The Model Box

Vintage tank kits I just scored. The Jagdpanther is in the white box with the track violator released in 1987 while the King Tiger is the in the full color box released in 1986 I think. The Russian T-34/76 1942 model and the T-34/76 1943 model in the full color boxes released in the late 70's.

A series of fast-build tanks that scale better to 15mm rather than the onbox advertised 1:72. The M1 Abrams. Main gun is too short and the tank hull a bit too wide. Turret details are also missing or altogether wrong. More of the models available for less than a dollar each. A T-55, a JSU-152 and a Chinese Type 98 tank. All the models share just one chassis, as well as turret hatches and machineguns. These are more toys then accurate scale models. I'll probable build them though as hardware for my HO army men.

The Korean "4D Tank Model 1:72" Abrams. Two IMPORTANT things to keep in mind: 1. It is NOT 1/72 2. It is NOT scale model accurate. All the models share just one chassis, as well as turret hatches and machineguns 3. More a toy then an accurate scale model The product lineup poster with the World of Tanks ripoff logo. The models I could find. There's another set out there with mostly German WW2 armor.

May your knives be ever so sharp May your liquid glues never run May your airbrushes never clog And may your builds be ever fun! From a fellow scale model maker to you, a happy new year to everyone!
