I’m in heaven…A SMART Brummbar…guess the H and J models are just around the corner…
A “Masterpiece”
nothing like tooting your own horn [party] [party]
I suppose this is why I was able to snag the OLD brummbar so cheap last week…[(-D]
You see this every time. In the last couple of weeks there have been a 100 Tamiya Grants on ebay. Amazing.
Too bad this isn’t one of their new zimmed kits. I suppose after all the excitement of this release, they will come out with one down the road.
See, I don’t really mind…I haven’t built one yet.
I mean, how bad can the old kit be? Especially for fifteen bucks? [:D]
You mean there is a new Grant coming out???
Academy’s Grant came out here in late April/early May.
Yes.
This is becomming common. If a new one is released or being released, you see a bit of a diluge of the older kits hitting ebay. Notice all the Tamiya Tiger I Lates and Panthers? Tons of them.
Wow, haven’t heard much buzz about it…anyone have the skinny on the kit quality???
From what’s been written it has accuracy issues regarding the bogie unit heights, same as with their recent M3 Lee. But it does come with a nearly complete interior. In the box and test build shots look impressive.
I have the “old” kit, and it’s damn nice as it is. I’mnot sure I can imagine what else they’ve done to it.
Manny,
FSM had a review on the Grant in the July issue. It shares some issues with the Lee. If you’re a subscriber you can check out the review at:
