CDW Posted October 8, 2021 #1 Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) I saw this kit at my local Hobby Town and knew for sure I wanted one, but thought maybe I should shop online for a review and a better price as the LHS was asking $105.99 for their copy. after finding a review and liking it, lucked out to find the kit on sale at Spruebrothers, much more to my liking. I ended up ordering a photo etch update for the turret armor with a 3D printed muzzle brake, and a full set of crew figures as well.

popeye the sailor Posted October 14, 2021 #25 Posted October 14, 2021 that's quite a model your embarking on yea........with all that detail, your going to need to do something for display. best yet is to leave the top removable. ....a very sweet looking model indeed! keep it up, and you'll make me want to do another tank ........haven't done one in years!

Gun lifts and Turret lifts are always nice, you don't see too many of them and the images are mostly Panther turrets with a few Tiger's thrown in.... Engine lifts are good as well but they generally didn't use a Strabo for an engine lift.... There was one shot I saw a decade or so ago where a strabo was lifting the whole front end of a Pz.

I wish I had captured it.... It was easily repairable in the field with common hand tools.... I can't conceive why they would be lifting one end of it... mtaylor, Baker, Jack12477 and 3 others 6 Quote Current Build: F-86F-30 Sabre by Egilman - Kinetic - 1/32nd scale In the Garage: East Bound & Down, Building a Smokey & the Bandit Kenworth Rig in 1/25th scale Completed: M8A1 HST 1930 Packard Boattail Speedster M1A1 75mm Pack Howitzer F-4J Phantom II Bell H-13's P-51B/C Temporary Suspension: USS Gwin DD-433 F-104C Starfighter "Blue Jay Four" 1/32nd Scale Terminated Build: F-104C Starfighter ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote: "Relish Today, Ketchup Tomorrow"
