Panzer Vor!!! Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Every time I look at the V2 I want to extend the fins paint it silver like a rocket and its transporter from a 50s sci fi movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042393/?ref_=tt_rec_tti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not but at the rate Takom releases new kits I'm not going to complain. Looking forward to their M113's being released soon.

They have only announced the ACAV version so far. I'm hoping for other versions to follow like their T-55 & Chieftain range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I'd like at least two of those, including the transported V2. Bit torn about it though - they're really cool looking and are an important part of rocket history, but I also remember my Granny telling me about her time in London during the blitz...

They originally boxed it as three separate kits. The male, the female and the hermaphrodite. They've just done it as a single box now, and included the click-link tracks from the Whippet and Tadpole.

Will Yes, I can't say that the box art for the V-2 is in particularly good taste. They are releasing the Hanomag on it's own without the trailer and V-2 Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Vale Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I dunno, I think I respect the box art for acknowledging the V2 as a terror weapon rather than simply an engineering feat or a fat little rocket. I certainly wouldn't think worse of anyone who wants to build one And even my uncertainty about building my own doesn't make sense given that I have a V1 in the cupboard and those were the ones Granny really hated.

Will Vale Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 To be absolutely clear, I was only ever talking about whether *I* wanted to build one - as I said, I do, but I feel a bit odd about that due to family history. Everyone else can follow their own path through the grey (plastic) areas Cheers, Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentG Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 All of them look good to me. I primarily model German Panzers from North Africa. My father was there with the US Army and two different German relatives served in the campaign on the, ahem "other side". For me it's a "family affair"! Even worse, I Jewish................................ G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
