Here is my first purchase of small scale military model. It is fully made of plastic though but I will get a diecast as soon as I am capable of affording it. :)

Welcome! Looks like a decent start and if you look around on some e-tailer sites, you can find Dragon 1/72 on sale for the price you paid for the Easy Model stuff.

Hey man, welcome!

What're you're main areas of interests in models? 1/35? Modern or WWII?

It'll have a gun that will elevate too. Still the EM stuff is not bad for the money, but when you can find Dragon for the same price it's a no-brainer. If I can ever find one at a reasonable price I'd like to get one of the Franklin Mint Diecast Sherman E8's (1/24th I believe), I hear they are really nice. Wish somebody would model a 1/32 Easy Eight Sherman, it was one of the best Shermies of the war.

I've found a local store which is selling second hand dragon armour stuff and they are quite cheap for purchase. So here are my first diecast models to be shown also. It is nearly the same price as the EM stuff :lol:

And I can't resist buying this newly arrived stuff but to be frank it is not at a good price.
