Just built one and it was a fun build. Yes, I just got an email from SB saying so. I've really grown a liking for the Brothers. They're a great source for models and supplies. The big T 34 I just got was from them. I was able to get $16 off the price because of the rewards point thing they have. Every little bit helps. And because of my location shipping is fast. That cobra you posted looked like an excellent kit and your build was exceptional. Something to think about. Thanks; Paul the Belugawhaleman. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if you mean a lot of money for the scale, but in the hands of a talented modeler the results of a smaller scale build can be priceless. I recently looked at the new Tamiya f-14 release by Tamiya.......$103.00 for a 1/48 scale kit ? jeeez! I would love to build it...but. The 1/16 Trumpy T 34 seems like a better value given its size and parts count but admittedly, the mold quality is nowhere near Tamiya quality although pretty nice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Every Friday Sprue Brothers has their Weekend Specials and if you are not on their mailing list, the weekend special is on their website page. I also enjoy working in other scales and try to take advantage of their sales. Keep ‘em comin Peter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
