Got an email from Models UA, and there are 2 new Soviet era vehicles now available, both in 1/72nd scale. One I like the look of is the AT-T heavy artillery prime mover http://modelsua.com/AT-T-heavy-artillery-prime-mover-1-72-Armory-ARM72101.html
the other is a KrAZ-258 sadle tractor http://modelsua.com/AT-T-heavy-artillery-prime-mover-1-72-Armory-ARM72101.html
The are in my opinion a bit on the expensive side, but still they are quite different.

Think the street is wide enough to traverse the turret?

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

No, but a Sherman driver watching that barrel swivelling around a corner as the tank came into view would be defecating bricks! :o

I've got that Lowe kit and it's nicely done.  They're soon to come out with the other version of it in which the turret is placed at the rear of the tank so as to effectively "shorten" the barrel.  At least that was the announced design intent.  Looks rather funky and surprisingly modern in such a placement though.

Two 1/144th Me.163 Komets plus a trailer for £8: seems like a good deal to me!

I assume the RAF version is the one Capt Eric Brown flew  :bow: and the Soviet's must have flown them as well. Probably built a couple as well ?

Just wonder if you could use on a 1/72 bomber as an early cruise missile ?

I'm sure YOU could, just pick your bomber.  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Not sure if there is a thread for these people, but my battery is about to go. Models Ua has lots of accessories and resin/photo etch stuff in made by them and they are also in the market of making very nice looking kits like this

Strangely mate you started the original thread back in 2011  ;D

I'll look at merging it, when I remember how.

Look at that ! Be a great base kit. I'd modernize the cab a wee bit and make it more Anglo  :thumbsup:

And funny how quick time and the memory fly away on us !

Dunno, got a slightly "Bedford" look to it I think. For the non Brits Bedford was a UK lorry producer.

I got some 1/72 F-35 wheels from them which are quite good. One set is for an RCAF F-35A and they're different.  Which is kinda strange as Canada hasn't ordered the F-35 yet so why would the wheels be different
