Thanks Moni, this kit is fairly simple to build as I understand, but it's a big one! Bigger than a Jagdtiger... yikes! 

 

[monica]

oh nice will real look forward to seeing it on the bench,and then put it up again,the Jagdtiger,as that's a big beast in its self,

Hurricane had better win the poll for the GB  xD


called in Boyes for some CA and some matt varnish and this was on the shelf at a very silly price, so why not i thought

Although this isn't a kit I got this from a model railway show today to use as a corner filler for a diorama idea I have. These were used for a specific type of aircraft support so I'll leave it to you lot to try and figure it out.

Well Monica, the Ferdinand/Elefant had the engine in the mid-section which separated the crew compartments. It was supposed to reduce wear on the transmission, a common failing on German tanks.

Great choice Monica, no worries about the pics, just helping a fellow modeller out! just like you and many others have done for me. 


Love the BTR, big Russian mean looking vehicle. Ive never built one myself, but have seen reviews and pictures of these, so will be really interested to see one done!

Great kit there Patrick once again have never seen one built but have seen pics of completed ones so really interested to see how this one comes along when you build it.

Heres my latest aquisitions, bought these in 2 shipments. Had saved up for 3 months so got it all in 2 bulk shipments with massive savings, especially on that respirator. The foam boards were something that Monica informed me about, great for building diorama buildings and bases.
