GRIM REAPER Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I'm a lot more excited now that we have actual plastic to look at. At first, I was sceptical that this model would be released this year. I'm sure this was a pretty big undertaking for the kit manufacturer. Regardless, I can finally get rid of my four AMT kits. Or I might keep them and build them alongside the modelcollect kit...... Nah, Me thinks I need to make room for this one and the H model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 If this is a patch on their 1/72 armour you wingy folks are in for a treat.....Modelcollect do not muck about! Check this out: Spoiler OOTB.....Under £20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check this out: Reveal hidden contents OOTB.....Under £20. Agreed.It's actually the German WWII "what ifs " (if I may use the term) that really appeal to me. I now have all of the E-50/E-75/E-100 gun tanks! Especially looking forward to the E-100 Rheintochter! Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Ahh.....You mean their fantasy range. Appareantly they will soon be bringing out Ork-Stormtroopers & Dwarven engineers to go with all those implausible vehicles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madoc Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 "...their fantasy range." Perhaps. But it is an exceptionally well rendered range of kits. The moulding is first class as is the kit engineering. For subjects less fantastical you've but to look at their range of other "real world" armor kits for proof of their quality. I picked up one of their B-2 kits and it superbly done. Thus I've great hope for their BUFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, you still using vinegar and lemon juice in your coffee or what? Damn! If you don't like the subjects then don't buy 'em. Oh, and lay off the prune juice too! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I'm British so I don't drink that ghastly stuff, I do occasionally take my tea with lemon, but as a rule I prefer milk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpperDeck Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 They seem happy to have solved the wing dihedral problem... but the nose ??? The radome still seem too much streamlined with the nose section, there does not appear to be some sort of break between the radome and nose.

Brian Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Just finished a great book, got in Kindle, called “Where the Buf Fellows Roam” by James Hooppaw, a ret’d Col. Lots of good descriptions, war stories, comments from his 25+ yr. USAF career going from initial training to his last B-52 flight. FYI. Cheers.

DaveJL Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Still no word on the H model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killingholme Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Looks pretty awesome. Panel lines look a little heavy, but a big airframe like this can take it. If only they copied Monogram and moulded a couple of hooks on the upper fuselage so you can easily hang it from the ceiling! Question now is can I hang on long enough for the one I want (H), or will I buy the G as well... H'mmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
