Kits, Plans and the decision making process...... [TANKS]

["Tony Swallow" <tony_swallow-at-hotmail.com>]

I believe the idea of people providing kits is a fantastic thing which will 
make it easier for many players. Plans are also great as they help people 
kick off. For myself I am thinking of building a Hetzer. It looks mean, is 
turrentless (is simpler so is better for a first tank) and has no complex 
curves in the hull. Additionally Joe Sommer has been kind enough to post the 
plans he used with all dimensions. I have no problems scaling diagrams 
(actually that pretty much sums up my occupation), but I AM Lazy. So given 
Joe has done this  already I'm quite happy to use it.

Thanks Joe :)

At the end of the day it is all personal preference. Some people want 
something that is ready to fight. Others want to have some components but 
not everything. Others want to scratch build from plans. and some want to 
scratch build from 2 grainy photographs (In my Teenage years I scratch built 
a couple of 1:72 model planes from plan and elevation drawings).

Anyone who provides anything that helps the new person is to be applauded. 
Although I wouldn't buy a complete kit myself I know many would, and all the 
more the merrier!
