About Me

My photo
I'm a UK based modeller, specialising in German and Commonwealth armour. I have worked on a commission basis for enthusiasts all over the world, created masters for one of the big 1/32 resin "ready made" model companies, and have recently helped out on some projects for Archer Fine Transfers and other 1/35 armour accessory companies. I build for myself - when I have time! - concentrating on Stugs, Pz IV's and UK and Commonwealth WW2 stuff. I also post my work on www.track-link.com, www.missing-lynx.com and www.warwheels.net. Please leave comments or questions on the blog or on any of the websites I post on. If you would like to contact me, just click on "view my complete profile" below for my email address. All the best, and thanks for visiting! Dave

T-34 "Beutepanzer" - Kursk

Another favourite theme of mine are beutepanzers. No, not good-looking Panzers, although that is totally a matter of personal taste... *cough* but captured tanks. The Germans made good use of them, from every nation that they fought with. This T-34 was put into action by the 2nd SS Panzer Regiment "Das Reich" at Kursk. 

I think it looks great, with an overspray of dunkelgelb (dark yellow) and oversized balkenkreuz. I added a few bits of Value Gear stowage, which is great, and as the name suggests, excellent value. Many thanks to my friend and fellow modeller Jerry Plettenberg from Amsterdam for sending me some. Thanks Jerry!
