Brrrrrr.... ! More Winter Repaints

A few more vehicles just finished, all repaints of old stuff.



Revell Tiger & Pz IV



I built these two kits about 7 years back ? Could even be longer, I can't remember exactly when. What I do remember is that individual link tracks are a real chore



Matchbox StuG IV



Another blast from the past, built around 2002. I remember substituting the 75mm gun for one taken out of the Airfix Pak/Blitz combo because the one that came with the Matchbox kit was infamously far too big.



Revell also marketed a copy of this Matchbox kit for some time, but I think that it was eventually withdrawn in favour of a more detailed version.



Hasegawa 1-72 scale Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind



My mate Iván gave me this one, already built and painted and, like the halftracks in the previous post, it had been sitting in a box ever since. Some mud and a whitewash and it's now added to the legion of German armour destined for the Ardennes.

I added a "gunner" from the Italeri PaK-40 set.



Revell + Altaya King Tigers



The King Tiger on the right is a repainted die-cast Altaya tank, and the other on the left is Revell (well, I'm pretty sure anyway) and was another kit from the box of stuff that Iván gave me.
