[Review] Revell Cromwell Mk.IV

Hello my friends it´s Christmas time! Which means.. weather isn´t the best here so I had some time for further modelling. Today´s topic is another review, this time of Revell´s 1/72 Cruiser Tank A27M Cromwell Mk.IV... What a designation... but anyways - onto the review. The kit comes in not too pricy at about 15€ as it is the typical fashion for Revells smaller AFV kits. Let´s hope the detail and fitting also goes along those lines. The vehicle: The Cruiser Tank A27M or the Cromwell as it is widely known was a mass produced British medium tank in WW2. It was based on the American Christie-Suspension the UK aquired in the 30s for their new generation of cruiser tanks. These vehicles, namely the A15, the Covenanter, the Crusader and the Cromwell were fast and had mediocore armour plating at best. While the earlier models quickly proved themselfes to be a little out-dated, the A27 was to be a tank up to meet the requrements of the mid to late WW2 battlefields. The first incarnation, ...

[History] Object 260 - The IS-7 heavy tank

Welcome to another first-time for my on this blog. Todays subject is talking about one of our modelling subjects with an interesting story - the IS-7. Wether you´re familiar with this Russian tank or you´re asking "Waht the heck is an IS-7?", this should be quiet an interesting read. I´ll generally try to cover a subject as well history- and performance-wise as well as in modelling terms. The resulting articles will likely not be able to keep up with expert literature, but should give you a nice overview of our modelling subjects, in this case the IS-7. Let´s begin! Object 260 - the IS-7 The final form of the IS-7, photo taken in 1948. Source: Wikimedia History: Sometimes going big is the only way to prevent going down - this definetly was the case for the Soviet Army´s heavy tanks when they faced German powerful anti-tank guns in the closing years of the war. Building heavy tanks for breaktrough role in response was a logical step concerning those challenge...

[Review] Italeri Autoblinda AB 41

Got some new Itaeri stuff in a lokal hobby store a while ago... let´s take a look at one of the kits - the Autoblinda AB41. I got it for about 15€ as 1/72 scale luckily isn´t the most expensive ever scale to build in. The vehicle: So, what is an Autoblinda AB41? Wile Italy wasn´t the the most prominent tank building nation in WW2, it had sucess in the early North African campaigns . There they used indigenous armored vehicles like the newly built Autoblinda AB41 mainly for patrol duties. Although the particular vehicle was really complicated and even needed a rear-driver, it proved quite useful in the desert enviroment and later in the Balkans and on the Eastern Front. It had up to 17mm of armor and mounted the turret of the L6/40 light tank with the same Breda 20mm Autocannon. Its 120HP engine propelled the 7.5ton vehicle up to about 70kph. The kit: As Italeri is an Italian company, they released a bunch of interesting Italian vehicles in 1/72. The particular kit was first relea...
