Re: just found this
Hi yer saw it to . Its tempting with full internals but at around £700 Id rather buy a couple of second hand Tamiyas . How acurate will this be ?

Re: just found this
If its anything like there previous models noted around the net its likely to be riddled with poor quality, poor fitting parts and inaccurate despite the series claims to the contrary, its the discreet disclaimers you have to watch out for that generally state "items may vary from those shown".
I suppose its a case of each to there own, though at £700 and 140 weeks waiting time takes some justifying, where you won't know what the overall content is like until all parts have been delivered 2.8yrs down the line, having said that, I'll probably buy mag 1for the sake of 50p over the weekend just for a nosey.

Re: just found this
i got the 1st issue today 86c then went to model shop for paint and what did i see F.O.V TIGER 1 €400 which i think looks better plus you get a tank crew i could buy it €7 a week (same price as mag) for a year, i might get a couple more issues just for parts

Re: just found this
Hi Raven , exactly what I planned , the AA MG mount would be good if its acurate . Not as good a a schumo one one but hey only a £5 . But with these part works they normaly only have the first few issues on the shelf then it has to be ordered .

Re: just found this
Picked up issue 1 today, did you notice the discreer disclaime noted on the enclosed leaflet aside the photo of the completed model ?
"For illustrative purpose only. Items may vary from those shown."
This could allow them a mutlitude of sins and where you might not receive parts as shown, why else say it?

Re: just found this
Hi
The DVD you get with Issue 1 shows you what parts you get and how to put them together, up to issue 8
it is starting off with the turret parts first.
you may get another DVD with issue 8 or 9
