Hi all,
Some pics of my Tamiya Tusk and Paladin.Got them at the same time and built one after the other.No weathering exept for a little pigment.I personally found both to be rather overpriced.

Hello Tom,
both kits look cool, but to be honest they are rather
clean.
You´re also right about the price range, I saw the Tusk
yesterday at at model show in Germany, it´s going for 65 - 70€ (84- 90$) And I have fallen into the Palladin trap and paid 47€ ( 61$ ) for the old Italeri kit, that Tamiya has simply reboxed (2012).
The Kits still look cool though, just get some dirt in there

Hey Paul,
Yes the dirt and weathering will come when I use them in a dio.Yor very right,the Pallidin is just an old kit with a new sprue.the figures are far from good and the added instructions even show the bussell racks backwards.
Just a cash grab from Tamiya as I'm concerned.
