Robert Capa exhibition in Budapest!

If You spend some days in Budapest, don't forget to watch the exhibition of Robert Capa's photographs! (www.ludwigmuseum.hu) The World's greatest war photographer born in Budapest, Hungary in October 22, 1913. His original name was Endre Erno Friedmann, later He tryed to find his luck as André Friedmann in France. Before the Second World War He moved to the USA and picked up the Robert Capa name. He made numerous unforgettable pictures from the Spanish Civil War across WWII. to Vietnam. I'm shure everybody know the "Death of a militiaman" or the unsharp but very famous serie of his D-Day shots. He said: "If your pictures are not good enough, it means you were not near enough!" He died at Thai-Binh, Vietnam, May 25, 1954. He thinked about us and made several pics about soft skin wehicles too. Here are few examples, enjoy them!

The new project. Bantam BRC.

I started to build this nice kit. I would't like to use PE parts, just buffing the plastic less thick and cut some detail from aluminium sheet. You can see an archive shot about the orig vehicle. I love the (min.) tree different shapes of the tyres, but (in this moment) I have no idea how I can sratch them.

Convoy.

I saw an US convoy travelled by train in one of the last days. The trucks came from Germany. Look the desert yellow Big Foot and the Mercedes Unimog!

Some Opel Blitz in US hands.

Enjoy the pics and build them!

Diesel Javi's early MB.

Our spanish friend Javi making this nice early MB. The base is an Italeri kit, the conversion is a Show Modelling set. We wish good work for Javi and wait the finish!

Long nose Federals.

Javi sent the pic of the Federal tank truck (on top), which type is very rare and interesting! The tractors are mutch more nice, I think. I'm affraid the plastic model factorys will never make these beasts. :/ Wake up Mr.Tamiya!!!
