  This is another work of mine this year. Which I have not been able to post before. Due to the lack of free time. This is a very simple yet interesting model. This is an American small "tank". As it is fashionable to say now - technology demonstrator. Was made by the famous inventor of the beginning of the last century by the name of Holt. His firm produces the of the popular tractors of that time. And then she became very famous thanks to them. Seeing the first British tank, he decided to make a parody of it. Such a technology demonstrator. Interestingly, the main weapon of this "tank" was actually the exhaust pipe. The model of this unique vehicle was made by the Den Bels Models I replaced the cannons with chiseled barrels from Master Models (ships in 1/350 scale). I also replaced the headlight and its mount. I also glued thin plastic on the top of the deckhouse and on the bottom. So I was too lazy to putty it. The caterpillars and all the bubbles were also putty...

Закончил очередную модель - танк Холта от Den Bels Models. (Holt one man tank) Смола в масштабе 1/72. Деталей минимум. Заменил фару с держателем и все стволы на подходящие точеные корабельные стволики от Master Model в масштабе 1/350. Т.к. те, что в наборе все одинаковые (что не верно) и гнутые. Восстановил штук 5 круглых креплений (не знаю как это иначе назвать). Они были или не долиты, или с литьевыми дефектами. I finished another resin scale model - Holt tank from Den Bels Models. This is very simple model in 1/72 scale. I replaced the headlamp holder and all barrels for metall ones (used 2 sets of Master Model barrels for ships in 1/350 scale). I restored about 5 round parts (I don't know how to call it otherwise). Because they was were either not topped up or with casting defects. Историческая справка: «Танк» был построен специально для парада в честь прибытия полковника Суинтона на фабрику Холта, где Суинтон встретился с Бенджамином Холтом. Танк Holt One Man Tank был построе...

 Первый американский тяжелый танк, созданный в конце ПМВ совместно с англичанами. Модель от фирмы Cromwell models из смолы в масштабе 1/72. На сегодняшний день совершенно безальтенативна. Из доработок: полностью заменил деффектные гусеничные ленты на копии, снятые с верхних сегментов. По сути в модели заменено 70% гусеничных лент. Также наклеил на нижний бронелист накладку из доширакопластика. Предварительно нанеся на нее линии расшивки (стыка плит) и проклепав их. Заменил на расточенные латунные трубки стволы пулеметов, поручни из проволоки. Изготовил стойку для заднего "спойлера". Окрашен намешанными на глаз красками Tamiya.  ENG Resin model of the first USA heavy tank in 1/76 scale by Cromwell models . It is completely non-alternative model of this tank in 1/76-1/72 scale. In general, I liked the model very much. Fortunately, this problem was solved quite easily here. Since the tracks on this tank are visible only from the outside. So I made copies of the upper tracks and ...

History reference The American heavy highly mobile tactical truck, or HEMTT with 8x8 wheels formula and a payload of 10 tons, has been manufactured by the Oshkosh company since 1982. The truck was very successful. More than 27 thousand cars was released in various versions. These trucks were actively used by the US Army in Iraq and Afghanistan. Also in almost all operations of the US Army. The operating experience in the combat zones forced to take measures to protect the crew from small arms. As a result, many trucks received additional. cabin reservation. During operation, several configurations have been created. Model: Until recently, the model of this truck (in the base, not armored version) in plastic was produced by ACADEMY. The model is not bad. Perhaps its drawbacks include the poor wheels and simplefited parts inside the cabin. Acessories sets: OKB Grigorov made 2 sets of photoetching. One of ...
