Leo O'ConnorWaited 40+ years to get a model of this as actually sat in one in the late sixties at an Army open day in Birkenhead, what a day for a 6 year old!,,,,

Leo O'ConnorAnyone who likes British Armour has to get this kit at any price. Such a beautiful design, a real icon for all it's faults...

Matthias WeissOh beautiful! Wow, you waited even longer for that kit than a East German for his car... 🙂
How much does that thing kost, 100 EUR + I guess.

Leo O'Connor? Very funny man and yup it costs around ?110, which is a lot but I had to have it when I found it, I think up you know what I mean. To actually sit in one aged 6 was an experience I have never forgotten...cheers Matthias. Are you in Germany or what was the GDR of old ?

Leo O'ConnorCan't get Emoticons to appear via my IPAD , lovely piece of kit but limited compared to a PC.

Maarten Kruizengaawesome!
how tall were you compared to the wheels at the time?

Matthias WeissHey Leo,
Nope, I'm not in Germany, I'm in China currently.
110 bucks is still OK I think. Never had a Acc. Arm. kit in my hands but from what I have seen on pics they are really master pieces of resin models and for sure worth the money.
And yes, I know what you mean, there are things you just can't get out of your mind until you hold them in your hands....

Leo O'ConnorWhen I said a real icon for all it's faults I meant the real vehicle not the beautiful kit from Accurate Armour. They have sooooo many kits I would like but money will have to be saved as I am on disability and it's hard to save enough,this will do for now though as it is my fave vehicle of all time. Mostly I love Panzer IV's and III's from Dragon and other good makers and you cannot get better than Tasca for Sherman's . Superb kits those Tasca ones , I have 4 so far and the workmanship is next to non. Recommended above all else for Sherman kits. The Dog's ?

Matthias WeissHey Leo, I'm more in Russian tanks and trucks than in Panzer III and IV.
But I like British vehicles as well, I will put a Bedford QL from Italeri on the bench, soon.
Like the extraordinary looking.
