Great!! I like the first parts of you cockpit entrance section. I want to build something similar on mine, when I start it in sometime....

DuperScale
I build this kit myself. It was a nice build without big problems. I follow. Are you gonna replace the nose and back/apu or you gonna leave it?

Moaske
I do have a resin nose in my stash, but I don't think I'm gonna use it: there's too much butchering of a fine kit involved for too little gain....: as I can't really tell the shape difference anyway?

Alexander Grivonev
Nice, will follow this one. Built the KH Su-34, also detailed the avionics bay a little. Are you going with the egg plant grey scheme?

Moaske
I'm going with the eggplant grey scheme indeed 🙂
And I think I'll do some more cable booms in the main gear wells

Vincent
Very impressive work. I will be following this one!

Guy Rump

Rui S
Thx again Donald... I always try to add some interest to old kit's...

Donald Medley
Well you sure did that!!

Kevin Johnson

John Van Kooten

Rui S
Hi Kevin, Thx for your words and reviving the this album 🙂
@ John Thx for your compliment words 🙂

Marko Paakkanen
Very nice diorama.. lot of details. that's give always realistic appearance.
Good job!

Rui S
Thx a lot for your nice comments, Marko and Michael, much appreciated 👍

Rui S
No oils, no washes, no filters, no pigments (except in panzer II, I think) no aftermarkets, no PE.
Just a badger 200, and lots of humbrol enamel. That was it. Off course the end result shows all that. 🙂

Clifford Keesler
Great job.

Rui S
Thx, Clifford.

Clifford Keesler
You are welcome sir. If it doesn't have wings or rotor blades, I don't have a clue. I just sent all of my armour to Hunter Cummings.

Rui S
HEHEHE I understand, mate.
For me is more, if it as wings it must be on ground with some vehicle around, LOL
is this a lyric??? (((😄)))
P.S. Lucky Hunter...

Neil Patrick
Love this. Reminds me that I:

1. Built these first in the 1970s (badly)
2. Tried correcting and superdetailing them in the 1980s (giving up after countless hours)
3. Bought more accurate, better detailed and much more complicated kits 1990- now (very few finished)

This reminds us that great results can be achieved with simple old kits. Just add skill. It what's in the modellers fingers and head is as much as what in the box that counts.

Brilliant work Rui!

Markus Yliaho
Well done! Nice Desert dio

Rui S
Thank you for your kind comments, mates. Sorry for the late reply.
In this case first I build the pz III, them the halftrack, them I think it was the pz II (built by my sun and painted by me), them I recover the jeep, built in another Century 😄 or vice versa, not sure 🤔 it was a dinamic evolutive Dio, mostly becouse I had the space to add more kits 😉

@Neil, I've to agree with you. Slowly I Will try my best with better and more e expensive kits that I've in my stash. Also looking forward to see what you Will do Next 😎

@Markus, I'm glad you like this enough to comment.

Alan G
Excellent dio and builds Rui. Weathering is perfect

Rui S
Thank you Alan, you are to kind, but I'm glad you like this One too 🙂

Bobisek Bowe
Excellent dio, excellent crew configuration on the Pz.III, 🙂

Rui S
Thank you Bobisek, yah I think they were nicely adapted, mainly the guy in the side hatch. This is an old Dio but thx for reminding me 😉

Clifford Keesler
Well done sir.

Rui S
Thank you Clifford.
Glad you like this one, mate

Daniel Klink
One can really taste the sand between the teeth and feel the Dust everywhere.
Great atmospheri result Mate.. Congrats Rui!!! 👍👍

Rui S
Thank you for your kind comment, Daniel. Really apreciated.
Yap, for me the desert means lot's of dust 😄
This is part of another álbum with more photos of this Dio:

Neil
Wow! Looks fantastic Rui 👍 I think Daniel summed it up well. You can indeed 'taste' the sand!

Rui S
Thank you Mate. I've learn a lot since, but I apreciate your kind words very much 🙂

Stefan Fraundorfer
A very convincingly built scenery Rui. I like it.

