Forgot to add the Jagdpanther to my short list of possible builds.

Okay, so I'm done toying with the idea of
doing a prototype jdpz E-10 and on to other ideas. I really like
the Soviet SU-85 or SU-100 variants of the basic T-34 hull. I
also really like the Jagdpanzer IV/48 and IV/70.
I've borrowed unbuilt plastic model kits of
the Su-85 and the jdpz IV/70 from my brother in order to make templates
of one of them for scaling up to the 1/6th scale size. I'd like to
know if any of the group here has experience with the James DeSimone
kits? They certainly are inexpensive relative to other offerings
but I'm leery of purchasing an unknown. I've email him a short
list of questions but his replies don't really satisfy my need of
information. I found this site http://kanowarrior.tripod.com/actionfiguresatwar/id64.html which
is an SU-85 conversion of the hull. The T-34 is $125 shipped
from California. I need to know if anyone has seen one before and
if you think that it will withstand the rigors of battle. We don't
build static GI Joe diorama models here do we? All in all though,
the one presented here is quite nice looking.
Thanks,
Mike |
