Yeah, I’m in for one of these... after the LVTE failed to materialise... did I tell you the one about a tank lofting a whale...

I don't think I have heard that one ...
Please tell it again


There is a huge gaping hole in my stash waiting for a few of these.

Another expensive resin conversion bites the dust! I do feel sorry for the resin manufacturers these days as the plastic makers branch out to areas traditionally reserved for AM sets. (But I'm glad to see one in plastic, as the main thing superglue glues is my fingers...)

Hello Robin, and greetings from New Zealand....

A few years back, a humpback whale washed up on a beach in the Netherlands, it was buried with the aid of a Dutch Army bergepanzer 2. The whale of a tale is true, I’ll find the images, too.

These look really nice, and being Takom they've got to be; I'm so-o-o glad I didn't spring for the resin conversion years ago!

It's perfect scale modellbau that make the resin kit, and it's a complete kit and not resin conversion...
it's great to see a plastic kit of this version, takom did already shown this in january in Germany in Nurnberg.. so it's not news for this show in japan
Lets hope we get more modern leopard arv kits in the future
