I got one of these from evil-bay at a more than acceptable price.

As it comes with a stand I am tempted to build it landing as in the box art.  To my mind it looks like its swooping down on some prey.

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

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

My thoughts exactly  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I think you should change it's wheels for claws and paint it to look like a heron, and put a plastic roach or frog in its nose cone.  :wacko:

have a good dig throw old 2000 ADs  there is a story involving near animal robot / AIs that has a predator that looks very close ( cant remember the name of this one), as well as the Nemesis the Warlock story where the black hole  /white hole bypass near earth goes bonkers and starts leaking time / alternate reality horrors and one turns up in that
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances.

It may be one of the much later ABC Warriors stories.

The Trumpeter Swedish S-tank in 1/35 has arrived. I'm still waiting for the Stryker kit. There will be much bashing of kits after that.

A box from Kingkit just arrived full of many, many aftermarket bits for future builds. Too varied to list, but lets just say I typed in the names of the main players and swiped everything that appeared in the search that I needed. Plus a few things I may not!

In the mail today .. A 35th pile of 40mm Bofors AA gun sitting on one turret ..yep the ZimiModel quad Bofors turned and and the plan hasn't changed for it but i'm glad i have an Italeri Bofors for parts because i'm going to need em ..also i need to find a cheap large amount of 40mm Bofors ammo as this kit comes with a total of 12 clips and expects you to buy the metal edition set or sets as i've no idea how many is in it but if you look at the gun tub ,,there's a fecking lot of em  :o
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

The "cheap" bit will get down to perception. I have this set, there is a lot of boxes and some number of clips


have to say, I saw this Zimi Bofors kit (or kitset for our NZ cousins  ;D ) in a close by LHS for $80 AUD and was tempted. BNA have them cheaper, but postage gets to the same price.
