WWII 8ty army British armour

 These are the last two 1/48 models that IlVJ gifted me a couple of years ago.

They are part of my (very slowly) ongoing Bolt Action project to give my Afrika Korp an opponent.

So far I have collected 3 Tamiya 1é48 models and I will, at some point, add a box of plastic Warlord or Perry miniatures infantry.

I wouuld prefer the Perry figures, my Germans are Perry and I think it would be nice to have the Brits in the same style, but we'll see.

Here are a recce unit and a tank to support my still non existent infantry platoon.

German armour for Bolt Action

 This is a model that my brother gifted me for Christmas a couple of years ago, I built and airbrushed it last summer and finally got around to complete it.

I don't yet own a German army, but IlVJ does, so it could be used there, I might even end up putting one together eventually.

WWII Africa Korps/Africa Korps della Seconda guerra mondiale

 This is the almost complete Africa Korps army that IlVJ has been working on in the past year or so.

He plans to add a plane and a couple more vehicles before calling it done, but it seems like he's not going to work on it for a while, so we thought to post what he finished so far.

All infantry is Airfix, Italeri and some metal Foundry, all vehicles are Italer, old Esci, Airfix, Fujimi and Hasegawa.

Questo e' il quasi completo esercito dell'Africa Korps su cui IlVJ ha lavorato nell'ultimo anno circa.

Il progetto dovrebbe essere completato con un altro aereo ed un paio di veicoli, ma pare che IlVJ non riuscira' a finire queste aggiunte per un po', quindi abbiamo pensato di postare quello che c'era di finito.

Tutta la fanteria e' Airfix, Italeri ed in minima parte Foundry, i veicoli sono Italeri, vecchi Esci, Airfix, Fujimi e Hasegawa.

Another WWII Japanese aircraft/Un altro aereo Giapponese della Seconda guerra mondiale

 This week we have another WWII Japanese aircraft IlVJ just finished, after this the japanese air force will take a break, I think he only has one Japanese plane left, but it is still being assembled.

Questa settimana abbiamo un altro aereo giapponese della Seconda guerra mondiale che IlVJ ha appena finito, dopo questo l'aviazione nipponica fara' una pausa, penso che rimanga solo un aereo, ma e' ancora in via di montaggio.
