Ha, ha!! Let the "serious" modellers blow a gasket!

Personally, I love these "Egg" kits. They're a fun and quick build. They're great to get kids involved (which the next visit of my Grandson will prove) in building models. They're rather inexpensive. You CAN go nuts on finishing one of these; I've seen a few with really impressive weathering.

To me, they're a nice quick break from any of the regular kits I build.

Buy one, try it. You'll like 'em.

seriously awesome.

I like these tanks because you don't have to take them seriously. The fun factor is definitely high! I got the Sherman and Tiger I from HobbyEasy for $5 each. I'm looking forward to just building and painting them and not stressing about superdetailing, weathering, accuracy, etc. They are a fun, refreshing break.

And here I am thinking about converting the Pzkpfw III to an earlier version...

My daughter thinks that they're "cute". 'nuff said.

Interesting how a piece of plastic in 35th scale becoming smaller becomes a child like toy, but same vehicle in 72nd scale isnt?

It's not just making it smaller, but distorting it in the process -- the shrinkage mimics the appearance of infants by shrinking the turret less than the hull.

They are awesome,i built eith my 6 year old son the PLA MBT and was Super-fun,easy and you dont even need the glue if you dont want to,they are strong enaugh to be used as a proper toy,just the antenna went missing,i love it maybe even more then my son!...

Got to get one of each . All ready have the Tiger 1 and Sherman , plus the AFV KV II I got last year . It seems the road wheels on the Sherman are almost the same height and width of 1/35 Dragon Sherman road wheels , so into the parts box for a sprocket and Idler , and I think I have some left over tack somewhere as well , kit bash !

So if one was to attempt to label a scale to these bad boys, what do you think they'd be? 1/38, 1/40, 1/42.5? LOL

They're all over the place scale wise . I have the Sherman ,Tiger I and Tiger II . The Sherman turret hatch looks to be 1/35 in scale , but the whole tank is 3 inches long and 2 inches wide , you try and figure the scale out . I did add Academy 1/35 sprocket , idler , road wheels and Dragon Sherman track to give it a little more scale look than the toy type wheels and track it came with . The Tiger I body is the width of the Tamiya 1/35 Tiger but half as long , The road wheels , while looking the part , are a little smaller as is the turret , but the commander's hatch fits a 1/35 figure , no problem . I added spare track , tools and Feifels from the parts box . The Tiger II tank is the same size as the Tamiya Henschel turret . No room for the driver hatches or a full engine deck on this kit and the wheels are toy like . Commander's hatch , maybe 1/48 , the whole kit is a mish mash of scales , that being said , I haven't had this much fun building stuff in a long time . I've seen the KV II , small like the Sherman , even worse wheels and track , I'm giving that one a pass . The AFV one is much better IMO

I kind of figured the scales would be all over, they are totally fun to build, I have a friend who wants to convert the Sherman into a Firefly, so that would look sweet!

I purchased two of the Sherman kits, for my niece and nephew's Christmas presents. They are always wanting to see what I am working on. Snap assembly. Then, teach them to paint... weather... scratchbuild.
