Hi! You may call me a beginner in armor and the first AFV I got is the SCUD. I'm up to large models in standard 1/35 scale. Now I'm saving to buy the German Karl ??? Mortar/ Gun (whatever it is). Are there other giant models in 1/35 scale like the SCUD and the Karl? Pics of the real thing and the box pics are helpful.
Thanks!

I recently finished the scud launcher as well, and all i can say is, if its your first kit, it only gets easier. This kit has the most clean up, fit problems, filling, etc that I have ever built. But it is probably my favorite now. Lovely model when complete! Have you built your yet? Any pics?
Two big kits in their own right are the famo and transporter trailer, and the dragon wagon and trailer. Huge kits and are both longer than the scud when finished. And both are as good as anything on the market!

if you dont want 2 sand or fill or someth

My SCUD is about 30-45% complete. Had no time to do it cause classes is ongoing (I'm first year college) and second, my canned air source for the Airbrush has been depleted. Once I'm ok, I'll finish it out. Anyways, the main problems are fit. Some of the parts had been sanded off for it to fit. Only the minor parts should be done like the accessories on the Launcher and lastly the painting of the outer part.

Hoo wee! Just love it! I like large AFV's! I wish it has a good fit, clean-up and finely engraved panel lines. And the best thing it has is the crew! Unlike the SCUD, I think this will be a little bit easier (if not for the fit that is)

Are those stolen shots ( shots taken without permission) or are they allowing photo of it?

They allow Photographs. They just don't allow climbing on the vehicles. (I'm sure it's for Insurance and or Lawsuit reasons)
