Love to see a T34 version with the blade. Going to do the ARV at some point.

Flakpanther w/8.8cm Flak 41
Model no: #09530
1:35th scale


Trumpeter brings us a kit of the paper panzer Flakpanther tank mounted with an 8.8cm Flak 41 anti-aircraft gun. This new variant includes over 1,200 parts, as well as photo-etched parts.



Model Length: 281.1mm Width: 93.8mm

Total of 20 sprues, lower hull and upper hull

The kit consists of over 1200 parts

Multi-slide moulded lower hull

Individual tracks

Photo-etched parts included

Nice looking tank - but 1200 parts for a 1/35 tank kit is just ludicrous!

 

[Dave Ward]

Gern,
at a guess, I'd say that track links & pins will account for over 300 of those parts!

Guys. Can i politely ask that if you are posting an item seen on the net that it is (as far as possible) a pic of the boxart/CAD design etc. Filling the page(s) with endless sprue shots and history lessons isn't really what this thread is for.

Thank you

On the Zvezda Facebook page - boxart for their upcoming 1/72 T-90MS

I have to say, that I don't fancy painting that camo in 1/72

You got a point Alan. I know there are lots of guys who like that information though, so maybe post a link to whatever is available along with the boxart shots? That way, anyone who wants more information can go straight to it without what might be a long search.

Send it to Ron. He loves that digital stuff!

This may interest some - on the Zvezda Facebook page, renders of their upcoming C-130H in 1/72

The only previous 1/72 models were Airfix & Italeri ( reboxed by various others ), dating from at least 30 years ago.......................

SS-25 Sickle ( Topol )

C-RAM on HEMTT
On a wheel borne period. I have a Zvezda Topol in 1/72 in the stash, and that is a serious bit of kit - in 1/35, well that'll be fun in getting all 16 wheels to touch the ground at the same time!

[SimonT]

I have that 1/72 Topol as well Dave - that 1/35 Topol should be really impressive - bet it won't be cheap though

That would be a 75 mm M4A2 with 56° hull but dry ammo stowage, which is not unexpected for a Russian manufacturer. Also notice that the tracks are on the wrong way round in the box art
