  1. Yes, it's pretty nice, although a bit basic. I've been looking a at sturmtigers online. Some have muzzle weights some don't. Same with fenders. One restored ST has a simple flame-cut ring for the weight. Some show parts of the fenders missing. I think the subject allows many possibilities. A 1/16 version would be fun.πŸ˜€ Paul
  2. This came in the mail.. It's a Sturmtiger from Tamiya (35177). Also got a set of zimmerit decals from DEF model. The kit has individual link tracks. I'm going to get started on this right away. The Def Model zimmerit looks promising. Anyway, I hope this is useful for some . However it goes I'll post build pictures.
  3. I have a set for the Tamiya Sturmtiger and I bought a set for Tamiya's Brummbar. I was able to get the Sturmtiger using points on Amazon... Otherwise I would have bought The RFM kit. I'll look at the instructions tomorrow when my Sturmtiger arrives. Apparently, most Sturmtigers had Zimmerit during the war.....not the Museum examples however. I thought it would be worth a tryπŸ˜€ Thanks...
  4. Hey, has anyone used these products ? I saw that the Tamiya sets you have to cut the Zimmerit from the backing while the Def Model product are water-slide decals. I bought the DEF MODEL. Any comments/advice would be helpful. Paul
  5. Saw an "unboxing video" of that kit...looks good and the Hampden is certainly an unusual looking aircraft.
  6. Nice work. Which F4 kit is that?
  7. Well, or buy another kit...start over. I saw the same kit on EBAY for under $30. US. It looks like a nice kit for its age. I considered getting one the other day. After watching the video I mentioned. Then this build appeared. I don't know about British Armor.
  8. A situation so much like the video I watched on You tube about the same kit.....is this a common mistake?πŸ˜€ Everything sounds so familiar.....
  9. Sorry to hear of the mix-up with front armor. Hope you can fix it. Was surprised to see the external drum fuel tanks---I mean, how Soviet ! BTW.......where did you get those blue clamps ? Paul
  10. Very niceπŸ˜€ I have that one in my stash......Inspirational build. Thanks
  11. Really sorry to hear this John. , but I understand when building becomes a chore why continue? Modeling is meant to be fun.... I have a few projects on hold right now....waiting for painting. Circumstances don't allow me to get to my bench for now. In the meantime,---Feeding Squirrels----real Squirrels. I also have been collecting OOP and older Tamiya kits-----ones I missed the first time around. People might not understand or approve of this, but I enjoy doing this as well as building. Hope you may have a change of heart----or start another project. as I enjoy your builds.
  12. Thanks CarlπŸ˜€ Inside the box there's a form for the Tamiya Club of Canada membership.
