Feedback on Bandai Russian Tank kit?

Ah, the li'l Bandai kits!
One of my first tanks ever was the Tiger II w/Porsche turret.
Great kit, still got it!

I'm slowly building a collection of the Bandai 48th stuff, as well as others. (To go along with my 48th things with wings)

I've got a couple of the T-34's and for their age they look fairly decent. I too would like to hear some specifics on this particular kit.

The latest addition is a Bandai Wespe. Unfortunately, no instructions.


Fade to Black...

I have to agree with the Major these were cool kits. I built a few of these years ago. I still have a Jagdpanther laying around here somewhere. Every now and then you come across them. Bandai called the series the Panzertruppe Series if memory serves. Have fun.

This was actually my first Bandai kit I ever built. I loved it, but at the time it was beyond my meager skills and I trashed it. I've got several now: M-12 howitzer, M4A3 Sherman, Hetzer and an Opel Maultier.

The Bandai kits are really cool, and have great interior detailing. Even though the detail holds up well, the kits are around the 30 year old mark and some detailing is simplified and inaccurate. But it gives you a great place to start. There are some old Eduard photo etch detailing sets kicking around for some of the old Bandai kits. I don't know if the T-34 was one of them, I've got a set for the Sherman and it adds a lot to the kit.
