Good morning. * throws the 'no new armor for a while' resolution out of the window* Between the new Takom 1/16 IJM tankettes and now this, a man hasn't a fighting chance around here.
regards,

Maybe something to keep the T-34 company.

That is quite an impressive piece. I guess the "staring in the mirror promising no more tanks" in the new year over and over again has been an entire failure.

Nice to see more pieces come to the table for us to enjoy.
Tanks alot.... :wave:

Is that yours? I love the hatch latch system with the lift struts. Reminds me of the Tamiya jagdpanzer iv.

It's a good choice for a model and it looks the part, but I don't like this trend we've seen in Taigen's latest releases where they're just recasting their plastic lower hulls in pot metal. There's no real room for modification and the suspension setup is no good; they're just using round springs instead of torsion bars. It's just a shame since their aluminium/plastic/white metal T-34 lower is a work of art.

Still, my SU-152 is going to need an ISU-152 big brother isn't it?
