NEW M24 Chaffee in1/72

[Yorkshire man]

HI,

 

OKB to release a M24 in PLASTIC (yes, not resin) in two versions, at last we can say goodbye to the ageing Hasegawa kit !

 

 

[badger]

Brilliant news - thanks for sharing!

[Sgt.Squarehead]

Now that got my attention.....Want! 

[Wm Blecky]

If it is anything at all like their resin tracks and running gear sets, it will be a definite winner!

[Roman Schilhart]

Welcome replacement for that old Hasegawa kit, sleeping somewhere in my stash.

[Sgt.Squarehead]

I've got five of the bloody things and a shedload of Pz.III track to sort out their most obvious issues.....They'll probably get converted to zimmeritt once the OKB kit is out.

Further news..... available at a pre order price of 12.80 euros, will increase after offer to 16.00 euros ....... postage 7.00 euros

forgot postage

[Yorkshire man]

Just placed an order for one.

 

[Sgt.Squarehead]

I went a bit mad. 

 

Does anyone want to buy some Hasegawa kits.....I need five new kit storage slots! 

[Yorkshire man]

I knew you would give in to temptation Sgt.

Stick them on ebay.

If you have a Dragon ausf G stug that need zimmerit this may be of interest:-  https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/pantherv/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

From what I understand this person usually does 1/35 scale accs but is branching into 1/72 with various manufacturer versions of zimmerit for Panther and Panzer IV for the Revell kits which are nearly ready for release and has they are like paper don't cost the earth to post.

 

 

[Sgt.Squarehead]

It's OK.....I've got five Hasegawa Chaffees & five litres of MEK, all the zimmeritt a man could ever need!

Looks lovely. Wish I'd ordered one when there was an offer on 

[Yorkshire man]

Please note that the grab handles  and figure were added by the builder, these are not included.

It appears that the kits are now being dispatched out, looking forward to receiving  mine.

[Sgt.Squarehead]

Me too (well five actually). 

[Yorkshire man]

Hi all,

 

glad to say mine turned up today, well worth the wait ( it's one big box though !).

 

[Sgt.Squarehead]

I'm all excited waiting for mine.....God knows where I'll put them, I fear these may be the straw that breaks the camel's back as far as my kit storage goes!

Build them! 

[Sgt.Squarehead]

I've got no space to build them in.....I have literally stashed myself into a corner! 

 

These were the last five kits I had on order.....But then, Modelcollect (I blame that Black-Duncan fella)!

I have been looking through the instructions (which are very clearly laid out) and you can have the drivers/machine gunners positions periscope hatches either open or closed !
