Is it just me, or does the 1/35 th rail wagon look to be carrying a 1/72 tank? Interesting subjects though....

I built one of these Tim, the T60 was rather like a Noddy car of tanks, very small , how the two crew members got in it is a miracle, certainly no one of a large stature need apply :smiling3:

Just shows how small it was .:smiling3:

Too many different kinds, if you ask me. If you want, say, a dozen British POL cans you’ll probably need to buy a couple of those sets and have a dozen of each of the other cans left over.

Sorry to (dis)grace this thread with a wingy thing but..... :tongue-out2:

I do try to cover wingy things, but feel free to add your own internet spots - just attribute your source!

On the Rye Fields Models Facebook page
I remember AFV club making a T-34/76 with a clear upper hull & turret - it didn't work very well - ejector pin marks stuck out, and were virtually impossible to remove!

This is a bit of a mystery - this came from the Kitty Hawk Facebook page

Panda Hobby don't appear to have a Facebook page, and neither Kitty Hawk or Panda seem to have a website! They may be lurking under a different name somewhere!

ps the TBMP T-15 is a Terminator, but based on an Armata hull

I hadn't been aware of this, but the ' Solution Box ' from Mig Jimenez - Ammo, caught my eye

Essentially, it's everything needed to complete US WWII ETO tanks ( not just the Sherman ), and everything means just that - brushes, primers, paints, washes, pigments etc.
* solution box* shows you what is involved ( you'll need to put the subtitles on, unless your German is good ).
I was quite impressed by all this - then I looked at the prices £82 for the US ETO, £75 for the late Luftwaffe box. Maybe buying them together in a box gives you a big discount - you'd have to sit down & total it up!
I'm puzzled by what kind of modeller this is aimed at - it must be a beginner, because surely most of us would have brushes, primers etc already to hand? Add in the price of a model, and you're pushing the £100 barrier.........................

The "surprise gift inside" must justify the cost?

Didn't Airfix do this years ago..........

Slightly different turret to other T-60s, I believe

I have a bad feeling that things like this will catch on, and soon turn all models and modelling into clones of each other.

[Dave Ward]

Yup,
start off with the same materials, follow the same 'how to ' guide, and end up with the same finish. It's just as well there isn't a Sherman model in the box, imagine judging a show with dozens of identically prepared & finished M4s!! :smiling3:

A good one for the starter set GB. LOL
The idea is pretty good. Idea for a gift, nothing like getting a gift that you then have so spend a fortune on to make use of.
The price.... Ouch. I have no ideas on the prices of MiG products so if you save on it?
