“The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it . Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful.”
Wife wasn’t impressed by my Oscar Wilde quotes regarding their arrival from SprueBrother’s.
The Tamiya KV-2 is pretty impressive like the recent KV-1. Noticed the three piece plastic gun barrel with two halves and was mildly surprised.
However, the RFM Stug IIIG kit made a spectacular impression and appears well worth the $29.99 sale price. Two muzzle brakes, two sets of fenders, three engine decks, two sets of hulls sides and so forth. I’ve read kit can be built as Alkett or Miag and that’s seems pretty reasonable. The kit makes me want to start it immediately! A++ to RFM
Any idea if that Siyur kit comes with the windshield? I’ve been eyeballing that kit for the extra goodies, but I don’t plan on building it as an IDF vehicle.
Do it! Strike while the iron is hot and the mojo is strong. Otherwise, if you are like me and leave it, its going to sit in the stash for the next 3 years
That’ll do nicely thank you! I couldn’t resist this Leo at only 25 quid. This type has a particular resonance in a way as I remember espying them on rail flats at Bremerhaven when my HQ was returning to the UK from exercise in the mid-70s. We – that is my fellow soldiers – were over them like a rash. We were all sort of kit (that is, military equipment not scale models) mad back then and anything different was exciting – or was that just me?
I am aware of this kit’s shortcomings but will set to sometime; most likely to be depicted on exercise and scrimmed up as was the norm. I have a Valkyrie figure earmarked as the Commander; I think I’ll probably model the rest as closed-down. The excellent Tankograd publication “Heeresuebungen 1970er” provides further inspiration though I remember seeing the real thing on exercise often enough.
After watching @rfbaer and @MB6400 doing and researching their Ch1 builds I just couldn’t help myself…
So a quick trip to a local store (not a dedicated model shop, more a old fashioned general store, but they have a toy dept, with a small (prob 200 to 250 kits of all scales and types ) but decent supply of kits. And this was one I knew they had … So…
It won’t be done straight away as I don’t need to research it as it will be a redo of my 42 C/S. The other one I did was a kit I bought years ago that had been started and I just couldn’t be doing with correcting all the issues…
On this one I will be going in deep lol, super detailing and the PE set plus at least 2 of the very nice Ch1 kits from @scorpion MM and @Michael_Shackleton … The order will definitely be coming
One speedy defector arrived… must’ve jumped ship and swam here on his own!
Ordered from eBay in China May 7… Estimated delivery July 1… Arrived May 26. Totally out-ran the Tracking Police!
details and decals in my opinion;In the IDF version, you have the option of making 2 different vehicles
going again!
