Re: 1/18 Tiger II Production Has Started But Kinda Stalle

It is better as one at the time to get your orders down,i can't really see the advantage of making all at once.however making one at the time you can see the progress and there is always for you the fun challenge of making and putting together each kit in less time. We will also get the benefit of s...

Re: 1/18 German Panzerjaegers/Jagdpanzer custom (Ebay)

I wrote to the seller to let him know about the size of the Hetzer and he has improved the Hetzer. His latest Hetzer on ebay has 10 1/2" long x 4 1/2" tall x 5 1/2" wide. He took better pictures in different angles next to a 21st century toys tiger tank. It is still not perfect,but is getting better.

Great work on the RSO Grunt. I only wish the cost to produce this can be reduced. I see that other products you have build are very affordable like the Kettenkrad. I can already see that small items will be best seller. I think you should consider casting molds to produce the large vehicles in in re...

Re: 1/18 German Sdkfz 8 (88) handmade miltary vehicle Ebay

The Puma looks pretty good to me. The 222 armor car may not be very desirable because Pickelhaube has a perfect kit. For $100 already built and painted,it can help fill the gaps on my German Army. The jagdpanther and the wirbelwind are too inaccurate for my taste. I never been a fan of the 88 Famo,b...

Re: 1/18th King Tiger Prototype Pics Finally !!!

WOW,the King Tiger looks really massive. I cant wait to see it next to the panther.
The Jagdtiger should be the biggest.
After this,i will have to get a M10 so my U.S. army can stand a chance.

Re: 1/18 German SdKfz 221 custom (Ebay)

And i also look on another that he sold in gray.item number:
170919661528
The interesting part about the second one is the picture shows on the background more custom tanks.Looks like a Puma and a Elefant.
I wonder if this are paper models.They are not perfect but acceptable for the price.

It looks like the elite force WWII Sherman,but the only difference is that yours have wider tracks and mud rails on the side of the tanks.
A few of this where made and used in 1945.
