I've got 2 of those sets and they aren't too bad in scale height. the dude standing and wearing coveralls is about 5'9" in height. That's a lot better than the 5'2" or 5'4" heights common to most other Tamiya figures i got including that Tamiya specific WW1 set (not the ex ICM ones). Btw...

I just got a couple of Tamiya M4 Sherman kits the M4A3 with 75mm gun and the M4A3 with 105mm howitzer. I got those because they came with figures that WAS going to use to show the scale of the tank but WOW! they're midgets. Plus the two kits of the tanks are the ancient M4A3 with some new parts...

I might have 2 of them I can send you. PM me your addy in time and I can get them into the mail for you tomorrow (Monday March 4) when I go to send some other stuff. Cheers

OUCH! Good luck with that! Makes me rethink Takom's quality of other kits and their fit. Cheers

I've built 4 1/35 scale WW1 British tanks in British markings. Whenever I need to red and white strips (introduced AFTER Germans captured and used some British tanks) I paint them by hand as I find getting them to lay down over all the rivets and ridges nearly impossible. Good luck and cheers

Hi there. I am thinking of adding a couple of SS figures in camo. smocks but with white helmets. Two questions. Do you know when the Germans stopped using helmet decals, around 1943 I believe? Also did the SS have a sleeve eagle on their great coats? In particular the officers? Thanks...

Latest Acquisitions That's exactly what AMT did when I asked them for a replacement canopy as the one in my kit was deformed and not usable = AMT sent an entire XB-7o Valkyrie kit. ANd this was 1/72 scale so was a LARGE package. Good luck Sharkmouth I'll be watching this to see what...

Which kit is that? Cheers

Lots going on on my bench. I'm working on 3 Tamiya 1/35 scale Japanese armour kits; an Early Type 97, a Late Type 97 and a Type 97 chassis based SPG. They are about read for primer. Cheers from Peter

Did the U.S.A. 4th Armored Division use the M4A3 105mm turret Sherman during the Battle of the Bulge? If so, who makes decals for it in 1/35 scale? Thanks and cheers

I guess I'll go with the Italeri M4A3E9 FURY kit as it's a lot less expensive than either of the Tamiya ones and to me it looks the part. It comes with two types of tracks. Thanks and cheers

I want to get a TAMIYA M4A3E8 Easy Eight kit for my buddy. I have a choice of the 35246 WW2 European Theater one or the 35359 Korean War one. He'll want to build a 4th Armored Division WW2 model BUT, #1 the Korean war one here is $6.00 LESS than the WW2 kit and it includes a Gaz 62B kit that I...

Latest Acquisitions The owner retiring? Or is it a case of yet another brick and mortar store not being able to compete with the internet sellers? I like to shop at the local and the not so local hobby shops. However, if I order from them and from the internet the stuff from the internet...

Latest Acquisitions Is that an anti-cat missile device? Or is the cat the Commander? Cheers

They will if they want to pass the model off as their own. I've seen images where the copyrright was covered like that or just cut off. Just thought you'd like to know it was possible and likely. Cheers

Gorgeous work there Mike. Regarding the copyright. I'd put the copyright ON the model itself as where you have most of them it'd be real easy to remove them by adding white over the copyright. Cheers

Latest Acquisitions I'm SO thankful for the internet because now I can read reviews of kits before ordering or buying them. Seems to me that Italeri and Lindberg have inaccuracy in common. You need to be careful with some of the Tamiya kits these days too as some of them are just Italeri kits...

Got my buddy interested a bit in model building. This is his 3rd or 4th build. It's the older Tamiya King Tiger aka Tiger II in 1/35 scale. Cheers

Well there Moonpuppy, I think you've done an excellent job of weathering that tank. It simply looks like it's been on the beach a fair bit longer than t he one in your inspirational image. As far as the lack of demarcation between the paint colours and the rust; I don't think there would be that...

What is it that you're not happy/satisfied with on this model? Cheers
