"...to take up some space"...so are you looking for a LARGE kit?

You can get the Maus HERE for a mere $31.00.

 

Ah, yes, $31 seems like a bargain, but it's $20 for shipping... Also, I just mean a run-of-the-mill armor build, not something big.

The DML/Dragon E100 or Maus are good choices there. Maybe a little more than $25, but nice, big kits, and really not hard builds.

I'm becoming a fan of Cyber-Hobby's Value Pack kits, Sprue Brothers has a lot of them in the $20-30 range, check out their specials section.

I have to agree with Tigerman.....

 

The Trumpeter KV range is simply a very, very nice kit for a reasonable amount of money...And since these beasts had various shades of green and some very interesting field-mods and damage, you can nearly go anywhere!!

 

Good luck on your choice, John.

You should be able to grab one of Trumpeter's KV 1 kits for about that. Yes, older Tamiya kits are available in that range, but I'd prefer something more up-to-date then that. 

Check ebay. Lot's of stuff available for little $$$ if you can find it.

I too, would say something by Tamiya, but just a tad over $25, for a larger kit (Tiger 1 or Tiger 2). Dragon isn't a bad choice either. A little more prep work but, both make superb models.

What are you looking for....German, American, Russian Armor?

Something by Tamiya.

Go online (try Armorama or Missing-lynx) and check out the 'buy, sell, trade' threads or go to a show and snag something off the vendor's table.

Have fun.

For some strange reason, I feel like building a regular 1/35 armor kit to fill up space on my shelves.  I don't want to add any aftermarket, and I want too have fun building it.  My budget is 25 dollars, so can anyone recommend something?
