                        I always recommend Kalmbach Publishing's "How to Build Realistic Tanks and Artillery"  Good tips, informative photos.  Easily available at hobby shops.

                        Welcome Sign Kevin. Hope you guys up there in Maine miss this little lady named Irene coming your way.

                        You've certainly come to the right place for building and WW II is very popular. One idea is for you to check out the Group Build Forum and see if something whets the appetite. They are great for learning, building , and meeting new members. I'm currently hosting "Blitzkrieg in the West ( France 1940)". Stop over and check it out. It might actually inspire you to build something French or another early war armor.

                        Oh, a young’n! Welcome Sign

                        The pieces are sealed in the box, but there is a miraculous feeling of the model being there, invisible, illuminated by the crafter’s imagination, and clamoring to become visible.

                        Occasional factual, grammatical, or spelling variations are inherent to this thesis and should not be considered as defects, as they enhance the individuality and character of this document.
