Perfect for these three Damen…

I note the symbol between Das and Werk is different between this release and the 7.5cm pak. Does it indicate a different design team?

Oh guys, you’re killing me. This will be well north of EUR300 probably. And I don’t have room for it. And my Mrs is going to go mad. And it’ll take forever to do. And I’ve done loads of Leopards lately.

But yes, I’ll be buying one.

Thats a really good price considering what a StuG or Tiger will run you at that scale.

Very cool!

I’ll have to keep to the house cat sized 1/35 Leopards

That looks great! And the price is okay in my opinion.
Can anyone say something about the kit’s accuracy? At least judging from the available photos/ renders?

Not sure how helpful this is but the kit looks accurate as per the Tamiya one I just built, but the main inaccuracy on the Tamiya which is the number of bars on the exhaust grating looks to be correct as per this bigger one. I cannot see any other glaring errors.

Just FYI - this is 69cm long, 24cm wide, 19cm tall.

Thats 27 inches long, 9 and a half inches wide, 7 and a half inches tall. This thing is going to be enormous.

Nah… We’d like to stick to the “static” models.
Is it just me or that Tamiya Leo 2A7V looks like a simple increase in size of its 1/35 kit w/out any added details or improvements in a bigger drawing board? Still carrying the “fin” error on the side vent.

Looks like another lazy effort like they did with the Abrams RC kit in 1/16. I also bet the price tag will be crazy high bc it’s an “RC”.

I like the idea of an RC Model but the Tamiya one really looks like a 1/35 kit. Not correcting the known error is also a big no-go for me. Every kit above 150€ should be free of such errors, let alone the price tag Tamiya has.

Puhaha! However, that’s what 42% of women in the US look like though. We’re so used to it.

You’re so lucky. Just gotta love American diet. :smiley:
But I’m all about fat shaming.

Too many 18-24 olds in the US are too obese to pass the physical to join the military today. Sad…
