I had seen you can get kits with two in each one and I thought about buying a panther tank but wanted to know if anyone like the kits. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.


Im looking for kits good for wargaming.

Or what brand do others recommend?

These are great for war gaming and have less pieces than other plastic kits. Another similar range to this is Italeri quick build kits.

Well I have a large Dragon Armor collection but I thought it would be fun to buy and build my own, but I know nothing about the 1/72 model kit market. I just happen to notice on ebay that the kits were very affordable and came with 2 models in each kit for about 417 dollars including shipping for the panther's I want.

Whats your view on other kits like Italeri? And are there other good kits. I heard some other manufacturer sells the kits with two vehicles.

just ordered my first armourfast, the new 10.5cm le FH 18M with crew set

better buy than the zvezda 10.5cm but not as good as the revell kit...but it's late war vs Revell's le FH 18s which are early.
