German WWII Tank Kits help
Posted by Models32466 on Tuesday, November 27, 2018 6:27 PM

So Started witha King Tiger, went to M40 and M109 and have Tamiya M1A2 OIF on my work table (don’t have a work bench).  Purchased four Tamiya Kits Sherman Easy Eight, M3 Lee, M3 Stuart and Walker Bulldog.

Would like some ideas on German Tank WWII kits. I like the Tamiya but not Married to the brand, just don’t know enough about the other Brands.  Struggled with the Meng T90.

Looking for about three Kits to Balanace out the US Version.

Thanks in Adavnce

You could try academy's tiger II? Tamiya makes 1/48 scale armor, they're not badly detailed either.

 Never give up, never quit, never stop modelling.Idea

Last year I put together the 1/35 Tamiya Tiger I (35216) and the 1/35 Jagdpanther (35203) and enjoyed every minute of the builds.  They go together without a fuss and rather quickly and produce excellent final products!

If you like Tamiya kits, the Panzer III Ausf.J is a nice kit (Edit: I meant to say Ausf.L. Tamiya don't make a "J")

For a little diversity, if you don't mind the open-top SPG's, the Marder III kits and Wespe are quite nice too, with lots of visible details in the fighting compartments.

Takom is making some really nice Panther versions, and some with full interiors. They have a decent price point too.

For German armor,I prefer Dragon for their Tigers,Panthers,Stug III,Jagdpanthers and Jagdtigers,and Jagdpanzer IV,they are detailed and well engineered kits.

The thing with Dragon kits, go slow building them. So many parts enough to lose track of them. I’m currently working on the ZSU-23-4M Air Defense System aka: Shilka.
