1/35 B17 ....for the man who believes that 'size is everything' ...?

 

.......that'll be a 36 inch wingpsan ....maybe I'm in the wrong place but that's lost on me gents . 😖 Who the heck has room for that ? Even wrestling it around to build it is beyond most peoples bench no ? 

 

I suppose great if you like that sort of thing ,and looking at the Kate if it's anything like that it will be impressive in detail . I suspect this may become another $600 buck stash queen like all those Lancs you don't see built . 

 

Thank heavens it wasn't in "true scale" that would make it 39 inches , you can see now why they whine about this scalism on some other forums , that extra 6 inches......... makes all the difference I'm sure . 😂

Oops double post ...probably wasn't that good first time around

I like the big kits....but don't think I'll go for this one as I have Das Werks normal big half track already. Instead I might buy the Gecko 1/16 Pak 40 and

have my Half track towing it!  I'd like to see more 1/16 artillery stuff.

I have made some 1/35 artillery and the kits were really small. Yes, I agree

Large-scale more detail should be included....but considering, my experiences with most of the 1/16 kits I own the detail is pretty good.

Now for someone to build it that way. It certainly would look cool.

Just to say that I noticed the availability of Friulmodel tracks

on a couple of websites I use; Burbank's, and Sprue Brothers.

I ordered a couple of sets. I guess they're back in business and have

dropped the " Only order from us" policy.

Yes- he sold it to a new owner just before Xmas ( Facebook ?)  ....just after I'd been binge buying tracks just in case ....

Good news though and stockists seem to have them back again ...and he's not banged up the price either . Result , go Gabor ! 

New and old owner below ...I might be a lil bit of a fan of their tracks ....

Holy Cow, what a gorgeous looking A-10 from GWH. I have the HB 1/48 in the stash and was going to be building it this year but now, knowing GWH reputation for detail and accuracy, I'm waiting for their version to hit the shelves.

Oh it's an A 10 ! Those parts look incredible!

[Martinnfb]

Yes indeed, it looks like we are going to be getting a nice A-10 sometime soon. I wish it would be 1/32 , maybe one day.

Saw this on The Modeling News website. Miniart's New M3 Stuart with

interior. Looks like a real gem of a kit!

Its out from Hk Models. It`s hitting the shelves anytime now!

 

[ScottsGT]

Yea, I’ve watched some kit reviews.  I’m stoked about this one.  Just ordered the Zotz decals before they became unobtanium.  
I may be building two twins in a row.  
My Christmas raffle score of a Sprue gift card is ready to be cashed in!

Odd no-ones ever tackled it sadly ....although it's in a bit of odd item and space, for me  -  only US used , missed Nam ...fought in the sandpits ....hmmm...not been a big hit film star...but would make for some gnarly weathering .  Not overly big in 1/32 either.

 

EDIT I take it the Dumpeter was  a B Team effort ?

Speaking of the A-10, it looks like AFV Club has the perfect accessory coming-out for the kit: a detailed GAU-8 cannon
