It was either yesterday or the day before, or maybe earlier in the week............but a place called EB Store on Amazon had the T28 Super Heavy Tank for about $90-95. Now they have it for over $300!!!!! WHAT THE HELL?!  :blink:  :blink:  :blink:  :blink:  :blink:
Glad I'm not buying from them. That is outrageous.

Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

It is not too hard.  I'd recommend getting a smaller one as well, to test the techniques on before attempting the big kits.   I've built a couple and bought quite a few over the last 18 months, which I'm girding my loins for.  ;)

And THIRTY ONE people bid on it!!!  :o
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

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Is this one of those covert drug deals you hear about?  They put a stupid price on something seemingly trivial so only the drug purchasers will buy it and that way Paypal are involved in the deal?

I could do with the shark mouth decal form the Mohawk.  What's 91 euro's in real money?

$AU 126.  OK, that is a bit steep.  Even for a Hasegawa "special" kit.

- 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.

A quarter of a million quid and he STILL wants £1.70 postage???  :o

?? I'm missing something here. The buy it now price is £6 + £1.70 P&P which some would say is fine for painted figures. Steel P would be able to offer a better idea

ive got 6 quid as well,  probably ok if that's what you want,  but the guy on the right looks more like a US Cavalryman than a Mongol to me
could it be that the  wrong price was on and some one realised and re priced ?
1:72 plastics are normaly as cheap as chips  bare, the painting on these is ok ish
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances.

Cheers mate. Must admit they didn't look particularly Mongolian to me

I've got a few plastics to sell and they will almost be going on by weight !  ;D