Rui S
Thank you Stefan, Nice of you to stop by and comment this old work. I'm glad you like it.

Alex Rodionov
Nice DAC-dio. 👍

Rui S
Thank you Alex, I apreciate your comment.

Kim Branders
Nice dio Rui.

Guillaume Blanchet
Superb!

Guy Rump
Great modelling, excellent dio, congrats 👍

Rui S
Thank you Mates. Very kind of you to comment. Apreciated. (You know how much I like your work too, so even more important to me).
I think I've evolve a lot since this One, but I sure enjoy a lot DAK scenes and in this case all this 4 kits.

Neil Patrick
Also reminds me Rui just how inspiring those early Tamiya boxarts were. 50 years on and they are still amongst my favourites. I don't know who painted them but he had an amazing style combining pinpoint accuracy of vehicles and people with an almost abstract use of colour. Try discerning a 'correct' RAL colour from them...

C Jackson
Great job, fantastic looking dio

Rui S
@ Neil, couldn't agree with you more. Even nowadays, you look to a pile of 1/35 tamiyas and even the sides are almost Impossible to resist.
@ C Jackson, Thank you for your kind comment, I'm glad you like this One. Apreciated.

Neil Patrick
I put together a Pinterest board with my favourite Tamiya box art illustrations Rui, including some rareties. Whilst the recent ones are okay, none beat those 1970s ones in my view.

Neuling
I fully agree with Neil and Rui about the Tamiya box art which really was trend setting. I have collected the box tops.

Rui S
@Neil, Don't know why but the ones I like the most are the ones wth the subjects Over white
@Neuling, Over the years I've done that, as you know. And I've done a photoalbum:

You could do One too?

Mina Ro
I am choking on dust and sand just looking at this, beautiful and very authentic!

Rui S
Hi Mina, Thank you very much for stoping by on this one. It was my 2nd dio (I Think).

when I finished the Pz III, I miscalculated the size of the base and then I added the halftrack, then the Pz II (made with my son), but there was still a lot of space left so, I ended up recovering the jeep (made n years before) to add it.

I'm glad you found it whorthy of your kind words. Apreciatted

gvizbi
Excellent dio Rui. I love how busy it looks. So many details, I could look at it for hours 🙂

Mr James
Very nice desert scene. There's a lot of hours in there. Bravo

David Taylor
Superb.

Rui S
@ gvizbi, thank you for stopping by and comment this oldy. I Know you also like Afrika Korps and your excellent examplar model's. Maybe that's why you like this one 😄
@ Mr James thank you. I'm glad you like it. This is one Dio that was evolving for years. The big initial base always left room for another addition 😉
@ David, thx. You are too kind, mate.

Mina Ro
One piece of advice, your painting of figures is great but one small thing to make them pop would be to buy a sheet of archer eye ball decals, I use them a lot but youll need to use a hole punch to cut them out.

James C
Very cool 👍

Clifford Keesler
Very nice.

Rui S
@ Mina, thank you for your advice, noticed, but this guy's where painted a longe time ago. I think I've made some nice progress in figure painting since them, (I like to believe) but I and others always consider that in this scale and to look from 50cm or more, I don't need to give such emphasis to the eye balls, normally I use only a bit of darker color. I'm sure your suggestion will achieve better results than that white big staring toyish eyes that to often we can see in faces. Also I avoid spend money on aftermarket
@ James and Clifford, thx for your comment apreciated

Randy Kriegel
Very good diorama, vehicles and figures are well done to.

Rui S
Thank you Randy for your nice comment on this oldie. I really enjoyed doing it, as I was adding models while I had space in the base that was intended just for the panzer III the figures and the halftrack. 😄
You can see more photos here:

I don't remember anymore why I ended up making 2 albums at the time 🤔

Landlubber Mike
Amazing diorama! The ground texture looks fantastic, well done!

the price is in Rubles and converts to around 36 bucks. Your going to pay double possibly triple in shipping. Unfortunately as it is a recent manufacturer and the U.S. Currently has a complete ban on ANY Russian made products you may be waiting on this one a few years.
