Oh my... I never expected that I'll get this kit. I'm so sorry... I can't resist it. It's so beautiful... so powerful... just like what a tank should be, yet it's not a Sherman...
Good thing you have four Sherman 'cause it will probably take all four of 'em to stop that monster...

The Porsche version is somewehere between Hong Kong and my place at the moment... guess my Marder I will start feeling really small (it already does compared to the Jagdpanther).

I think your Sherman's are in BIG trouble. I heard the best ratio was 5 to one. Due to ranging the KT would be able to get three of the SHermans as they were circling the KT . Do to the slowness of the turret turning mechanism the KT would have ony been able to get one of the other Shermas coming up from the rear side and the last one on the other erar side would have been able to get a shot in to hit the engine area

Have fun with the kit. I just finished the build up of it and its waiting for paint. It goes together great, no snags in the build for me at least. Post some pics when you get started.

That's why in my sig line it says I need to build a total of 55 Shermans because I have built 5 German tanks. However I am beginning to debate whether a Flakpanzer can really count because I'm fairly certain that Flakpanzer vs Sherman would be a much more even fight

Shame on you...Please turn in your official Sherman Fan Club membership card and secret decoder ring.
It looks like a nice kit. I've thought about picking up some German armor. I think the King Tiger and the Elephant are my favorites....and the Panzer IV D with the short barrel.
Have fun! Steve
