I suppose I should start off with an apology and/or warning to all the
"serious" armour modellers out there. Though I enjoy building
and researching them (armour models that is, not modellers) and I certainly
have no shortage of AFVs in the "pending" pile, they are somewhat
of a secondary interest for me. I mainly build them for a change of pace
from aircraft but I must confess my knowledge of AFVs is rather lacking.
Not like I'm any expert on aircraft either, but I do at least have a lot
more information on them. Why, horror of horrors, sometimes I build armour
models straight out of the box and trustingly paint them just the way the
instructions tell me to! GASP!! Even worse, when I make the inevitable
mistake I just slap a bunch of mud over it! You can't do that with aircraft
and get away with it.
So you'll have to try and ignore things like
the Canadian Churchill
that's the wrong mark, the late model Tiger
with no zimmerit or the BT-5
with atypical exhausts. Sorry about that.
As with aircraft 1/72nd is my favoured scale though I'm certainly not
adverse to any other scale if the mood strikes me.
