Heller / Airfix 1/72 GMC CCKW 353 & BOFORS 40 mm Gun (by Cem Esen)

 


Hello 

Today I'm sharing Cem's work. He mounted a Bofors Gun on a GMC truck. I think it's very cool...

The GMC truck is an Airfix mold, but Heller boxed it. Airfix usually prefers 1/76 scale, but this kit is a true 1/72, and I think it has a very nice mold. British Bofors 40mm Mk1/2 AA-Gun from Zvezda mini-kit (kit number 6170) 

Cem hasn't taken studio photos of this model yet. The first photos are from the bench. I also took the finished model photos. I think it was about a year ago, and I used the table as a base, using my mobile phone camera. I'm mad at Cem for not taking photos...

Enjoy,

Erhan...

UM Model 1/72 M32 TRV with mine roller T1E1 (by Cem Esen)

 




Hello friends
Today I am sharing a work of art by Cem.

In this kit of UM Model, the compatibility of Sherman body and M32 parts caused problems. Cem solved this problem by using Heller's new molded Sherman body..

Also, the trailer is scratch-built production.

In my opinion, the model is of high quality, I hope you like it too. Congratulations my friend...

Erhan..


The green parts are from the UM Model kit, the gray parts are from the Heller kit. Of course, some scratch-build pieces too.

Heller 1/72 M4A2 Sherman "Division Leclerc" / by Kürşat Kaan Kerimoğlu

 




Hello dear friends,

Today is Kürşat Kaan's page, thank you for the article my friend.

Erhan..  

I finished the M4A2 Sherman “Division Leclerq” kit produced by Heller as it came out of the box without any modification and painted it in Olive Drab color. The kit did not give me any trouble during the construction of the model. 
I used the Olive Drab Color Modulation Set product of AK Interactive company during the painting phase of the model. 
A large number of decals had to be applied on the vehicle. I glued the decals in place with the Micro Sol-Set duo and then applied Tamiya Mark Fit solution on the decals several times in 20 minutes intervals. 
I finished the model by applying a very light weathering. Although I like the color of the model, the residues from the highlighting and washing processes that I applied too much stood out as the mistakes I made in the model.

Happy modelling,

Kürşat..


He had built the model with a Mirage/M3 Lee. That model will also be published later.
