Martinnfb Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I have been texting with Carl for over an hour now, realizing that this Tamiya's finest is just a basic outline of nowadays armour standards, need to get Academy Jackson, Achilles or M10 in order to get new wheels and metal barrel..... for starters 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is really maddening is that I had the darn thing in the cart ready to push the button and hesitated. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Field have just released an Easy 8 that looks good... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Well , now I know and this arrived today An absolute must for your Fulcrum. Why not Eduard, because Eduard simply altered it’s old set intended for the Revell kit to fit the new Trumpeter offering. Cold War Studio's on the other hand tailored this set with effectiveness in mind. All the essentials and missing details are covered. Thank you Stenka! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Thanks Carl again for your advice, you are the SherMan expert. Now I am thinking about getting Academy M4A3 and use the hull in conjunction with the Tamiya's 105mm turret LOL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I reckon it’s Martin’s age, it makes him say stuff like that....... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[CAT]CplSlade Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I actually agree with him in a way. I only buy Tamiya if it is a kit noone else has made, like their FAMO. Otherwise, I find their detail a bit too soft for my taste. I don't care if they are shake'n'bake; I hated that crap when it was applied to pork chops and stuff decades ago and I'm not going for it now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
