Description:

After more than 70 years, the Second World War continues to be the most popular subject for scale modelers. German subjects continue to dominate the market and many modelers’ interests. But recently there has been a modest increase in attention to Allied armored fighting vehicles (AFVs) and figures, with U.S. tanks, softskins (jeeps and trucks) and soldiers leading the way.As a modeler, my focus is on the U.S. Army soldiers and vehicles that fought in Europe during WWII and how to recreate them in 1/35 scale. To help promote the modeling of American armor and soldiers of this era, I've created this site to share information and discuss historical features as they pertain to model kits in the market today. This site is designed to assist people new to the hobby or American AFVs, as well as those more experienced modelers who’ve tired of “everything German” and are seeking a taste of olive drab. This is not the definitive word on the subject, of course, and this site will continue to be a work-in-progress. I hope you will find it informative and helpful in your modeling projects.
