Shar2 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 If you're really mad, perhaps you'd like to try one of these. Due out in the next month or so the completed model is over 1m long, over 500mm wide and 430mm high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjames68 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Have ordered one from model and hobby world in lancaster, was hoping for about £400 but according to the rep the kits are on a ship at the moment and due in shops here in about 12 days to 2 weeks but prices arent yet finalised and it could be between 500 and 570 sovereigns of the realm....

Derbyeomanry Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Looks really nice but would be nice to see proper engine deck handles rather that moulded blocks representing them - same with turret and hull hatches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelr32 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Looks really nice but would be nice to see proper engine deck handles rather that moulded blocks representing them - same with turret and hull hatches Agreed. I must say, that kit is not worth £500 in my opinion. Nige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snapper_city Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 500 quid & no. 50 cal. I would feel cheated. What on earth would you do with it? Open the hatches & let the kids use it as a play house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) My local hobby shop had a Dragon 1/6 Sherman kit on display last year, I'm guessing it's not this release but an earlier one. However it was very toy like and had very limited detail, and was outrageously expensive for what you got. For example solid molded lights, no clear lenses, let alone bulbs inside that would be easy in this scale, just molded as one piece and painted silver to represent the lens.

kwaterous Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I would build it, but it would be bigger than any place I could display it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave T Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Just got one of these. Anybody else doing or done one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stashaholic Steve Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Very expensive and getting very much into "toy" territory. I could buy about 15 quality kits in 1/35 for that money so no, I reckon I'll pass thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete610 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 See the 105mm already reduced to £250 on the wonderland website - anyone tempted at half the original price...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I have one of these and I'm just starting the weathering process to represent.it in winter camouflage. Plan of operation... 1. Fill a large bucket with whitewash. 2. Throw whitewash liberally over the tank. 3. Allow to dry. 4. Fill a large flat tray with wet mud. 5. Sellotape two pairs of Action Man boots to Molly the cat's paws. 6. Dunk Molly the cat in the tray. 7. Throw Molly the cat onto the tank. 8. Paint the tray green. 9. Throw the tank away. 10. Place the tray in a suitable kitchen/diner diorama. Wish me luck, Badder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
