I am eagerly waiting... I just wish I could find some time to work on models for my own GB!
:(

I've built this one before. Its not the best kit [I've heard the new HB kit is more detailed], but the fun is in the painting. I had a blast painting the tiger fact.

While it is true that the HobbyBoss kit is more detailed (comes with an engine as well), it is of the M-26A1 and not the M-46. This means changing the engine deck, relocating the exhausts from the rear plate to the sides on mud guard mounted silencers so a kit bash would be in order at the minimum.

That is not that bad of an idea. :hmmm

I'm not planning on using any of the kit decals for it. Just plain O'l airbrush and hand painting.
