Talk about large turrets! It might well have been a formidable tank and its got to be better than such monstrosities as the Maus or the Tortoise, etc. Guess it came down to what the other side was building at that moment, and what they'd be fronting in the future.

I think I'll wait for Tacom. i like their kits better. I had a horrible experience with a HobbyBoss plane kit.

Which of their kits did you have a bad experience with exactly?

Just out of curiosity, how many HB armor models have you built?

Hobbyboss=non-fitting LTL tracks on nearly all their kits. That's the biggest fault I have with them in my experience.

I for one consider Takom's plastic one of the ugliest of the "modern" kits.
No matter about HB tracks, I use almost always AM ones.
