You do have to admire their ingenuity, but I always wonder how many Mk IV or Panther tanks you could get from one of those!

 

[Dave Jay]

I like it Dave, no matter whether it's a rebox or not, it's a corker. Takes a lots of round shaped dangly things to order one of these, I bet you're popular with the postie!


What's the part count Dave............I could build five and a half cars with the amount of wheels it's got!

truely ancient kit.....came out first in 1962......one of those that when i was a kid it was always in the catalogue but since back as a kid i was only interested in military stuff i never bothered with it


it appeals now cos its something a little different

and i know i keep saying 1/48 is a weird scale for vehicles but i had to buy something about 4 quid to take it over the 30 quid to get free postage, and this was £4.99 lol

I do like that R1 kit Ralph.

 

[Guest]

The Omnibus looks really interesting

 

[monica]

Nice haul,some interesting things in that lot,

 

[takeslousyphotos]

A very nice fella on here (Robert) gave me this. Well at least he wanted to. But I suggested a swap for a 1/35 Panzer kit I had..........This kit is ripe for a custom job. Maybe a Streetfighter or some such.

Got my Morser Karl Gerat, a King Tiger, the airfix jackal and warrior, a Churchill and then went back on airfix and bought two more jackals, the landrover kits and some british soldiers for a huge 1:48 afgan dio.

That`'ll be a major project Dave. I built the Jackal a while back and it is a great kit, goes together well and is a well detailed interpretation of the real one. I worked on the Jackal Project and Airfix have done a good job. The only thing they screwed up on is the tread pattern on the tyres. But there are aftermarket wheels an tyres available for it............ One other thing. With the clarity of hindsight. If I built one again. I would leave the suspension off until toward the end. I lost track of the number of times I busted and repaired it.
