Yesterday I received the Tankmania Pathand Radar. What a superb kit!! The casting is flawless!! Following Pawel's build logs, it is incredible how fast he works and the superb end result achieved.
I also have the SA8 Gecko and SA4. Having built those two kits, I know the pathand will build up superbly!!
Additionally, I won the Pathand in a competition that Pawel posted on line. I have to put Tankmania at the top of my list for manufacturers! He dares to make kits of complex subjects, they are superbly cast and packaged, his customer service is outstanding and he is a true gentleman!!
All I can say is keep 'em coming Pawel.
Best regards
Ian Garnett (a devoted Tankmania Fan!!)

I completely agree. Pawel keeps modeling of Modern Russian vehicles fun. Too often the kit never lives up to the "dream" but I am seriously impressed with his work. I will definately buy 2 of every kit he makes.

The errors are small scale models, but which one has no ...
Fact: this is the set of all the casting, and most other respects, the stock could be better!
If you really care about all the work, you can buy the Choroszy Modelbud KS-12 85mm anti-aircraft guns as well!
Good price, although many of the burr, and you should replace the tube with a 85mm Armo T-34 machined metal tube.
I think I'm building another one.
I also know that it also worked in the Tunguska 5Star Armo and ZSU-57-2 scale models as well.
I'm working on air defense, and what he has produced, both in price and quality of the individual market!
Ian, good construction and lots of fun in the pool!

Almost done ...
Markings, stencils are up.
Only the signal corps, and the page number is wrong, a layer of gloss and matt finish, with some tiny dust ...
Szolnok, Hungary will be there!

Congrats Pawel, you are very lucky and rich. Get ready for a long building/rebuilding process. I have 3 of them, and they just get more expensive to update as time goes on!

Congratulations on your new kit. I got one of those myself a few years back. The smaller they are the more fun they are. On a side note, where can I get some of your kits?

Sorry, I use the Google translator.
Nothing bad, I did not want to write roughly.
The point is: that 18-20 years from now (when the child becomes old enough), will surely be someone who will marry (I wanted to write that sold, for sale).
I hope it is understandable.
Przykro mi, ale korzystać z Google tłumacz.
Nic złego, nie chciałem pisać w przybliżeniu.
Chodzi o to, że 18-20 lat od teraz (kiedy dziecko staje się na tyle stary), na pewno będzie ktoś, kto wyjdzie za mąż (chciałem napisać, że sprzedawane na sprzedaż).
Mam nadzieję, że to jest zrozumiałe.

It's all good. I am heavily medicated and didn't understand the humor in it at first. My bad. Sorry.
