About 15 years ago (give or take a few years), a friend sent me a copy of a fantastic book on Finnish armored vehicles: Suomalaiset Panssarivaunut 1918-1997 (The Finnish Armoured Vehicles) by Esa Muikku and Jukka Purhonen .

What's better for undercoating when using oils, acrylics or enamels? Thanks. Russ Hammond

Does anyone have a good, clear picture/illustration of an ammunition pouch for a German MP-28 Sub-Machine Gun? I've been poking around on Google and have come across several images, but they're all different. I'm cobbling together a late war SS Polizei Officer (1/35) armed with an MP-28 and I...

Hi guys, My name is Russ Hammond and I've been here for a while just reading the posts and checking out everyone's work. I've been a modeler for 40 years (I'm 48), the last seven or eight figures only. I'm into 54's (Medieval, ACW WWI, WWII and Modern) and GW/oddball game stuff. I'm mainly an...
