we could also use a Joint Assault Bridge and a M104 Wolverine


The sad thing is, at this point, most of us will use the "hide user" option at this point. That is a shame as most, like me, do modern and allied stuff as well. Now there are a dozen or so people that will never see your future questions and you'll be missing out on advice and help which is the point of this website. See ya in the funny papers.

I don't personally mind if someone mentions a want of theirs as I did it often enough about wanting a Bergepanther -and see it worked! So knock yourselves out but be polite about it.

To be fair the Bergepanther requests were at least related to the thread as they were usually Panther announcements; this is rational and normal - just like as if a Renault UE thread may ask for an armoured MG version. Totally understandable. But to specifically seek out EVERY recent axis announcememt and whine about unrelated cold war or modern vehicles is petulant and childish. Now, every time an axis item is announced he hijacks the thread and knocks it off course in an "e-tantrum".

I had to use the "hide user" button to stop seeing the annoying posts.
Anyhow, the million dollar question everyone is asking now is: when is Takom going to release this kit? Any ideas?

James

Hopefully before then as the wait will seem forever! Oh well, it's not like there's nothing else waiting to be built...

Both a D and an A... oh for Pete's sake, how am I going to hide 2 new kits from SWMBO...!!!

Now we have to hear a whine about an M88A2 Hercules and something else too....

....although I would like a M88A2 Australian version.... just the Aussie version, no need for another, no one wants that oops....

Hey, at least there's one less thing to hear whining about!
Thank you, Takom.

Finally, a model maker who paid attention to, what the builders want! What to do with the TMD Kit? Keep it as a reserve.


Over at ML, Joe Bakanovic of TMD has confirmed that Takom has sought their assistance on this one, as well as supplying them with a copy of the TMD conversion set. Looks like Takom has exerted efforts to get this one to be a winner.


I too bought the TMD conversion set,I think back in 2000,Gem of a kit. I never progressed with the building. Still in the stash. It's nice to see a kit complete OOB.A review and observations, I'll be looking forward to.Must add to purchase list.
