I've just (yesterday) purchased a collection of 3 large-scale AFV models on Ebay - the Tamiya 1/16 King Tiger (static model, not RC), and the "21st Century Toys" 1/18 Tiger and Panther.
I don't really have the space for them, but I just couldn't resist such a bargain - about £130 ($200) for all 3!
This seems extremely good value considering the King Tiger alone costs £200 new even in non-RC form.
The 21st Century tanks (sold pre-assembled) aren't anywhere near the quality and detail of a kit-built model, but I intend to repaint them and add as much exterior and interior detail as I can!
Anyway, my main question is : What sort of aftermarket detail items are available for 1/16 tanks, and where can you
buy them in the UK? (I tried the Hannants website but they don't seem to have any).
I know Aber make a very large and comprehensive photo-etch set for the Tiger (1/16, but I'm guessing most of the parts wouldn't look too overscale on a 1/18 model) but what about the King Tiger?
Normally I steer well clear of aftermarket products, but in this case, I really want to make the best job possible of these models!
