I'm in, count me as your first member. I will commit a crime and say that I wish DML would give the choice of indy tracks or rubberbands!!!

That looks pretty sweet!

It looks like I'll be backsliding from my self-imposed allied only purchasing habits. Some of the latest Dragon kits have tempted me, but this one will push me over the edge

I think that I buy it.

It's very nice kit. I build and scratchbuild Italeri kit with "conversion kit" "azimut" it's a job very "mad". I don't finish dio.

The base is at construction and figs to the paint.

WOW, now all I have to do is wait for it to hit the shelves.
I am so pleased that I found out that the 'new' tamiya one is Italeri with some fuel drums before I parted with some hard earned cash.

Hopefully the turreted version wont be far behind.

Oh man, another one for the list. Wonder if the wheels can be positioned into a turn straight from the kit?

There's one sure cure for the track problems folks, It's called. Fruilmodel. Absolutely guaranteed to cure, one time, all the time. Of course it tends to work on the wallet.

Take care, Larry

This is definately on the must have list!! I have the old Italery kit that I planned on building, but now I'm not sure what to do with it. Anyone want to make a trade?? If so, send me a pm.

The hard on the wallet bit gets me sometimes. Everytime I walk into the house with a new kit I get the "death stare" from SWMBO. Then she goes out and buys a new pair of shoes-guess that makes us even.
I have the upmost respect for people that can put indys together. Almost every time I try them it looks like the tank hit a landmine.

It's a beaut, right enough. I might have to get my hands on one later, when I've got my modelling-fu improved a few notches.
