It’s Christmas, and where is my hobby shop next door to my house with free models! But I did happen to recieve two very fine looking kits-the Tamiya King Tiger-Ardennes Front-henschel turret, and Dragons T-34/76 Model 1940. I would like to know the low-down on these if it would not be to hard, but, it would be nice, since you failed your last project. They look very fine molded, and i am thinking about using a different barrel for the king tiger, and fruil tracks for it also.
THANKS
Happy holidays!
Sorry Beav, I’m not sure where we failed you last time. I assume someone said a particular kit was great and it was not? Anyway, from the grapevine, the Kingtiger seems to be a typically nice put together kit from Tamiya in typical Tamiya manner.
The new Dragon kit just came out, and again I’m hearing very good things said about it as well. I believe it comes with some pe parts and indy track links. It’s always nice to add some am parts and I hear fruil tracks are very nice, but to me quite expensive.
Those are both good kits, Beav.
And yeah, who failed you how??
Next year you must do more to please the fat elf!
[#ditto] LOL

beav,
There’s no hobby shop with free models next to your house?
Then who’s house did I put that thing next to?
You guys are funny. LOL.
beav: I did a Tamiya King Tiger some months back and it is a very good kit. I might suggest however that use AM tracks. The tracks provided are a bit too tight. The Dragon T-34 is another cool kit. Never tried one but if it is in the same league as their new Panthers then it must be good.
Good luck.
Ok, I admit it, I was a little harsh, but I did make a promise for you to me-to put a brand new hobby shop with free models next door to our farm. But, from what I hear, the kits seem, and look very nice. This morning, I went to my mothers house, and recieved Dragons 352nd Volksgrenaidiers, a pair of 2cm Flakvierling 38’s(a little duplication), and tamiya’s 251/1 half track, I also gave away my best model-my Tamiya m3a2, which, went to my father-oh yeah, about that kit for the grapevine, it has loose tracks!(which is strange since all my other tamiya stuff is tight.)
Thanks!
