Anyone know how these amusing hobby cents stack up against the AFV club offerings?

Beautiful build.

They have their pros and cons when compared to the AFV Club kit.

Accuracy/detail wise AFV is better but Amusing kits are easier to build. It also depends on the version you want to build and the time frame (especially for IDF versions)

I was wondering about this as I’ve never seen the amusing kit.
And working with AFV on their IDF kits I found that they really wanted the extra details that other companies sort of avoided due to costs and ease of build. I spent days taking pictures for them and would often go back to take more at their request just to make them happy
Thank God for digital cameras. Cause I could see sending thousands of pics via negatives like we used to do…

Good to see you online MrGoldman.

We miss you over at the FB page, and the FB prison guys too * :grin:*

You mean Abu Zuckerbergs prison for truth speech. Yeah. And that AI they use that goes back in time a tacks another 30 period on for something you posted 10 years or more ago but it might offend someone today… ( anyone looking at my old post from back then need to be put in a padded cell yet I digress :joy:
I lurk on here now and then.
I’m out of the hobby cause of health issues… no big deal . Nope I’m not crying :joy:
Thing about the amps Israel page is once I left I haven’t heard from anyone except Joel gerwitz and he only checked in to see if I was still alive :joy:

We had a Centurion group build last year, some interesting discussions and comparisons about AFV and Amusing kits, if you have the patience to go through the topic: Centurions: Fist of the Empire

Hope to see you pop up online more often, there is also an IDF group build running now: IDF 75 Campaign

That is an absolute masterclass.

We see a lot of nice kit builds online but it is nice when you see one that is as precise and superbly rendered and judged as this one. Its a real “stop what you are doing and look” sort of build. Great photos too.

Love it.

Thanks Nikos. I only have a couple of the AFV club kits, Shot, and the Aussie variant and was wondering. I have an AH T-72 and Conqueror but haven’t tacked them yet.

Well said Chris I agree. Just a fantastic build and finish. I could look at it forever
