EnsignExpendable Posted September 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 In awe at the size of this lad. Shame that Grigorov doesn't work in 1:35th scale, he has a ton of unique stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Trumpeter do (or are about to do) Kondensator in 1/35: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/1079484-trumpeter-09529-2a3-kondensator-2p-406mm-sph I believe it's priced at about the £100 mark in the UK, so only about 50% more expensive than my 1/72 kit. However you still can't have what I'm hoping to buy next month, Kondensator's older & bigger brother: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/1114115-w-model-wb53-2b1-oka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 What's annoying is how good they could be if they tried (they've done it before) and how good they should be at the price (the Trumpeter and Modelcollect 1/72 T-80s are the same price).

Agreed, current makers could really step things up , but I suspect a lot of their management is still somewhat stuck in the 1960's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeps_Guns_Tanks Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Yeah, I was shocked when I found out a ton of the very expensive Trumpeter 1/32 aircraft kits are inaccurate or hard to build or both. Luckily Tamiya has really stepped up the game in 1/32 planes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnsignExpendable Posted February 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Finally found the tracks to continue working on the M4A2 that @Jeeps_Guns_Tanks sent me 3-4 years ago. Still a work in progress, but this seemed like too cool a shot to miss. Now all I need is an M4A3 and M4A4 and I'll have at least the major basic Shermans covered. Still wish someone made a Ram that wasn't a hilariously expensive resin kit. Also I maybe I can scratch build an M4A6 from an M4A4 and some spares... I should really stop thinking about buying new kits while I have a whole closet of existing ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
