Up-date.. I did find some reviews by just doing a yahoo search and there are some excellent ones!

I looked under Meng reviews on this site but I didn't see any for the MENG 2000 self-propelled Howitzer but I'll check again!

Re: The AFV Club M41 Walker Bulldog. I've built it before and I really liked. Next chance I get I'm buying another one. People do say that the AFV Club is the same as the Skybow kit but I'm not sure of that. I can't comment on the accuracy either. All I can say is that it is a very good kit with fine details. The 2 kits are of a German (Bundeswehre) tank and a M41a3.

Ok Pete I will but I ended up with more than 6 sorry I couldn't help myself..lol.

Well Dennis I'm 52 and have been modeling all my life! In all those years though I just never ventured into the AFV genre. I spent a good deal of my time when my boy's were younger building 1/4 and 1/3 scale RC airplanes but in the last say 15 years I've been pursuing my passion for building Ships of the Line or Man of War from the period of 1700's to the 1850's as some were called. These are wooden ships encompassing 1-5 years per build, I simply love building these ships because it is what I consider to be the pinnacle of (MY)modeling skills and abilities! It is very challenging and it takes a wide skill set to be successful!

It also takes a pretty large shop + equipment to pursue this ship building hobby and unfortunately I don't have that shop anymore but that is something I'm working on remedying in the near future, So because of my limited space that I now find myself in I've decided to jump into building Armored vehicles and weathering and dioramas. I'm also in pursuit of learning how to paint figures,military but other subjects as well.

So thats where I'm at for the moment and totally jacked up to dive into this field of modeling. It is also going to force this old man into learning how to use an Airbrush which I've never needed in my other pursuits! Lucky ME! Can't wait!!

Thanks Bill! I'll check those companies out!

Hey Gerald.. thats good to know!! I do like the looks of some of the smart kits like Dragon: Sherman 111 DV early production smart kit 1/35. I mentioned the Dragon: T-28 Super Heavy Tank Smart-Kit but Jasper commented that I might be better off looking at there Panthers because of accuracy issues!

I'm not to impressed with what I see being offered in WWII US armor out their, I put up a few that I've found but most seem to be lacking in quality or maybe I'm just finding out that the Patton M4 like tanks are just boring subjects to begin with, I don't know I have to look around some more.
