Latest acquisitions

Just received this 1/35 Flakpanzer from a ebay seller, was quite excited as i was looking forward to building it. After a quick glance in the box and a read up of the instructions i noticed something odd, the whole turret assembly was missing... gutted as it was sold as a new item, sending it back for a refund tomorrow.

Wouldn't mind an odd piece broken/missing but its half the vehicle..oh well.

Ian, ive been looking for a larger scale and cant find anything, if i could i would buy one, 1/8th would interest me a hell of a lot. Darren, i havent seen what you are suggesting can you post some pics and ill have a look mate. Armour is a new feild to me and i like to explore.

I have started painting the tank crew, didnt reakise how long it takes to paint these figures.

Thanks

Well if its a big tank you want Andy you could find one here. http://www.mark-1-tank.co.uk/ Oh my bad their sherman is 1/6 scale. They have a tiger in 1/8 though. Oh they have them in 1/4 scale too....

Sorry but I just had to tell you.

Ive been looking at this site Ian. I would rather buy a kit and assemble it from scratch. I would have to sell a couple of planes to buy one of them.

I would have though that if you could build something as complex in shape as an aircraft, a tank in 1:4 would be a piece of whatsit.... No need to worry about the weight either. Tracks may be an issue though.

Something 1/8th is about the size i need, got to be able to get it through the door of the workshop rather than drive it through the wall, lol

Argh! How did I ever miss those Tet Offensive marines? They'd be perfect for my Huey dio.

[Guest]

Just arrived from Japan on Thursday, looking forward to building this one. Anyway here it is in 1/25 scale! Looking at the molding, it is the usual Tamiya Standard. Certainly looks the part, just have to see if I can source some photo etch for it now!
