The Dora gun probably wasn't painted in Dunkelgelb since the gun was deployed in 1942 when the standard paint finish was Panzergrau (a very dark grey). Dunkelgelb wasn't mandated until the early part of 1943. Looking at the film of the rollout of the Dora gun on Google video it seems to be...

Looks like millimeters to me. That would make the ekranoplan about 24 feet long - which is about right given the engine power available. Regards, Charlie

I noticed on the GPM web site that WAK are releasing a 1/25 model of the Panzer II Ausf L Luchs (Lynx) in March. Looks like WAK are positioning themselves for niche armour models when you consider their offerings so far: Autoblinda AB-41 Porsche Tiger Panzer I Ausf F The Panzer I...

GPM has done a model of the T-35 - turns up on e-Bay occaisonally. Correction - not GPM it's Modelcard By the way Porsche didn't design the Tiger tank - Henschel did. The Porsche Tiger hulls were recycled as the Ferdinand SPG. Regards, Charlie

The Su-85 is coming along nicely. I've recently purchased the Answer T-34/76 and I can see from the diagrams exactly how you got into problems with the roadwheels. The supplied diagrams are really quite hopeless - they remind me of the "instructions" that used to be on old Maly Modelarz kits...

Modelik doesn't use Paypal (I don't think it's available in Poland yet) - if you look on their site (www.modelik.pl) you can purchase direct from Modelik and use bank transfer to send the purchase price. From the Modelik web site: "Orders can be placed by email sent to biuro@modelik.pl...

You could always try Scale Paper International if time is important. (http://www.e-papermodels.com/). Joseph seems to get new Polish models into stock pretty quickly. It's also easy to purchase from SPI since Paypal and credit cards are accepted - buying from Poland can be difficult (bank...

Perhaps some designers neglect graphic design but this is changing in the commercial models quite rapidly. I can only speak about AFV models but the most recent offerings by GPM have been graphically superb - Halinski has been good for some years. In part I think it's designers slowly coming to...

Might pay to wait for a review on this one. Modelik (www.modelik.pl) says the difficulty is 4/5 which is the same difficulty as their simplified (some might say inaccurate) Tiger II and Crusader models. The MAZ missile launcher is declared as difficulty 5/5 which I think means it's complex and...

It looks to me as if the Answer design isn't good in this area. The Su-85 and Su-100 used a mantlet which was a roughly spherical section - the cover on the top of the mantlet was hinged - I think the idea was to stop rain running into the gun. (hope my image attach works..) The white stripes...

Looks like the "woodengraver" met a couple of Halinski models. Nice looking models. Regards, Charlie

The grey areas on the drive wheels should be cut out. Here's what the drive wheel looks like on a T-34 (the Su-85 is the same but I couldn't find an image of the drive wheel). I think the holes were intended to insure that mud didn't build up in the drive wheel stopping the guide plates...

Looks like a fairly simple model of the Su-85. I note there's no attempt to model the Christie suspension. The housings on the back of the hull are for the transmission - the T-34 design was rear drive. What you identified as the idler is the drive wheel. The track was driven by the guide...

The pdf might be locked to prevent alterations being made to it. You could try opening it in Ghostview - if it's locked GS will complain about it. Regards, Charlie

That's a hard one..... I guess the easiest way to tackle this is sketch the current trends in Web technology and suggest some concrete things you need to know to build applications. Please note this is my personal view on where Web technology seems to be heading. I seems as if the days of...

Small problem - the image isn't a Panzerjaeger I - it's a Sturmpanzer I. The Sturmpanzer was a device to carry an SiG-33 field gun around - all that was done was remove the fighting compartment of the Pz I put on a shield and park the field gun on top. The Panzerjaeger I used captured Czech...
