The Duke's First Armor in January

Post by Duke Maddog »

After some time, I finished up two more armor models, my first for January. I know it's February now, but I did have these finished a day or so ago.


First up is my Takom 1/72 scale British FV-432 with the Rarden turret on it. The Rarden turret was supplied by Dan Taylor Modelworks in Great Britain:

Next up is my Dragon 1/72 scale US Army M1134 Stryker ATGM:

And that completes my list of models finished in January. Now to find out how many I'll be able to finish in February!


Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome.

Very nice, Mark! An odd shaped turrent for a British armor.

Nice work Mark :shoutout: Two closer to 1,000 :whistle:

Oh I looked it up, the M1134 ATGM Stryker is armed with TOW missiles. Hopefully a more reliable turret than we had in the M901 ITVs.

Well done, Mark! Those are fine additions to the herd.

Thank you guys! I'm so glad to get these done.

TOWs on the Stryker, got it! Thanks for the information Carlos.

Kevin that turret does look a bit odd sitting that high up. I guess they wanted clearance for the vision blocks and such. Still, that is what everything I saw showed so that is what I did.

Thank you Lyle! Now to get more done.

Thank you Robert! I can't wait either. I did start on a major cleaning/reorganization for the workbench/hobby room. It sure feels better now, even though I still have a ways to go.
