Ok Ive finally succumbed to my Brit armour obsession. I stated off gently with the little dingo and my next build will be the Italeri commando car of the SAS in Europe. Ive decided to narrowmindedly pursue my obsession and would like to start at WWII and work my way forward in time till I finally get to the present. I imagine this will take me a few years but oh well whats a boy with OCD to do.
My question to you guys is what Brit armour kit from WWII is an absolute joy to build?
most votes I will probably buy as my next build as I figure I might as well start with the good kits before descending into madness and trying the bad ones just cos I`ve got to have it. By armour I mean any vehicle tank , softskin ,artillery it matters not to me as long as it was in use by the British.
Cheers
Rob
Personally, i love the Tamiya 1/35 Cromwell Mk4, i have built 2 now, and plan on building more. They’re easy, look great, and from what i can find lots of aftermarket products available. Also Tamiyas churchill (the roadwheels are a bit tedious)
the Tamiya Cromwell and Chuchill
the churchill is a very old kit but is still good
but the Cromwell and Centaur are new kits
Academy’s M10 or Achilles tank destroyers aren’t too bad either and would be a good choice. I’ve built the M10 as a Kiwi one operated in Italy WWII.
And I should have seconded the Tamiya Cromwell, it’s great.
I built the Churchill Mk VII just a little while ago. It goes back to the late 70’s, but I still enjoyed it. It went together very well.
Thanx guys , Im leaning towards the cromwell , I spotted one today and I should have some spare cash by the weekend , thing is it was sitting next to a Crusader from Revell which was half the price… Im tempted. I`ll wait n see ,I guess, how much cash I have at the weekend.
the crusader is a reboxed iteleri kit, im not sure if its got anything added
