Hewy Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Awsome finish stix, really impressive build, you make it seem so easy to finish a model to this standard, 👍👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 thats a great build @PlaStix. I had to look as I am trying to find something "simple" to add to the stash to break up the rest (all full interior or AM beasts)... think I have made my mind up to get one of these kits (not sure which of the variants yet) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can really recommend this kit. I really did thoroughly enjoy this build as it's a great kit. As you mention - there are other variants from Hobby Boss. I decided on this one because I felt it was the best from the reviews of them all I read and especially as it came with the track links rather than the rubber band versions. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Stix late version comes with indi-link tracks..... think I may go for that one... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 Hi @robw_uk. I must admit I thought the late version came with two sets of vinyl bands - two separate types/sizes. From the videos I thought there were only a few spare links of track on the sprues. That's great if it does come with a full set of links!

Kind regards, Stix yeah looks like you might be right... the HobbyBoss website shows "some" track being clipped together but the video review I have just seen only shows rubber tracks.... will reconsider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robw_uk Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 back looking at this build.... am thinking a what-if where the add-on armour (mantlet/ears/front) fresh off a canibalised Panther still in German scheme (so could have various schemes from various tanks)... might make for something of an interesting finish with some US markings on as well.... still have a ways ot go on other kits before I start so will continue to ponder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
