Good day all
Yesterday I was skimming Russian Blogs looking for pictures for a build I am doing and I came across a model web site in Russia selling kits from various companys that we all know and they had a Roe Models 1/35 c-300b 9a82 roe models kit, I made the mistake of not book marking it and now I can not find it and also there is very little on Roe Models. I will try today to back step and see if I can find it, but no luck so far
Thanks
all
Jim

Jim

Here is a picture all, I cant find a price yet, but this would be a beast in 1/35 got to have it......

ROE Models has already moved production model indefinitely.
The first model - TOR-M1, promised to release in the summer, but there is still no news.
C-300V promised Pawel tank-mania.

All Shoot, Oh well back to the 1RL243 Rubikon

I hope that this kit will be accurate in dimensions and proportions in comparison to Tank Mania kits. I´ve heard from lot of "hard core" modelers and former East German military officers building East German stuff, that kits from Tank Mania, especially the 2S3 Akacija and Sa-8 Gecko are underscaled, more 1/40 than 1/35, so lot of them are selling their kits on Ebay lately and aren´t happy about this fact.

I hope this won´t happen to Roe Models, because if the kit is gonna be released it probably will cost some 200-300 €.

I built the SA-8 and it built into a nice kit, though I didn't measure the parts, I guess I am not hard core and count the nuts and bolts the Akatsiya I have but havent built yet. Is any kit going to be 100% accurate? I have yet to see one. so you work with what you have. The kit I am building right now, I will have to make parts for it, but whan done it will look nice in my model case.

Hi Jim,

I am not hard core, too. 95% of my models are built right out of the box. I only heard these things about the Akacija and SA-8 Gecko kits. Maybe it´s true. Who really knows? I think nobody is crazy enough to run around and measure everything with calipers, only if he´s bored of life.

I ment no disrespect with the last email, I ran into this problem when I was into modelrail roading, I watched a guy at the hobby store counting the rivits on a boiler of a steam engine, it was not right so he did not buy it, on another web site a boy mabey 12 years old had posted his first tank build and he had hand painted it, he was proud of his build, then a couple of guys replyed and tore up his build, the boy never posted again, and I suspect he never built another model. Thats why I build for fun and the nut and bolt counters I ignore

Hi Jim,

I share your opinion definitely.
