Stug, I am very glad to see I’m not the only person to receive a busted First Legion Hetzer! I received my BB078 camouflage Hetzer today, and have exactly the same issue with the shattered tracks. It is immensely frustrating!! I cannot easily repair mine and have the tracks retain any sort...

I misspoke there, Kollos. I saw the Hetzer listings in the FL site, but didn’t click on the links. They are indeed currently out of stock on the FL website. I’m certain Julie will keep us posted on when they’re back in stock!

Thanks for the kind comments, everyone! Thomas Gunn definitely knocked it out of the park with their Arado E.555 😎

Great pic, Duke, in your usual simple but effective and beautiful style! Glad to see you got the JJD Stug III as well.

Thanks Kollos, glad to hear you enjoy seeing my pics! And sorry to delay your purchase, lol, though the Hetzers are still showing in stock at First Legion. My Hetzer (the camouflage version) should be coming this week. I’ve got a small vignette already planned for it… I didn’t order the winter...

What an awesome model, Marcou! Thomas Gunn nailed that camouflage scheme… It looks very impressive 😎

Awesome work, 99markss! Excellent update to an already great model. I think you are the only other collector that I’ve seen here on Treefrog that also got a FL M113 besides me, lol… Bit again, great work on your M113.

Thanks Ken! The wall and trees are JG Miniatures products (though Sheffield Miniatures makes the same things now as well). They’re very useful diorama accessories 😎

I recently received a long awaited wooden aircraft model from Thomas Gunn: the Arado E.555 Amerikabomber 😎 For a little history, the Arado E.555 was a long range strategic bomber proposed by the German Arado aircraft company during World War II in response to the RLM's Amerikabomber project...

I’ve got to hand it to Thomas Gunn and their workshop for always making such unique aircraft models. I like the ME-509, Vindicator, and can hear the theme song to MASH in my head when looking at those beautiful Bell H-13s 😎

Thanks OzDigger! I’ve got the TGM Brummbar as well, but it’s packed away out in my garage at the moment. Echoing what Hunter Rose said, the War Park Brummbar may be slightly larger, but my first impression is that they’re pretty close… If I can get to my TGM model easily enough, I’ll try to post...

I’ve not seen anyone post pics of War Park’s new Brummbär Assault Gun yet, so here are some of my little display with the vehicle. The model is a good effort and has some nice features like opening hatches and rolling tracks. The painting band weathering are better than on War Park’s Normandy...

Yikes, -6 is definitely cold! It was a balmy 60 degrees out west in central California today… Even ran my car’s AC at one point, LOL! But fantastic diorama with the War Park Pak 43 and crew 😎

Fantastic scene, Mike! The W. Britain 88mm Flak gun is a fantastic model. I’ve got both the first version on the carriage and the late war rebuild variants; the latter being my favorite 😎

Years before I got into the premium 1/30 scale toy soldiers, I collected 1/18 scale 21st Century Toys armor and planes and 1/32 scale FOV armor, but outside a couple of the old FOV diorama sets, displayed those vehicles sitting in rows on a shelf. When I got into seriously collecting 1/30 scale...

That’s a dramatic and well constructed scene, Ken 😎

Awesome display, Mike! Your terrain looks fantastic and blends perfectly with the background image (something I need to try out with my dioramas). I also like your use of the wood display base. I like my frames as they can contain dirt snd other bits, but the bases with the beveled edges always...

I kind of suspected that the winter Hetzer was likely an Eastern Front vehicle as opposed to one from the Ardennes Offensive, if anything because it is completely whitewashed, which didn’t seem as common on vehicles in the Ardennes… I kind of want that whitewashed Hetzer even more now 😉

Awesome pics, Issac! I share Mike’s thoughts about those new Kharkov Russians being fantastic figures! I may need to get a few myself after seeing them in your photos 😉

Very well done, Duke! Those GIs look very resolute in holding their position.
