A nice looking kit. I am very tempted to buy another, and source a cheap Stug III for its coupla, so I can convert the Ferdinand to an Elephant.
And, below, in company with a (very old, early 1980s) Esci Marder:
Just look at the size difference. The Czech arms industry was certainly a major asset for the Germans, and one that was pretty much out of reach of Allied air attack for most of the war.
An interesting conundrum - cheap, quick, straightforward, and plenty of them, or big, complicated, and few of them ?
Would an Airfix Stug be of any use?
ReplyDeleteIndeed it would. And should you have a spare one going, I will gladly rescue it from your clutches - for I have seen your new post, you apostate!

DeleteWill do, old man.
DeleteAh, as one horrible little man once said, "Quantity has a quality all its own." :-)
ReplyDeleteNice work.
Yes. Indeed. And Uncle might have been right back then (unless you were one of the many millions who died because of it), but does it still apply now, I wonder? For example, the current issue about $1 billion aircraft for the Royal Navy's new carriers. Is $1 billion apiece too much? Would it be better to have more, but less sophisticated? I don't know.
DeleteTerrific job on this humongous beast Stephen. I do think you should get onto another one ASAP.
ReplyDeleteIt looks quite the thing - I'll definitely go for another.
