[Review] Modelcollect´s T-80UM1 "Bars" - Russia´s Snow Leopard in Braille Scale

You want something modern, that is badass but not an Abrams or a T-90? Export customers have been offered with an alternative for both in the early 2000s in form of the T-80UM1. This isn´t a really popular vehicle, so I was really pleased that we´re now able to build it in 1/72 scale from the kit I´ll review today. Let´s get started! The vehicle: While the T-72 series of tanks were (and still are) a huge sucess on the export-market, the most advanched tank the USSR fielded in larger numbers - the turbine-powered T-80 - wasn´t really used outside Russia. Engineers wanted to chage that in the 90s following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Now they wanted to export their high-tech vehicle and maybe even secure contracts for modernisazions of Russia´s remaining vehicles. Their product - called the T-80UM1 - was based on the then most advanched T-80 models in use, namely the T-80U and T-80UK. Having taken a look at recent conflicts around the world, they added advanched features to make...

[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, ...

[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...
