The Model Box

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.

On my table is a 1:72 ESCI Jagdtiger. It was assembled a few years back but a recent accident at home left it with a broken gun, a missing drive wheel, some deformed parts ( the roadwheels are in terrihble shape mdue to the glue used before) and some missing parts. The Abrams is a 1:90 (Near HO scale) model that's strictly not a scale model kit but rather a 4D Master puzzle kit. Let's what I can do to fix 'em up for display. More soon. posted from Bloggeroid
