doesnt surprise me
nor i
cyberhobby will probably come out with the 1 halftrack in the entire army to have zimm on it as their next zimmed offering.
I might put that one on the radar. I’ve never built the Porsche turret version yet. Of course the Tiger I is coming soon. I expect a Panther A or G next. Of course, I got Atak zim for the A, so I’d pass on that one.
I have the Cav zimm for my Dragon Premium A. Looks like that will probably be the next one to be released Tigerman lol
Isn’t it funny how that always happens? [banghead]
I had a feeling that this one’s reception would not be as accepted as the Tiger I or a Panther…
You know, quite honestly, if there had been only ONE kit released with molded-zimm, I would have preferred this one!
These production Porsche kittys were never seen without zimmerit; only the prototype was–so zimm is actually an integral part of the build. And this is a difficult tank to zimm, with that weird turret bulge; VERY difficult with putty-n-saw method! It’s such an elegant-looking tank too, almost like the “Porsche” of the panz…oh wait, it IS the “Porsche” of the panzer-modeler’s world! LOL! [(-D]
I’ll be dumping the earlier release on ebay cheap, and pickin’ one up fer shur! [:D]
This one’s going to be popular among the Tiger family enthusiasts for sure…the combo of the turret and the zim make it different and previously you needed a resin zim set that included a full turret replacement or a lot of patience with the hand-made process as doog points out.
Okay Doog you got me. I have bought alot of German armor for the future. I guess I need to start getting the stuff for them. I bought the Dragon Premium Posche turret King today, a late model panther and late model Tiger. The last two being Tamiya. I also picked up some more modern stuff. My wife had cats when I walked in the door. Anybody want a kitten? LOL! The three new buys are added to my Tam Hetzer, and some hanomags, and Pnz III"s and IV’s. L:ooks as though I will be building osme Eastern front stuff in the future. Thanks alot. Darn my additions![banghead]
Rudi, you’ve got a lot more German stuff to get. LOL
Whoooeeee! I knew this was going out soon because their first zim KT has parts for the Porsche version. I’m going to China in a couple of weeks…I wonder if I can pick this up in Hong Kong cheap?? Maybe the Trumpeter E-100 also?
Ernest, I’ll be sending you a shopping list…[:-^]
Was that just sarcasm about how cyberhobby loves digging up plans of obsolets vehicles and producing kits of vehicles that hardly even saw the light of day? Or was there really a zimmed halftrack? If so, what was it called, and anyone got pictures?
I dont have it but I know there are wartime pics out there of a zimmed halftrack!! MR you got pics of it??
Here ya go…[:D]
Thats it, knew I had seen one, talk about a one-off vehicle!!
[:D] OK Eric, but you’re the only one!! Otherwise I’ll be stuck in customs trying to explain why I have 20 dozen model kits in my luggage![(-D]
Something for the Christmas list…
