My other tanks are 1:35 too(mostly self assembled model kit and 3 Minichamps) and about eight 1:72s. This is my first 1:32 but it is also my first big scale WWII tank. So I guess if I keep the scale to WWII tanks I'll be alright.

I just couldn't resist the twisting metal skirt and the mud and the exhaust rust. It's what a workhorse tank should look like. Ugly, dirty and bent than pristine. You can actually see some indentation on the turret skirt to portray bounced small caliber shell marks. Even some metal patches to fix previous large caliber shell penetrations(holes) on the turret skirt.

Tamiya are a model company and 1/35 was my favourite scale as well as 1/700 waterline series IJN ships and subs.

Yeah I know they are a model kit maker company but they also sell their ready made kit line called masterwork series. It's already pre-built by Tamiya's pro-modeler and though they look good they cost a fortune. For a tank I don't think they are worth the price but for bigger models like Battleships they really do look pretty and may be well worth the price.

Ah, right...I'd forgotten about those.

What sort of prices do they command?

Ah I don't know how much they fetch outside but here a 1:35 Tamiya masterwork tank would set you back about 500 bucks.

I can't imagine how much the Battleships would cost.

But I guess some people may do spend 500 bucks for the entire evening with his friends. . . . .If so no wonder he or she got friends
You can spend from 15 bucks to anything going out I mean.

The Panzer IV now is all alone in the cabinet. I hope I can find the Pershing.

Sorry for the figure clutter
