Modelcollect has already released a wide range of German Heer '46 tank models in 1:72, and now they seem to try a more SF/mecha item:



Not 100% confirmed, but I am looking forward to it, even though it apperas quite stubby. Anyway, should be a a nice addition to the vintage Takara Dougram mecha, and generally offer a good basis for conversions.

Found here: https://scontent-frt3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/19575350_850872158401219_1105402332533933824_o.jpg?oh=3f775606e91fe96bbccd4437ae6a11b3&oe=59FF37A7

There's also the rumor running wild that a 1:72 Ratte is in the pipeline. Unconfirmed, too.  ;)

I've got a half ar5ed attempt at a walking Bren Gun Carrier on my shelf of doom.  It uses 1/144 Zaku legs.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Hmmm, the kit is on pre-order in a Hong Kong ebay shop ("ITEM WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT AT THE MID OF AUGUST 2017"):

The comments below the offer are funny...

Modelcollect seems to become serious with their 1:72 "Ratte" kit. It's on pre-order/online in their own catalogue, for USD 99 only...

I can't even get my brains around the practicalities of building that thing in a fully functioning economy, let alone the Reich in 1945, and as for operating it ???:o
Decals my @r$e!

Yeah, enough steel for dozens of tanks.;D

But, it does fit with the Nazi fetish for huge fantasies, their plans for a continuous wall
in the East bastioned by large, circular fortress cities, was nuts on a grand scale.

That'd be bigger than my car I reckon!  :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I don't like the box art. Looks ugly.  :angry: The Takom 1/144 scale P1000 had better box art.  :thumbsup:
Depending on the size of this new kit, I "might" use the main hull portion (minus turret) plus tracks as a starting point for when I eventually scratchbuild a Landkreuzer P1500 Monster.
Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.

It's utter and complete absurdity has a compelling beauty to it...

One thing I'd love to see that P1000 kit whiffed into would be some sort of sci-fi "land battleship".  Remove or modify the WWII era guns and put some different sci-fi type looking guns and systems on board.

I am sure you can certainly abuse/re-scale it into a 1:20 vehicle for the Ma.K. universe...

Just received note that my two "Vierfüßler" mecha kits have been dispatched in Japan. Looking forward to them!
