Sorry...looks at the hobby table...most of my AFVs need to be assembled..but it beats waiting for 21st to move their arses.

I've gotten stuff from HK in less than 14days with the Post..faster than Eastern Europe sometimes.

Now 21st or Fov need to do something like that but I doubt it.

Absolutely, we need some Japanese, French, Russian and Italian armor in 1/32 and 1/18

that's the old tamiya kit....i built that when i was a teen. Quite fun as i recall.

I've just not seen a non-resin Type 95 Ha-Go light tank in 1/35 in awhile and this one is priced right too.

There really is a HUGE variety in kit form. Much, much more than in pre-made.

I remember when they were ALL there was and I wasn't spoiled lazy....

Hi Aferg,

Is that an old tamiya kit? I'm familiar with the Type 97 Chi Ha that Tamiya made, I've built a few of those myself, but I thought this was the old Fine Molds Type 95. That one goes for $60+ typically in the States. I ordered one of these from a HK dealer a couple of weeks ago. It should arrive soon.

I have been asking Dragon & Hobby Master for some Japanese & Italian armor. Ive also talked with 21st about making a T-34 in atleast 1/32. We get hundreds of calls every year just for japanese pre finished armor

Would hundreds pay for the molds?

Im sure thats thier concern. But you are correct its not my risk to take.

That's probably the big stumbling block to greater variety, the cost of starting up. We may all have to go back to building the kits of what we want....

I agree ,but for guys like me with 5 kids i dont have that time anymore.
I think that HM showed the industry that collectors are hungry for more variety. They have been doing a great job the last 18 months and it seems they have captured a larger part of the market. would you agree?

While I have no direct, personal experience with HM I have friends who are very happy with their models. They, HM, seem to be doing a very good job and from what I have seen they are presenting a number of very important but under represented vehicles.

Yes they are, ive been very happy with the last several releases. Im very happy to see the WWII U.S. armored cars

ltcbj · Post by **ltcbj** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 1:37 pm

I'd like to see WW2 German armored cars myself.

AMERICAN_GRENADIER · Post by **AMERICAN_GRENADIER** » Fri Nov 21, 2008 1:41 pm

YEp, the Puma,Sd.Kfz.231,Sd.Kfz.222 or the Hanomag with pak.40. the hano/pak could easily be done by Dragon.

and the 233/234 series.

I built two of those kits in one afternoon. They are fairly simple and I just brush paint them. I have one and my son has the other...

Very nice.

Tanks for the compliment.

CTS does make a slightly undersize 1:32 version in solid form with a working turret....

This should be it. Kind of lousy picture though.They also have many vehicles like amtracks, landing craft ect are that are not available in "ready to use" form yet...
