I've checked out the ebay prices and found I only saved a few pounds on the average prices these kits go for second hand. Still, I reckon I got a bargain for such a diverse selection - especially as they are effectively brand new kits so I saved a fortune when you compare what I paid to the RRPs.Comment

My sons ordered me a kit each for my Birthday ( 20th September ) and they arrived this morning.
They know I'm an Halo fan, but I didn't know these kits were out, so you can guess I'm well pleased and surprised.Comment

Wow!! The UNSC Pelican looks so cool
Ideal for any different paintwork or markings...

A payday trip into town and a knock at the door from the postman brought me these [ATTACH]288152[/ATTACH]Comment

As I can't afford the airfix 1\24 or the tamiya 1\32 mossie this one will have to do.
And the tank buster just said buy me.[ATTACH]288168[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]288170[/ATTACH]Comment

Nothing wrong with these. I actually think the revell kit is great value for money.
I picked up their 1:32 hunter some time ago (another project waiting on time) and was pleased with it for a large scale model.
Be interested to see you thoughts and build on the mosquito.
Hope it goes well.Comment

My first tank![ATTACH]288311[/ATTACH]Comment

Nice one!!!
Be aware though that this model is from 1975 and doesn't represent the quality Tamiya has today.
I bought the very same Panther as one of my first models when I got back into modelling again and it's very "basic" to be honest, and instructions thereafter.
It still makes a descent Panther considering the age - and price, but you have to be aware that this is an old kit and doesn't look anything like a modern Tamiya kit.
I wish I'd known this before buying it and starting assembly, hence why I'm telling you this now!
Still, a lot of plastic for the cheap price!

Cheers for the warning buddy, did look at a few of the newer kits but obviously this one was quite a bit cheaper so opted for this as if I do mess it up (very likely being my first tank) then I won't be as gutted.Nice one!!!

That was also kind of my thoughts when I bought it, but it still surprised me when I opened it because it looked nothing like the Jagdpanther I'd just built and it disappointed me.
If I'd known then it would've been different.
Now you know anyway and it can still be made to look pretty good with weathering etc, but don't think modern Tamiya kits look like this because they don't!
Like I said before, if you want a really nice kit then buy the Tamiya Nashorn. Probably the best Tamiya kit I've seen so far!
Anyhow, good luck with the build! It's a quick one. Not too many details. The only thing really wonky are the wheel mounts/axles. Also the "rubber band" tracks can't be glued with solvent. It's some sort of old elastic material and you have to use CA glue or similar. Modern "rubber band" tracks can be glued with cement.Comment
