using MM & Tamiya acrylics, Agama pigmentsm, oils etc. I think that Lee/Grant model will enchance every modeller's shelf.
