Girls und Panzer

Girls und Panzer featuring an IJA Type 3 Chi-Nu

by: Jim Starkweather [ STAFF_JIM ]

SUMMARY
Highs: It's certainly unique even if you opt not to do it as a girl's high school tank class panzer. Lows: I saw some minor production quality issues. Also the cost will likely put off some modelers. Verdict: If you love the show it's an insta-buy! If you are a Japanese tank lover you'll probably enjoy it too.

The armor part is very interesting. I don't care for the school girl association but the kit detail looks quite good. Thanks for the review.

Nice review. Definitely a good kit along with their Type 89. It's a shame that the 'Cyber-Hobby' tanks in the Girls und Panzer range are just repackaged kits with a higher cost; most of them don't even resemble that in the show.
