New paper panzers by Amusing Hobby

Three new paper panzers including the Lion, VK1602 Leopard, and the VK3002, which was a German T-34 ripoff design. 

Well, definitely different and not the same old stuff.

As a big fan of German what if designs, these are a nice addition. Personally i will give the 3002 a miss, but i will deffinatly be looking out for the other two. Will be nice to add the Lowe to the collection.

Has the leopard been done before.

I think the Leopard might have indeed been done before. Maybe a resin kit? 

Anyone know much about this new company? Of course reviews will be imperative.

This company did a Neubaufahrzeug recently. Their is a review in the March FSM. I was planning on getting their kit rather than the other two options, thats if i can find it in the UK.

Just read the review and it appears geared towards advanced modelers (his opinion), probably due to the PE and high parts count. The tracks sounded like a nightmare. It'll be interesting to see if they learned from their first kit and simplified these next kits.

Ye, i noticed that. Problem is i have no idea who is selling this. Their website isn't great, you can only access their contact page and the Neubaufahrzeug page. But i guess someone must be selling them.

You can't locate them at any of the main online companies? I haven't looked myself.

It seems Lucky Model is the only company to carry it so far.

Snap lol.

Not bad, includeing postage to the UK, it would cost me less than £40. Well lets hope Lucky Model and a few others carry these new items.

I've never ordered from Luckymodel before, but have heard great experiences from other members.

Well, i am in no rush, being very strict with myself this year. I will just hold on and see if it makes it this side of the pond. We are bound to see one of these built on here soon.

Guys, if I may jump in I've ordered from Lucky once and had generally a good experience from them. One word of warning though, when they list something as available it means they can get it from the company, not that they have it in stock in their warehouse. Normally that's not a problem but on the order I had one figure that they had to wait on - so they held the entire order till they were able to get it. I tried to delete the figure but couldn't figure out how to. I'm not knocking the company just saying that you might not want to order a big pile of stuff unless you want to take the chance on something delaying the whole thing.

Thanks for the warning. If i did order it from them, it would just be the one item. And i am never in a rush for model stuff so i don't mind waiting.

I guess I can understand that. If they shipped more then once, it would increase the shipping costs. No one wins there.
