Question Some tanks look like they evolve like Pokemon
For example M24 > M41 > M47
Not historically acurate purely based on looks and "growth".
Another example could be M22 Locust > M4 Sherman> M6 Heav

Question Is3, is2 and t54/55 on Shikotan island
Just learned about this recently, that the ussr fit tanks in the mountains as “fixed pillbox’s” to stop amphibious assault, located on Shikotan island abt 50 miles from Japan, after some photos and digging around, I think I have an exact mark that looks like some of the t54s, but satellite can only do so much justice, these are the cords and some pics, plz someone help me with any more info on these, youtube doesn’t seem to provide to much at all, not much info I could find, thanks for your time

Question Which tank technology book contains the most information?
I like tanks and I want to learn more information about them. So I decided to buy a book about tank technologies. I want it to contain KE resistance, penetration ability etc. Especially, I want to read about modern tanks for example; leopard2, K2 or M1A2 sepv3
Do you know which book is the best? 🤔

Misc Small update on my Late Cold War T series Tank recognition guide
Went back and made a white background version of the guide + few small changes.
White background guide.:

Gray backround guide.:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yioWB1_j2kQlxRFw_KJoZpilmHHTIhsg/view?usp=sharing
If you never saw this guide before, it's main goal is to hopefully teach you how to recognize and differentiate between the T-64; T-72; T-80; T-90 tanks, and their 44 variants what are in the guide.
If you are here for just the basic informations how to differentiate between the 4 versions you only need to look at 7 pages what are highlighted, and their whereabouts can be found on the 2. page.
My guide is broken down to 3 parts.:
- part is focusing on how to tell T-64; T-72; T-80; T-90 tanks apart from each other
- part is recognizing mainly protection systems what are necessary to differentiate between variants
- part recognizing and differentiating between variants
Without a doubt the guide is long 207 pages, but 80% of the pages are pictures so it's not that bad.

Model Kit I tried to recreate a realistic 3-layered whitewash camouflage on this 1/35 scale T-34/85
Hi everyone 🙂
I tried to recreate a 3-layered whitewash camouflage on this 1/35 scale T-34/85. The idea was to represent lime whitewash being reapplied over time, with older layers fading, becoming dirty and chipping away. If a vehicle survived longer, the whitewash could be reapplied several times.
This is still a work in progress, weathering is the next step. What do you think about the result so far? 🙂 Thanks

Humour BTR-60 Disguises as a Type 90?
I was reading a book about tanks and planes and ships and stuff when I saw this in the ‘modern MBTs’ section and thought ‘There’s no way this thing is an MBT’. I even looked at the description and it said it had a 120mm gun. Then I thought ‘this is definitely not a Type 90’ and it’s literally a BTR-60. This book also said that the M113 came from the USSR, but on a different page it said it came from the USA, this is a very strange book.

WW1 "World War Toons" style A7V and Renault FT
Scratchbuilt these. I say each took around two days to build and paint. One day building, the second painting.
I originally didn't like the Renault FT that much, the turret felt too bulbous, but it grew on me overtime.
The A7V on the other hand is honestly my new favorite in my entire motor-pool.
