Mark M Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 yesterday i bought a 1/35 LEE challanger (3) for £10 from the midlands air museum, the models is highly detailed and crisp, the instructions refer to tamiya paints and the instructions themselves look like tamiya ones, so is it a reboxed tamiya? there are others in the series, and i may have to buy them!

pigsty Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I believe they're knock-offs in the same mode as Zhengdefu, Mini-Hobby Models, and early Trumpeter. A lot of these are poor second-generation copies of the originals (generally Tamiya) but if the ones you've found are up to standard and cheap, congratulations!

Mark M Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 i know nothing about Armour, so when i saw the kit i thought id have a pop, the models is really well detailed and crisp, it includes nylon mesh and bolts for the hull and nice looking rubber track, compared to a friends tamiya panza the level of detail and crispness is the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigsty Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Not Dee C Lee then? One thing to watch for is the decals. On a lot of these kits they're awful, even if the plastic is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
