Completely illegal to own here in the Netherlands (well, assembled anyway), unless you’re ≤ 12 years old or so and can claim it to be a toy

Hi guys I have found it on a model swapping Facebook page ! There is a quiet few on ebay as peter said but the price is ridiculous this company LS was bankrupt in 1992 so last time you were able to buy it in stores was 26 years ago! Guess that’s the reason the price went sky high on ebay average price is like 150£ ! I get this for 40£ Was a bargain very much looking forward to it to put it together! I will make a thread when i start! Best regards Danny

There are no Lugers on there at the minute but plenty of other models.

The price is ridiculous as you say Danny.

Hi there guys i had a new arrival today! I have been looking for this kit for ages and finally I found one ! Seems like every time I like something is a relic and its out of production but luckily I managed to put my hands on one ! In my eyes is probably the most iconic ww2 kit ever made ! Im sure you guys recognise the picture! There was 2 company made it I have the warriors version! They were quite similar one version the jaguar one had an extra piece of roof! So the 2 company are jaguar models.. the beginning of a new end... and warriors.. the fall of berlin! Im not sure which company made it first! Anyway im over the moon and feel super lucky to have one! Best regards Danny

A little bit of a story for the picture as the Russian army conquered Berlin the Russian soldiers weren’t allowed to looted anything but they did ! So the soldier holding the leg of the guy who is waving the flag his wrist is visible and were multiple stolen watches was on his hand! So the Russian didn’t want the whole world to see that they are thiefs and the picture was edited to cover this up so it’s only one watch left on his hand! Thanks regards Danny

Look on the section .... taking the photo and see the original one with the watches!

Postie just dropped this off............................[ATTACH]312815[/ATTACH]
I doubt my sanity at times - complaining about small bits! The hull is just over 70mm, and PE for the grilles
[ATTACH]312816[/ATTACH]
Upper hull[ATTACH]312818[/ATTACH]
Mouldings have a bit of flash, but not too bad. I counted around 120 parts
The model has a FULL interior engine, radiator etc etc, and all the hatches can be left open.
The IBG model is boxed in several versions, one with metal barrel, and two resin figures & full link & length tracks, another with all plastic & quick build tracks, small pots of Hataka Polish Army paint, brush and glue. The version I got was all plastic & quick build tracks - no paint, brush or glue! Looking at the quick build tracks - I think I made the right choice.

I have made models of the TKS before ( Mirage, I think ), but nothing as sophisticated as this
Dave

Nice Dave .
The version with those tracks would suit me :smiling:. Like the ability to have the hatches open and show the engine. Where did you find this ?
Thanks John .

and using tray tin foil

produced this .
.
Also arrived a selection of plastic strip.

Never used this make before, so will be interesting to see how it compares to Greenline. Made in the Netherlands and a lot cheaper than Greenline . Going to use for the roof structure .
[ATTACH]313195[/ATTACH]
Yes looks exciting, no not for fire purposes , but for changing to look of ally foil ., mind you It is powerful stuff, and HSE will be followed. :thumb2:


Next some Mircobrushes . now again Iv'e never tried these, but you never know. Says they ere for application of small amounts of paint
If any one has used them please say. [ATTACH]313194[/ATTACH]
This was taken with a macro lens. Below is the real size . [ATTACH]313196[/ATTACH]
