Global Scale Modeller

Spotted these on my Hannants email this morning. Found them even cheaper on E-models. As they sponsor this site I thought it would be ok to highlight them. Well worth it given the prices

if I didn't have to cover contents insurance, car insurance and a gas bill - all due this month - I'd be on them like a rash

Same here but I just have gas and electric to pay next week plus my youngest daughter wants a laptop for Christmas so I have to buy that next week as well along with a graphics drawing tablet for my other daughters birthday but I have managed to sneak in an airfix 1/48 english electric lightning for myself which should turn up next week

Dammit, already got an su85 and just finished building a kv122, never mind.

These are really nice especially with the Magic Tracks. It's a shame I have the plastic already in other boxings. Plus the new Trumpeter KV-220 and SU-101 SPA need to be acquired so they can join all their brothers I already have in captivity.

I've never built any Russian stuff. These 2 beauties look like a good way to start. I'm trying to find some room in the budget for them. Perhaps I'll employ some Trump economics and see if I can get the Mexicans to pay for them!

November got even worse because I got an electricity bill on top of all the others!

BUT - all is not lost. I wrote a letter to Santa (I've been a good boy this year) and after making a list and checking it twice, they'll be on their way once the Fat Man in The Big Red Suit takes advantage of E-Models' Black Friday deals today.

I was looking at these yesterday, been looking at T54/55, 62's, 69's etc as well.

I've never made a Rusky AFV before but if I like these I may start looking at the more modern ones too. If there are similar releases out there like the WW2 offerings then they would be great buys.

I've always liked Russia armour, after all they made what is arguably the worlds first real operational tank with sloped armour, great chassis and good gun the T34. All be it it all existed elsewhere just not all on the same tank, if you look at post war designs they are pretty dam good.

Yes and gave the Germans a bit of a shock when first encountering them. Lucky for them the Ruskies weren't up to speed.
Even post war the allies were worried about the Russian tanks.
