Trying to decide between a few, with two being the Das Werk Vomag with the 8.8cm or the Trumpeter Devastator.

Two very different, but awesome candidates!

I have the recently released Airfix ferret kit with four Scorpion Miniature Models update sets.

I just started today, I’m ready to paint the interior.

I’ve already replaced the hatches with the resin replacements. The main drivers hatch won’t be added till later since it will be open.

Hi Everyone,

Very seldom have I purchased a kit that is brand new. However, when ICM introduced their Ki-21, I had to get it! Mainly due to the fear of poor sales equating to them stopping production. Shelled out a bit of cash for this one, and it appears that my fears were unfounded, as the price has now dropped by USD 25. Sigh… While I was at it I also picked up a set of Dead Design masks for the extensive greenhouse canopy. Having built a few ICM kits, I’m optimistic that this one will be a lot of fun!

I’ll try to give this a good honest review!

Till next time, stay safe, wash your hands and have lots of fun!

Nice choice, John! Seems like a good investment with some masks. Very extensive glazing on this one.

Looking forward to her your thoughts on this one :+1:t2::slightly_smiling_face:

25 USD is a steal, i noticed a Revell rebox of the 1/72 version is now for sale here in Europe for 34 Euro.

I can see the finish line…


Next comes the clear coat and some weathering, before the last tiny parts and canopy.
All in all a real fun build :grinning: :raising_hand_man:
