    Want to buy a tank

    Obviously not a real one!

    Im looking to start building some armour, i have already established a nice little airforce of 1:72 aircraft.

    Any suggestions for a good 1:32 / 1:35 Alied ww2 tank or armoured car for someone new to building armour?

    Im looking to spend less than £30

    The Revell T34 (Model 1943) in 1/35 is a nice, easy one to start with. Mine went together with no fit issues and no need for filler or sanding apart from the sprue attachment points. You'll probably be able to pick one up for £10 - £15 on ebay.

      cant go wrong with anything with Tamiyas name on it

      most things Revell or Italerai are ok

      too much to chose from to pick something to recommend
      Per Ardua

      We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no ones been

        Have to agree with the lads! For a newbie, Tamiya is the best way forward.

        I'd heartily recommend their newly tooled Matilda.

            My 1st tank was a leopard by Tamiya. Went together very well.

              Have to agree, Tamiya kits go together very well, but without a huge parts count.

                Yup, agree with Patrick, the Tamiya Matilda is a beauty, but also have to say the Easy Eight, such an amazing quality kit and a pleasure to build.
