Finnish Army BTR-50 APC, Trumpeter 1:35

Been building this kit for a while now on and off. Not at all a great kit as it suffers from fit issues and a lot of flash on the parts, one of trumpeters older molds with some upgraded parts to make the BTR range.

If you plan to build it A MUST is to replace the tracks because the are so badly molded they cant even be used.. I replaced them with Friulmodel-tracks and used burnishing fluid to get the correct effect on them. Painted with AKAN finnish modern armor set, dark green and light green. The black is tamiya Nato black. The AKAN paint works great and are a great match for the modern hard edge camouflages that the finnish armored vehicles have.

Weathered with pigments and washes from MIG ammo. The antenna is made out of stretched sprue and towing cables from Eureka.












Jägermeister Porsche 934 Turbo RSR, Tamiya 1:24 Completed

A quick build of tamiyas Jägermeister Porsche 934 Turbo RSR in 1:24 scale.

Built out of the box and painted with Zero Paints Jägermeister Orange, 2K clear and metallic colors from AK and Alclad. Superb fit as always with tamiya but a bit simplified. The downside to the low part count is that a lot needs masking, like black trim and the engine that's molded to the floor.

The only thing that's been added and is not in the kit are seat-belts and fasteners, painted Good Year on the tire walls with a template. A stunning looking livery so will for sure build another Jägermeister livery racing car.
