Birthday Present Choice!

It's a very nice kit Ben,I would recommend it for sure,metal barrel,and some PE,it builds up real nice,but I know you won't be satisfied with the DS tracks and will have to by Fruils also.

I'd be tempted to step out of your comfort zone a bit and try something you wouldn't normally go for. Don't know what you've build so far but what about the new Dragon Priest or one of the AFV Strykers

Phil

Cheers for the input guys,

I know this is quite a new kit so I'm not sure if anyone has experience of it yet but it sure looks sweet!

I had a look at that very kit a couple of days ago. Looks great  but I already have two Panzer IV L's in ths stash and cant justify it to myself

Phil

That one is definitely on my list,I like the mesh schurzen

I've been wanting both of them but I would go with the Elefant, some nice PE looks like tool clamps too, the zim is already molded on and its a Dragon can't go wrong I would just change the tracks out for some nice indy or metal. By the way I took your advice and bought some fruils for my next build there awsome just like you said

Cheers guys,

Both nice looking kits ain't they?

I think I'm going to go with the Elefant - it's a pricey kit compared to some but it's like nothing else in my cabinet and looks like a darn good kit!

I've got a Panzer IV G coming up as my next build (I'll probably build this Elefant next though now) so I think keeping the build very varied is important. I have that L/70 on my list though - the Schurzen look sweet!

Ben

It's your birthday... choose what makes you happy...

I have this kit in the stash but not built.  Talking about the Elefant.   Looking through it, looks to be very nice.  My only complaint would be the DS tracks.  I will be looking to replace them.  I can take some pics of the sprues if you like.

I don't know a thing about either kit, but from the photos, i'd choose the Elefant - looks nice and menacing.

PS: Happy Birthday!

Hope you post some pics of the sprues once you get your new kit.

Hi chaps,

I ordered the Elefant in the end - very nice it looks too. I'll be building it this side of Christmas as soon as my Tiger got Tigerman's GB is complete.

I'll be ordering that L/70 asap too

Ben

Good choice Ben,great kit
