Much to my surprise as I went for last minute Christmas shopping I was confronted by issue 1 of "combat tanks" the part works 1/72 tanks that have been selling in Europe for the last few years (there is even now a second series in europe of just German ww2 vehicles).
So I have my Tiger not a great model but it was £2 so $3 for a 1/72 Tiger and future issues will be £7.99.
In general the tanks are nowhere near as good as Hobby master or Dragon but they do have some unique subjects in the range and I really do like some of them. As an example I have the altaya Matilda and it is actually one of my favourite 1/72 vehicles.
