M42 Duster


M42 Duster located at Camp Perry Military Vehicle display. A very nice static display of many armored vehicles. There is an M551 Sheridan, M113, M42 Duster, M2 Stuart, M1 Abrams, Nike Missile, and even a UH-1 Huey for the rotor fans.

Toledo M4A3 Sherman

Sitting out front of an Ohio National Guard base in Perrysburg, Ohio. A very nice M4A3 Sherman with dry storage plates. Older tri-color camouflage used by many Reserve and National Guard units from 1960-1980. Sherman is in very nice condition and I have taken some good photos for modeling reference use.

M113 at Ravenna


here's an odd ball M113 sitting in one of the storage barns at the OANG Depot at Ravenna Arsenal. This is NOT a photoshop re-touch this is the actual color. This M113 has a hull number of 33, so it is the 33rd one off the line. No know history as to why this was painted like this, but this is the original color and may have been used as a base security vehicle at a certain place in Nevada that may or may not exists. So if you wanted to paint an M113 turquoise with OD wheels....here's your picture proof.

M75 APC

Here's a nice gem located in Lorain, Ohio. An M75 APC with flamethrower turret. While not produced in large numbers, the M75 blazed the developement trial for the M113 series. This M75 is in good condition, and I have plenty of pictures of this vehicle. So if you wish for a CD of this M75, please drop me a note.

Tiger II update

About 50% done. Paint scheme will be in standard Panzer Grey. Okay...so there were no King Tigers in the field in Panzer Grey. Correct Kato...but there were King Tigers used as traing platforms that WERE in panzer grey.
