Enough pics? ;D
1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!
... Now followed by a Panther G, 'Gunther'!

Lol, yeah, I think that's fine. Thank you very much.

Its a pretty interesting kit... They sell a turret ring made with aerospacial steel technology, but they dont have a photo to put on the box, no mention of 3D printed parts (at least thats new for me) and some missing pieces too, like most of the times with hooben and asiatam.

Anyway it does not look bad at all, and even the tracks looks cool for me.

Yeah I've seen it on belcebook... Its hard to do business with Asiatam.

About Hooben, well, I know a bunch of people that bought the T55 but they did not receive the rotation unit, barrel elevation and some mechanic parts like that, and Hobben did not replace the missing parts...

It was like that with the earlier T55 kits, but it seems they improved with the re-release.

Yup metal!

Btw, got the upper deck in today! :-)
