Thanks for the pointer, I will check Eduard out and see what they have, Scott glad you like the Leopard, it certainly is a big model when you open the box. Haven't had much of a chance to investigate thoroughly yet but this one has a 120mm smooth bore gun! As yet have not found any metal barrels for said kit yet unless anyone knows different :cheers:

Hi Andy i've had a look at the challenger and the M60 A1 and they are both large kits as well i measured the challanger hull against my king tiger and it is longer, it shold turn out nice although iam building straight from the box.

Just been into town and chanced a visit to my local model shop....

Just look what I bought. A 1/25 scale early or late version Jagdpanther by Academy.

I've always had a great liking for Academy stuff, my Tiger kits are this make.

I had a look on 'tinternet and it seems this kit gives the Tamiya 1/24 version a good run for it's money......But as I paid under £17.00 for such a big scale kit, I'm not the slightest bit bothered if it doesn't!lol

Cheers,

Ron

My Mrs bought this for me last night of eBay. £8.49 plus £3.00 post. Good deal really. I only happened to mention that I used to love making these as a kid!! Gotta love her!

Just came in from China, via Evilbay,£14.00 + postage, had a look inside the box, very well molded and even a sheet of MRE ration boxes to boot![ATTACH]27165.vB[/ATTACH]

Look forward to building this, a modern theme starting to appear in amongst my stash!

Allyne: nice kit that I have built two and have one in the stash.

Hunty22: Ah ain't she sweet.

Andy: Nice one, there seems to be a swing to the "modern stuff" at the moment, must be all the activity with Mr Gadaffi that has re awoken the interest?

Any chance of a review, if Scott does one of the Tamiya, and you do the Trumpy it would be good to see how they stack up.

Yes Ian

I will be more than happy to give a review. the detailing in the kit from what I can see as far as the slat armour goes is plastic molded. Will give an update on Tanks when i start and photograph the contents. Yes it will be nice to see how it compares to the Tamiya kit as well.

Sounds great. What do you say to an SIG Scott, Andy? I'm Up for it, I only have the current GB and the rest of my Aircraft SIG to do- I quite fancy doing one. What do you say. should I move this to the SIG section...?
