Purchased recently AK Interactive Soviet Support Weapons set. I need the SPG-9 RR for my Fallschirmjäger UAZ-469. Unfortunatly AK mad a very simple rendering of the gun, same goes for the DSHK machinegun: Now I have to wait for ICM Ukraine Small Arms set.

After I found Zvezda BMD-1 in my stash, I decided to build a hypothetical NVA 1991 model of NVA Fallschirmjäger in Verzerrungsanstrich.

A parcel from GDR! My Co-worker gave me 2 GDR books and NVA toysoldiers (Plastesoldaten). Their size is about 80mm.

An interesting pic of a SU-100 disguised as Kanonenjagdpanzer.

Some progress on my T-34/85m. The build takes a lot of references and the MR Modellbau conversion is not the best.

Calling it done.




I think they could hardly packed more stuff on it. Started experimenting with tank crew and mounted Mot Schützen.

Modified DML Soviet tank riders with Hornet heads. Still a long way to go.

Nice work Hermann; what paint do you use for your vehicles?

Brian, simple, I use Tamiya XF-67 NATO (sic!) Green. It looks like a good match for TGL 2425.

As a sidenote East Germany used TGL colour system. NVA and KVP vehicle were painted RAL 6006 Grauoliv from the start. They had obviously enough colour leftover from WW2. I didn´t found out when they switched to TGL 2425, which is equivalent to RAL 6003 Olivgrün.

Started test fits of my next build, BTR-50 with interior.

Riich Models kit is excellently detailed, look at the suspension with metal springs.
