The Tankbuster GB / Re: Ukrainian Drone Deployment System
« Last post by Buzzbomb on November 25, 2025, 05:15:04 AM »Sounds like a good project! If there's anything below that you might want/need and you have access to a resin printer, I can send you the .stl files. The first three rows are parts for a drone launcher box:
Thanks Frank keep that in mind.
I am thinking though that it will be more about containers in modular racking or something like that.
Sat down at the bench to start work, but of course the first thing that had to be done was rejig the Spraybooth ventilation.. how does that happen, it was quite fine, but went from wall mount to routing down through the bench with the extraction fan in the cupboard which in turn gets it out of the way more. The only immovable bit was the hole through the wall to the outside.
Perhaps my head decided more bench space for half started projects was a better idea
Then I removed stuff from the Bereg and planning has started to fill the empty spot with the Drone Modules, which may yet include the turret being totally revamped for purpose.
That leaves me with a big gun.. for another project. To fill an empty spot on the newly found bench space. See how it all works

Land / Carro Armato M13/40 (Regio Esercito)- Tamiya 1:35
« Last post by Rod The Fixer on November 25, 2025, 03:08:09 AM »Hello everyone,
I have started assembling this Tamiya kit:

to depict a tank from the 133ª Divisione corazzata "Littorio"
source:https://www.worldwarphotos.info
The 133rd Littorio armoured Divisions took part in the Battle of Mersa Matruh and was destroyed during the Second Battle of El Alamein (23 October – 11 November 1942).
The remnants merged into the Ariete Tactical Group, which continued fighting in Libya and Tunisia into April 1943.
A quick look inside the box:

« Last post by Acree on November 25, 2025, 02:54:10 AM »Progress has been happening, but life has been busy. I had the PSR around the new canopy installation 97% done when I sanded through the polysterene plating over the right cockpit. I kept looking with my failing eyes and asking, "What is that black spot?" It wasn't a black spot, it was a hole! The hole (actually there were two) has been filled, and more sanding to follow when the putty is dry. Meanwhile, I've got to relearn how to post pics. The last ones were posted as HEIC files and were too large to be displayed. Any hints?

« Last post by apophenia on November 24, 2025, 05:38:59 AM »Very similar to my 17pdr SPAT, I guess...
Very similar indeed! I even considered using that wavy-line demarcation on the 17pdr! That would've been spooky
Mig Eater: Spot on about 'recycling' the available M3 hulls. The turreted Sherman Firefly would've probably been a better option ... but I wanted that Yeramba flavour

« Last post by Dr. YoKai on November 24, 2025, 12:55:48 AM »What about putting the 17 pdr on a Sentinel chassis?
I got the impression he wants to make an up-cycled casemate design, the Australians managed to fit a 17pdr into the Sentinel turret tho, so a casemate version wouldn't be needed.
Might not be needed, but you could argue the same of the Sturmgeschütz series on the Mk III & IV chassis. Given that there wasn't a whole lot of tank busting to be done in the Pacific theater, the twin twenty-five pounder test rig that was used to test the recoil stresses on the turret in anticipation of mounting the 17 pdr might have been a better option.
