Value is in the eye of the beholder, for sure! Some might even say, you get what you pay for
Being an irreconcilable Sherman builder, this is to be the penultimate Sherman kit in 1/35. Having had their Pz II ausf L Luchs, I know what “excellence” in 1/35 kit design can be. This one is something to behold.
Take care and best of luck and enjoyment to you w/your Alan Pz II (I have that on my “to build” list too!)
The Tasca Luchs was an absolute dream to build…even had tensionable idlers and movable suspension…much better than the ICM/Maquette/Alan in terms of quality, detail, etc. so have to lean in the get what you pay for camp myself on that question…but they are on the higher end of the price spectrum for styrene kits, no question there. The Vc is something that will be very popular I imagine with the Commonwealth/Shermanoholics crowd.
