Hello, everyone. My name is Mike and I just returned to modelling about a year ago. (Made a mess of a few kits as a teenager). I recently bought my first airbrush and compressor and it seems I'm developing a taste for German WWII armor.

Have some catching up to do!

Hope to make some friends and hone my skills!

Welcome Sign

I'm just getting back into German armor myself.

Unfortunately, I decided to build 1/25th scale to match my 1/24th and 1/25th auto builds but learned too late about some Tamiya re-releases.

I may end up buying the Tiger I kit on e-bay.Crying

Welcome Sign I like my armor to fly but someday I may tackle a tank.

Science is the pursiut of knowledge, faith is the pursuit of wisdom.  Peace be with you.

I didn't hear about the Tamiya Tiger I re-release until this year- a few years after the release.

Unfortunately, I only re-entered the hobby last year.

I didn't see the kit in hobby shops and never considered looking for on-line release notices.

If I buy the kit, it will end up via e-bay.

I did, however, pick up an old Tamiya 1/25 Panther  A kit at a local hobby shop.

I'm still attempting to locate an Academy 1/25 Panther G static model but, again, it was re-released a couple of years ago and I did not know about the release..

  May end up paying extra for the motorized version.

Would be nice if someone issued a 1/25 Tiger II.
