hi guys thanks for sharing. I think U M stands for Unimodel not for sure though. Can you tell me where any the stateside dealers are who carry their 1/35 kits? I'm not a rivet counter so a kit has to be the worst in the universe for me to give up on them and haven't found one yet that has beaten me. They just take much longer to tackle is all. But then again I can't honestly say I have built a lot since getting back into this but the weird kits do help with teaching me how to problem solve.
Pavel, I have been wanting to get a 38t variant ( after I get some other projects done)and I have been eyeballing those 140/1. So far I have found that Dragon, Maquette,and Italerie produce this. I am leaning towards Italerie only for the reason they do make a good kit and the instructions don't give me a headache like DML does. For the price of DML I would expect these to be much easier to build but that is just me:hmmm . I find it interesting that the same kit was mentioned by 2 guys in the same thread, Pavel built it and looks pretty good and recon passed on it. So what should I do? Did the UM 140/1 come with PE or is that some aftermarket detail parts? Thanks, R.
