Trumpeter responds with its version of this WWII-era paper panzer. Here we see what the kit has to offer.

At a first glanse seems that many parts are the same as the Amusing Hobby kit, the main difference I see are the tracks, vynil instead of workable links.

That is a pretty ugly looking tank but the gun is awesome. like the way Trumpeter is going for all those paper Panzers, not my field of interest, but awesome to look at.

Kind of meaningless to offer when there are still gaps in real AFVs to fill/update. Oh well...

And at only $25.55 at Hobbyeasy, you can make it pretty.

Maybe meaningless for you, but then again, the universe consists of one YOU and billions of NON-yous There might be quite a few who consider it worthy. Prost to them.

I built this kit this week in about 14 leisurely hours due to the outstanding fit and very little time spent with clean up.








It has several items missing that Amusing Hobby included in their kit but I think the Trumpeter kit is a little cheaper for that reason.

Looks good Tony, I didn't know that it comes with a figure. How do you plan to paint it? Yeah the the AH kit comes with link tracks so I guess that makes it a bit pricier. Cheers, Tat

Tat this was a build blog for Mega Hobby and I just placed the figure in there for scale.

I would like to build the Amusing Hobby Grille and compare the two.
