discussion Want to buy a tank

[Thorbrand]

Obviously not a real one!

Im looking to start building some armour, i have already established a nice little airforce of 1:72 aircraft.

Any suggestions for a good 1:32 / 1:35 Alied ww2 tank or armoured car for someone new to building armour?

Im looking to spend less than £30

The Revell T34 (Model 1943) in 1/35 is a nice, easy one to start with. Mine went together with no fit issues and no need for filler or sanding apart from the sprue attachment points. You'll probably be able to pick one up for £10 - £15 on ebay.

cant go wrong with anything with Tamiyas name on it

most things Revell or Italerai are ok

too much to chose from to pick something to recommend

Have to agree with the lads! For a newbie, Tamiya is the best way forward.

I'd heartily recommend their newly tooled Matilda.

Alex have a look at tamiyas M10 wolverine it is a fairly easy build and looks good out of the box

My 1st tank was a leopard by Tamiya. Went together very well.

Have to agree, Tamiya kits go together very well, but without a huge parts count.

Yup, agree with Patrick, the Tamiya Matilda is a beauty, but also have to say the Easy Eight, such an amazing quality kit and a pleasure to build.
