I know - how many Sturmtigers do you need, but there's conversion potential -
ammunition carrier and Bergtigers (I
think?), not sure what the 'real working'
refers to but they could have the same clockwork (these days usually pull-back)
mechanism with hidden floor-wheels of those 1960's Japanese kits in HO and
'76th scales, carried by Riko and Hales back in the day?
And - let's be honest - the Panzer V Panther looks miles better
than the old Airfix one! Note the
stock lable says 1:24 which is slightly worrying, but I suspect a type, as I
don't think you could get 1:24th scale kits in those boxes! Also, there's a
note of '4 assorted', there were only three on display, the fourth is a Tiger I.
I still have a couple of unfinished Eidai StΓΌG IV conversions somewhere, and have always preferred the eye-vee to the
eye-eye-eye SPG's! The artwork here is less obviously a kit so don't be too disappointed
when you open it, if it's a bit simple.
I think the advice has to be - buy them if
you see them? And if you do manage to track them down, do try to send the Blog
a picky or two of the runner/contents, or the finished kit?
You can see they are also carrying simple
or 'easy-build' aircraft in 1:72nd scale, a Messerschmitt and some US
carrier-thing (Corsair?)I managed to crop-off! There was a Spitfire and Hurricane as well I think. While Padgett are also importing Meccano-likey!
And for more information, stockists or
trade-enquiries, Paul's your man;
Not sure what the above is about... was just going to point out that the box art is a Stug III not Stug IV!
ReplyDeleteCheers Andy, lax of me to not check the wheels! So that's another to be careful-of when the box is opened!
