Small Scale Military Headquarters

I sent the Hooben Rep an email that said "I told all my friends and the fourm about this so do I get a free tank?" and she replied back with this...

"Dear John,

Thanks for your help. I would like to sent one to you if i am the boss of the company.
How about you organize the ones who are interested in the tank.Then I can give you some discount as the following.

3pcs 20%
4-11 30%
12-99 35%
100-499 40%
500-999 45%
I can ship the goods to the place that you appoint.
Best regards.

Shirley"

I dont think we could get to the 100+ but it seems there is allot of interest here in this and I would think we could get to the 4+ which is 30% off!
30% off of $138 is $41.40 off or $96.60)

$96.60+$58 shipping + $8 paypal fee = $162.60

Im getting one if paypal will extend my coverage, if there are 3 or more guys who want to go in on this with me Ill wait to place the order till some time next week.

If we do it, when I get them I will divide up the order and ship out the tanks via whatever service you want, USPS parcel post w/delivery confirmation is my usual shipping I use when mailing models but it will be up to the buyer.

I figure parcel post in the US should be around $15 so its still a savings of about $25 off the $196.


Let me know guys...

See 1/16 Maus thread for more background on this if needed.

Sounds like a great idea. I don't think we should miss this chance to get the Elephant this cheap. I am in for one kit, anyone else up for this? Sound off so we can get this together guys.

Thats great news! I also just talked to the rep and she reconfirmed the price for 4 or more kits is $161 each, shipped. With my order and Maritime's order we only need 2 more guys to step up! Come on guys its a 1/16 Elephant!!

The rep sent me this

Everyone should look at this link to pictures, you can see it is good quality model, injected plastic on trees, very professional looking.

If you are still interested and have not alrerady done so please PM him. He has not been able to get in touch with a few of the guys who said they would like to get the kit. Thanks guys

PM sent today. This is going to be cool, other than 1:18th customs I can't remember the last time I built a kit.
21st spoiled me......

I have been looking forward to this kit for a long time. Doubt we will ever see it in 1/18, but as good as it looks I am fine with 1/16 just to get one in my collection. @Normandy - 21st century spoiled us all LOL

........ ok so they're Ferdinands........... still look cool

I haven't heard anything. Is this still a go?

Uh......yeah it went. Only four guys responded.

The boat from China came in today.....

Thanks, this was well worth the wait!

I'll send You a PM this evening. The Kit looks Great!!
