Hi everyone. This is a 1:25 scale paper model. It was built from the Polish magazine "Modelik".

​

A few details left to finish up but an enjoyable kit to build and a more obscure topic in some ways.

Normally build ships but found this at a second hand store, still in its plastic for $20!! Couldn’t pass it up. Definitely the biggest plane I have ever built. So far all the parts are in good shape, not much flash at all. Kinda light on some details but gives me a chance to work on some fabrication skills!

Hi, I’m Vbertz—a tank enthusiast and 3D artist with 13 years of experience. Over the past few months, I’ve been working on a collection of highly detailed, 3D-printable models inspired by some of the Soviet Union’s most fascinating experimental armored vehicles.

The lineup includes:

• Object 775

• Object 490A "Buntar"

• Object 490B

• Object 640 "Black Eagle"

• Object 195

And if my Kickstarter campaign hits its final stretch goal:

The legendary Object 477 "Boxer" will be added.

As a fellow modeler, I’m curious...

If you had to spend dozens of hours assembling, painting, weathering, and displaying just ONE of these models at a military modeling competition, which one would you choose and why?

Would you go for the futuristic lines of the Object 195?

The radical dual-hull design of the Object 490A?

The powerful Black Eagle?

Or would you wait for the legendary Object 477 Boxer?

I’d love to hear what stands out most to you as fellow modelers and collectors.

Thanks for your feedback!

Made this over a year ago now

Hi, I'm a 16 year old model builder, this has been the second model I've ever made. I hope you like it! I also made the landscape but that's aside from the point. Feel free to let me know what you guys think!

Hi everyone. This is a 1:25 scale paper model. It was built from the Polish magazine "WAK".

First time doing snow effects

I’ve completed all the work on my old Dragon Firefly VC kit and even built and painted a commander figure for added interest. Overall the build went along pretty well, I even used this kit to make Hessian camo which I think turned out pretty decent. The decals were a bit of a miss, most were very fragile and broke apart, but I got the ones I really cared about on there. I finished with a basic wash and filter made from AKs quick gen skin tone paints followed by some basic dirt and dust weathering, hope you all enjoy! Critiques welcomed!
