Small Scale Military Headquarters

there's been much talk about Trumpeter's T-34, both in kit and r/c form and many have asked questions about it, wondering if they should get one or not, maybe holding out for a 1/18 scale version from somebody, like FOV. Personally, i doubt FOV will make one to sell in Target stores, because i doubt they would perceive it as a good thing to sell there. So unless the Bravo Team line expands beyond Target, we may not get one from them.

Anyway, who's taken the plunge, or going to take the plunge and who's going to hold out for a 1/18 one?

History is waiting..

Holding out for 1/18. I only have two 1/16 tanks and really don't want to find room to display a collection in 1/16.

TTT

Got two already, planning on getting a couple more in order to convert them into an SU-100 and SU-85.

What's not to like? For just a little more money than what XD armor is going for nowdays, you get a far more accurate model.

BUILD IT!!! It's a fun kit to build. Very little hassle.

i was planning on an su-85 and su-122 (using a card model as templates)

I really like my green RC version of the Trumpeter T-34/85, and I'm thinking of adding a winter white version to my stable of 1/16 RC tanks in the near future. I just wish 21st, Dragon, FOV, or BBI would make some 1/18 scale WWII Russian troops.

I won the kit off of e-bay before I even heard of the R/C Kit. The R/C was cheaper !! I am what you would call lazy I have the R/C out but I haven't put on any of the handels or all of the little do dads to compleat it. It would be nice to have a T-34/85 in 1/18. Wasn't somebody on the board going to make one?

I am on the fence. I would like to keep my collection at 1/18th. My Dad has the kit version and I drool over it everytime I se it. But when I compare it with his 18ths, it just looks to big.

Have one RC T-34 - believe it was Aferg who tipped the board off to a smoking auction one time. Absolutely love it. Had it out again yesterday with a few IJ Russians hanging on it (I don't get picky on scales when its flying across my backyard 20 feet away). The vodka was flowing, and a good time was had by all!

While I have been defending new pricing, I find that $100+ is a bitter pill to swallow. I feel too poor to afford one, but could easily have bought two recently if I had shown some restraint on other toys.

I am sure someday I will feel like a high roller and pick some up, but for now will stick to 1/18.

I'm holding out in hopes FOV might make a T-34. If it costs the same as the Tiger I and Sherman I'll buy a few for customs. At a $100+ it would be hard to start cutting them up.
