I've reviewed a couple of Goffy Model's update sets for Braille scale modern armor.

Sandbag armor set for a Vietnam era M48 Patton tank: M48 sandbag armor set for Italeri (ex-Esci) M48A2/A3.



The Blazer armor set for an IDF M60A1 tank: Goffy Model Magach 6b for the Revell M60A3.



I'm anxious to do a dual build using the Legends M48 sandbag set and the Goffy Model sandbag set.

Rob:

Thanks for the review on the Goffy products. I am anxious to try both. My only question is where do we purchase Goffy items in the US? Ay help would be appreciated. I intend to use the improved wheels for the M48 first. Just one comment about the M48 set. It looks very nice but I don’t remember any 48’s with two 50 cal. MG’s in the tank commander position. At least not in Marine Corps service in late 1965.

There isn't a US distributor that I am aware of. I believe you have to go through the distributors in the UK like Modelmex.

As far as the .50s go, the cupola one looks to be of limited use (can't traverse the cupola) and the builder probably stuck the kit supplied barrel into the hole, but it would probably be correct with out it.

Actually Modelimex is a Czech online store and recommended by Goffy as their main retailer for international customers. http://www.modelimex.com
