Which 1/35 kits to get?

[Guest]

I don't buy many Military kits, but have just bought this as I like the look of it..........

Because it's not a killing machine, just the opposite. It's going together amazingly well, plenty of parts, superb quality, but that's how Tamiya is.

This is so far, about a week's work (being retired I can do a few hours a day) just lights ,mirrors and front winch to go on this one. Then start the trailer, which is joined to this by a PTO shaft so the tractor and trailer rise over mounds independently of each other keeping all 6 wheels on the ground.
I also don't do camo on my road cars normally so used matt finish brush paints and a new acrylic matt white paint pen.
Happy modelling to all.

Not my thing as i love the Jagdpanther, King tiger and Panther tanks. But still a good build Patrick. Still trying to find some kits at prices i can afford. Joys of minimum wage and other more important things to buy lol

Just seen this thread, missed it first time around. I'd highly recommend a Meng kit. They go together well, no flash and well thought out ejector pins whch dont require much (if any clean) up and have very clear instructions. Yes, there are a lot of parts, but I built the King Tiger when I was new to modelling (it was the third kit I built after 2 Tamiya AFV's) and I had no problems with it. In fact, the (much older) Tamiya Chieftain I built before the Tiger was much more of a problem for a newbie because of all the flash that had to be cleaned up.

I'm a big fan of Meng, you get a lot of bang for your bucks.

Thanks guys. I get only one or two fully priced kits per year, most are cut price on ebay auction 'already started' as I am a retiree and have to watch the cash.
