This is my fifth Austin (fourth by Modelkrak) and I just can't get enough of them.? I used Black Lion Decals for the markings. In retrospect, I wish I had put the decals on the doors instead of the turrets. They look a little small where they are now.? Figure is by TQD and yes, I know the collar is wrong for WW...
The Mk I tank I am building has square tensioner ends and not rounded. I took 1/8 inch Evergreen tubing, drilled the hole to match the tensioner width and sliced it off. I cut the piece in half and placed it on the tensioner after removing the end by scraping it off with a knife. It is not perfect but it is bet...
I was inspired by Plastikk to do my version on the Mk I after seeing his excellent rendition of the Airfix kit. This is just the basic corrections to the kit and I have yet to start the detailing of it. I added .060 plastic to the sides of the cab and lenghtened the front .030. I removed all the detail and will...

Many potential subjects such as transport and armour were photograph...
