Hi Gang! I am in the process of building the ORLIK BRDM-2 mod 96i wheeled recce vehicle as published in 1:35 scale. The ORLIK catalogue number is 005. The vehicle as printed represents the Polish/Czech 96i variant of the Soviet BRDM 2 in Polish Army (WkP) service. Unlike the Soviet BRDM2...

1:35 scale is 71.4 % of 1:25. (25/35 = 0.714) By all means, print the model in black and white and seal/paint it. It will be fine, and you'll have a rare addition to your armour collection! Jim

Samurai Armour David: The Osprey series "Arms and Armour/ Men at Arms " series have at least two titles dealing with samurai armour. There is a lot of excellent info to be found there. As I recollect,the armour used by the samurai of the early shogunate period was made up of laminations of...

Thanks for these leads! Gang: Thanks for all of the great leads! I work in 1:35 scale on my armour and vehicles. So I tend to reduce 1:25 kits or enlarge smaller-scale kits to that scale and build one-offs. The KRAZ truck is a beauty. I actually like older-model kits that will accommodate...

John: The photos look great: appears to you are off to a good start. I look forward to seeing the finished product. Although I can certainly appreciate the role these "Pibbers" played in the late SEAsian conflict, there is something about them that reminds me of a VERY-heavily-armed bass...

Barry: I have been folllowing your Tarawa build thread with great interest. You are, IMHO, doing a great job. Any shade of "haze grey" ought to do: remember that these ships were constantly being repainted....To match the photo, tho, I'd add a bit of pure chromatic white to your PShop...

Lizzie: That's great!! Jim

Gang: We are not going to see a lot of good, let alone GREAT new models like Kursk, etc unless a) we buy them , b) start building them, and c) get others to do a) and b) along with us. This will then encourage the manufacturers. Promote the hobby!! Jim PS: Airbob: Once again, you have...

Great work, on an extremely interesting subject! Jim

Carl: "C'est la vie," say the old folks. "you know, You never can tell." Gotta finish my 1:72 MCDV (HMCS Kingston) commission for the "HMCS Discovery " mess in Vancouver first. And I still got a Surcouf, a Typhoon and an Ohio in my hip pocket. I have the Kursk on order, though...
