The 1/16th scale AFV’s range seem to be burgeoning, personally in think they are just to big and if manufacturers are going big,  add more detail. From what I’ve seen, some are just scaled 35th with no or sometimes less detail…….

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 . 😂

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.

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. :construction:

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!
