trickyrich Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 this lovely showed up the other day just before I headed off with work. It's a small deep box and is jammed packed with parts......I made the mistake pulling everything out to look at them, now the box won't close and I can't remember the order in! Has full interior and the works, plus a clear top to show it all off as well. Got it from China, super cheap and only took 7 days from time of order (on evilBay) till it arrived in Oz. About to but some more stuff from this guy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Just realised I haven't decided what to build yet for this STGB. I've got plenty in 1/35 and some in 1/48. Might build a couple of 1/48 versions or go for one of the more complex 1/35 Tigers. I'll have to have a look through what I've got at the weekend. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 not long after this STGB got the required numbers, I wrote off to the tank museum down in Bovington. To see if there was any chance of a free ticket for a prize, I got an e-mail back saying all complementary tickets had been allocated for 2018 try again in January. So I did and below is a family ticket for the tank museum valid until Jan 2020, I just need to workout with Stix and Enzo the fairest way to award this prize. a big thank you to the tank museum. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Churchill Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I had such a good time with the Pz IV STGB, it would be a shame to miss this. Not sure what I'll build, maybe an Elefant? Will be 1:72 whatever it is. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Churchill Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Can anyone clear something up for me? According to Scalemates and some reviews I've found, Dragon released a 1:72 Elefant in 2003, model number 7201. This was somewhat flawed and so just a year later they brought out model number 7253, badged as the Armor Pro version, which corrected some of the issues with the earlier release. 7253 also had the option of both one-piece tracks or line and link, and included some photoetch. Now 7253 is difficult to find, and often overpriced. But in 2017 Dragon brought out model 7515. This is easy to find in the UK and the box says Armor Pro. But I can't find any reviews of it and the few images of the box contents and instruction sheet that I can find seem to show that this latest version no longer has the line and link tracks or the photoetch or the bit of interior detail that 7253 had. Does anyone know if the 7515 version is as detailed as the older 7253, at least externally? Because if it is then I'll get it for this STGB, and if not then I'll keep hunting for the older release and if necessary order it from outside the UK.
