Trumpeter 1:16 T-34/85 RC

Post by ostketten » Sun Apr 06, 2008 5:54 am

Supposedly this is a new release, the shipping from HK is a killer, but the tank does look very nicely detailed and weathered. If these make it over to US shores in the near future the net cost for one would probably be considerably lower than this auction with it's high shipping. Aferg has a 1:16 T-34 of some kind, and says they mix pretty well with XD figures and vehicles. Now...where do I find 1:18 Russian figures...ack :?

been around for a couple of years. The used to be alot cheaper. The only thing new about it is there is also a winter white version available now.

Nice model, however. Well worth getting if the size doesn't bother you.

The drivers hatch is functional, but you have to take the tank apart to open the latch from the inside.
