CMK 1/35 STUG IV LATE

I haven't seen this particular kit, but I built a 35t CMK kit a while back and it had some problems, but turned out okay. I don't know what kits go for in the U.K., but $33 for a CMK kit seems a little steep to me.

I agree w/Spamicus

You guys are closer than we are to the Czech republic - I've seen them for less

I have a couple CMK kits - good clean detail -individual links on the treads (at least in these kits)- alittle bit of scraping. They make good aftermarket resin products as well. My luck has been good.

I don't know about the tamiya/cmk combo, though

ive got the CMK Ostwind and ive had to remake the barrel and ive used the Dragon panzer IV
it might be better looking for the Dragon stug IV

They are asking too much for an old tool Tamiya kit and some aftermarket parts. I have the CMK Bergepanzer IV and it is old tool Tamiya as well. I don't think I paid more than $15 for it.

Oh dear I sounds like i may have been stiched up!

I paid £17 ($28.50) from a guy on Ebay it does includ P+P

The PE is Eduard so the guy on ebay says, i found the kit at http://www.militaryhobbies.com/product.cfm?ProductID=1857 where its up for $35.

Are CMK kits not that good then?

the newer CMK kits look good it that the old ones were just let down by the old tamiya kits in the box and at a high price i paid £35 for my Ostwind and was very disapointed when there was an old Panzer IV in the box.

Relax Box1,

I don't think you got "stitched up". Most all kits are descent in one way or another. In terms of value - it may be more than some people would pay for it.

Here's a site that may help a little next time:

Now don't take that as gospel. Some of these "fair" kits I have done without a problem and have made some nice models but might not be 100% accurate.

Good luck

Thanks for the link Build 22, that will help if i get stuff from ebay again.

I was jus a bit worried coz i have only ever done Tamiya before [:0], i know what asheltered life iv had. This was back in the 70/80's and if i remeber some of the Tamiya stuff wasnt that good back then. I remeber big holes underneath! and slots above the drives. (motorized kit converstion)

It will be fun to try somthing new!

I have only been back into modling a few months and i already have a growing collection of kits waiting for me.

Glad it helped Box1

Yeah, some of the old Tamiya wasn't as good -probably good for the day. The older stuff are the ones with MM in front of the number. Tamiya now is very good.

Watch out for early Academy - kits with the low 1300's - they are copies of the old Tamiya

it will be ok Dave
oh by the way All the tamiya armour kits have MM infront of there number
my Famo is MM 239 and the Panther G is MM 174

I saw the same model listed on greatmodels.com for over 42.00. I think you got a good deal on your kit box1.

I still havnt finished my Tamiya Panther G or 1/16 Tiger and i have:
