I want to build a "Large Scale" Sherman & need advice...................

Post by JimJ »

I want to build a Large Scale Sherman tank, and need advice as to where to get the best kit for the least money :)

I would prefer to build either 1:25 (or) 1:16 scale............I realize the "Tamiya" 1:16 scale kit is probably the best place to start, but that kit is WAY out of my budget :(

I'm seeking advice as to the availability of other kits that may not be as expensive....................

I don't know of any 1/25 scale kits off the top of my head and a quick search didn't show any ether.
1/16th are more common, but they're all $300-500 depending on where you shop and what kit you want.
I don't think that you'll find anything cheaper.
I can certainly understand the draw to do it... After doing the searches now I want one.

I was afraid that might be the case :(
