It's already for sale for US$ 73



$73??? WOW, now that's insane. Shush, I can buy two of them kits with that money. I think they might have over done it this time. Although as some here pointed out, there will be those who will buy it. Oh well, more power to them and good luck (cause you're really going to need it with this beast)

Would be a fun challange to build. Not sure its worth the scratch, but if one appeared on my door step I would give it a go!



Oh definitly, I would do it if someone dropped it on my doorstep. Just not willing to open my wallet for this one

This may sound odd and be a waste of money but I (being a ) would get it if I wanted to do a damaged or destroyed half-track. The PE bends and twists like metal because...its metal and this in turn allows a person to model a good representation of damage. I know,I know..its a lot of money to "destroy" but if you can afford it,well...Heres to PE!!!

Personally, I think it's impressive as heck! And that's using proper etiquette! Modeler’s have been squawking for years about detail levels out of plastic kits and wanting detail AM stuff; now a company has “grabbed the cat by the tail” and produced, and we’re squawking about all the shininess!

Touche! I think it’s sweet. Thank you LionRoar for having the “brass” to produce some very serious brass! You got my kudos’!

If we wait long enough somebody will do some aftermarket kits for the front wheel/tire, the frame, the running gear and tracks and anything else that we can think of including the tailpipe bracket. We mate all of that with the PE and viola, a new kit-bash-thingy. And we'll all still be able to build the original kit OOB.

Too anal retentive for me but I could change my mind and buy this monster set. Be a shame to paint it. Shiney.

You mean there isn't a $90 tool to do a proper tire bulge for this kit?
Cheers for a brass band!
