Hello everyone,
I have several of these little "anti-tank" guns but this is the only one completed so far. Preiser did a very good job of capturing the likeness and the only difficulty was the camouflage pattern on the gun crew uniform tunics and helmets!

Salut ROR.
Le Pak 40 et les artilleurs sont bien, bravo.
Mais je trouve que les quelques graviers sont ridicules, dommage.
Bonne journée.
Jacques.

Here is a creation borne of desperation. There were no model kits available in 1-87 so I had no choice but to make this V1 Rocket and its transport dolly completely from scratch. My vision for this was to also make a launch ramp and create a diorama depicting the crew preparing the rocket for transfer from dolly to the launch ramp....

Scratch built V1 "Buzz Bomb" and Dolly.

This home made rocket is great. And your project of diorama very interresting.

[bernard 56]

Au MM Park il y un diorama très complet sur un site de V1
I can post the pictures..

[radar-o-reily]

Thanks for commenting Gentlemen and yes, I would love to see any photos of historical interest you might have

Rick

Full scratch ?!? Congratulations Rick

For the Launchpad here 3D files

[radar-o-reily]

A special thanks to Max for the 3D file photos, I can easily use these photos as a working plan to scratch build a launch ramp for my V1.

WOW! that is a fantastic display!!....I can see my self modeling something similar but on a much smaller scale. I would like to keep it down to an A4 sized base if possible.
Thank you very much Bernard for these wonderful photos.

Hello everyone,
I recently discovered this Messerschmitt Bf 109 e in the bottom of a display cabinet I no longer use. I decided to stage it and photograph it for the forum. I realize most of you guys aren't into Aircraft, so for the few that appreciate
"Warbirds", here is one I completed about 25 years ago. Don't look for a kit of the fuel truck pictured in the background, it is a mostly scratch built representation of the Mercedes SdKfz.384 Luftwaffe Fueler that was very common on most airfields early in the war.

[MarcM]

Magnifique, Rick !

[Fred21]

Bien belle ces petites mises en scènes

[Daventry]

Au final, il existe beaucoup d’avions au 1/87, à ma grande surprise.
Depuis presque deux ans, je cherche, j’emmagasine, j’en suis à une petite trentaine. Il va falloir se mettre au montage peinture un jour

Merci pour ce partage Rick

In the end, there are many planes at 1/87, to my great surprise.
For almost two years, I have been searching, storing, and I am in my thirties. We’re going to have to get started on the paint montage one day

Thank you for sharing, Rick

You are most welcome Max.

I am currently working on a B24 J Liberator Bomber in 1/92 scale from Atlantis Model co. It is not very detailed but it gives one a place to start. I have always wanted to build a 1/87 scale B17 but have had no luck in that effort. If you find any WW2 aircraft models in Plastic or Resin, please let me know, as I am always interested in expanding my horizons. If there is anything in particular you are searching for please let me know and I will be on the look out for you on this side of the Atlantic.
