Well the only one I have is a Tamiya. I really wish I had a different one. It was the third armor model I bought. My first was a Tamiya Panzer IV D, my second was the Dragon Tiger, so you can imagine the shock I got when I opened the box on this Tamiya KV-1 with less than forty pieces! And what is with the Russians, there is no stowage on this thing. None unless you count the towing cables.

Yeah! Russian stowage was often limited to Fuel drums and big logs. Don't worry about your Tamiya model. It will still end up as a nice build. A paint job and weathering can do miracles.

Ok, now that my CF-18 Hornet is finished, I can work on my Sturer Emil. Does any of you knows were I can find some references on that vehicle before I start? Also, it looks pretty busy inside the fihgting compartment, do you have any advice on the painting sequence?

My Emil is completed. It was a fun build yet a quick one. Painted with Tamiya acrylics, weathered with pastel chalk and some washes and drybrushing. Everything fitted like a charm. So enjoy:

You have too much group builds going on espin1. You can call that an orgy! I bet you're married .... you know .... you get into commitment too easily. Big Smile [:D] Laugh [(-D]
