Title: Model collect

Just seen these two on Luck models news letter, nice looking kits and not badly priced either. Think I will be having a T90 or two.

Most interesting!  :o Thanks for the heads-up!  :thumbsup:

"Henk of Holland" has further info (LINK (http://henk.fox3000.com/modelcollect.htm)). They certainly look the part!  :thumbsup:

After looking at the links you put up Moritz, I think a rocket launcher will be had too, they look quite good kits really.

I had never seen the flame thrower before. I had to look to up on the net to see if it was real or from a game! Interesting subjects.

I have ordered one of each of these so I will let you all know what the kits are like when they arrive. I am hoping that it goes together better than the ACE offering, as I have built too many of their kits to know better than to buy their T-90.

I got my kits of these two pieces of armour on friday and was quite surprised when looking through the parts sprues t find the lower hull wrapped in bubble wrap on them both, and they felt quite heavy. I initially thought they were resin pieces but was surprised to find them being made from what looks like to me, die cast metal. The detail on them is excellent too. The moulding of the styrene parts is quite good too and I consider them very good value for money.

I think Tamiya does the lower hulls for their 1:48 armour in die-cast, so it makes sense.

Modelcollect's Facebook page (LINK! (https://www.facebook.com/Modelcollect)) has a lot of CAD renderings of upcoming interesting stuff in 1/72! Interesting if you're interested in Soviet/Russian armour, that is. Apart from just about all marks of MBTs (T-55/62/64/72/80/90 -   :o), they also plan to release a Scud!  :thumbsup:

Now that is an old joke.   I used to hear on the rifle range back in the 1980s and it was old then!  :lol: :lol:

Old jokes are good jokes! That's why I tell them to kids when ever I get the chance. New audience all the time.
