Aren’t there by now more kits of Panthers than there were real Panthers produced in the first place?

[AlanG]

Who cares. It's a Panther. Only to be bettered by a Fw190

[Dave Ward]

The current crop of Takom Panthers all run to £60+, so I can't see this one being cheaper - rather a lot for what after all is a medium tank, against my principles to pay so much!

Must clean me specs, being a very, very soon to be retired truck tech, always like wreckers!

Hi guys going off course a bit but I do find the price bit quite interesting, 60 + would probably buy me enough 1/72 stuff to last best part of a year, although some of the more recent kits are approaching the lower end 1/35 prices ,have just spent twenty two pounds on a second hand 1 /35 blimey thought I'd lost the use of my legs still i suppose at the end of the day its down to the individuals finance's.

Resin heads? is that new for MiniArt?

It’s a set that was already released as 35280, but is now discontinued, says Miniart’s web site. I guess they decided to update it with resin heads.

If the heads are as good as Hornet, and I don't think they will be, the only good point is you probably won't have to drill out the body to fit the heads .

On the MiniArt Facebook page - the resin heads!

The end of the month & HobbyBoss & Trumpeter websites updated with November releases................
HobbyBoss Bearcat in 1/72


HobbyBoss Jackal 1 in 1/35


HobbyBoss T-60 in 1/35


Trumpeter Scharnhorst 1n 1/200

Trumpeter Objekt 450 in 1/35

I would think that the Jackal would raise the most interest................

Their other plus point will be that they don’t look like Hornet heads. I like Hornet heads, but they’re clearly Hornet heads — getting some by different sculptors so you have more variation stops everyone in your dioramas looking like they’re related.

I’m still not sure whether Hornet heads all look English, BTW, but they probably do.
