Soviet SMK

May I introduce the SMK by Takom in 1/35 scale.

This kit is an easy build, I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for something...completely different.

It comes with plastic tracks, but I got some KV5 metal tracks by Master Club.

Since the prototype vehicle was used in the Winter War against Finland by the Soviet Union, I decided to paint it in winter camoflauge.

There are only a handful of photos of the actual vehicle in existence, so I took the liberty of abusing her paint job a bit.

German BLF-100

Modelcollect 1/72 scale kit comes with 4 of these one man walkers.

 Each comes with a different weapons configuration, You can use the Flakvierling guns or mix them.

I decided to paint this in the standard gray with general markings of  Panzer division.

The detailing is great already and allows for other enhancements which I will use on the others.

M36 Jackson

This is the AFV Club kit.  The fit went together pretty well. It comes with an aluminum barrel.
The kit is basic and in need of upgrades.

I added stowage mostly from Legend sets and some individual pieces. In this case I pretty much finished up the model before adding the straps and stowage.

 I painted with a gunmetal primer and finished with enamels followed by layers of gloss.

 After decaling, I gloss coated again and finished with oil washes in layers.

 Finally drybrushed and dullcoated.
