RCEME and Service Battalions hard at work

This is just some of the kits I have to work on to bring up to strength.
It took me roughly 3 years to get most of the broken kits back together for action on the tabletop. There are more units which will be put back together during the summer of 2020.

Bundeswehr Fallschirmajer 1990

My German Airborne Division is made up of 3 boxes of Revell Fallschirmajer which I bought in Japan about 2002.



I have enough figures to form the entire division. I have painted up and based most of the figures to field the units below.

Fallschirmajer Battalion 261

Airborne Support Battalion 262 This will be modeled by 2 Wiesel 1x20mm gun 1xTOW

Fallschirmjager Battalion 263

Fallschirmajager Battalion 313

Fallschirmjager Battalion 373

Airborne Support Battalion 272: This will be modeled by 3 Wolf Jeeps 2xMG3 1XTOW

Warrior IFV building

I'm beginning to build a Warrior IFV for the Queen's Own Highlanders

This has been a very long work in progress. I bought the kit in Japan in 2003. It was kept in storage from 2003-2015. I only began working on it in 2016!

And still I haven't finished it!

Today I might get
some work done on it.




This has since been painted up to represent the Highlanders (Seaforth, Gordon and Cameron's)
With the TY v2 coming out in late 2019, I will be able to flush out the battle group
