    These look very similar to the plastic soldier kits, mainly aimed at wargamers.
    The plastic soldier kits cost more, but the one I bought for the valentine had crew options and 3 versions, so I built one of each.
    It pretty much proves how expensive decals are in relative terms.

    I have all their Sherman variants. A bit of cleaning up, and a good paint job, and you'd never know how basic the kits actually are. I used a lot as the basis of 79th Armoured Division 'Hobart's Funnies', as used on D-Day. Crabs, recovery vehicles, DD Tanks, Kangaroos, and a BARV.
    The Armourfast Achilles and Cromwell, are excellent, too. These kits used to be made by HÄT, who also still make two different versions of the Renault FT-17 tank. That's a fun little build.

    These are really simple kits, but are useful for young modelers to start the hobby. Naturally you've to find the decals and (eventually) some figures, but this shouldn 't be a problem, Orion makes some excellent 1/72 tankers of various WWII armies.

    These are designed for wargaming (they even have their own rules called Tanks! Which are simple and great fun to play). I got the opportunity to paint up the test sprues for the Sherman 105, Sherman II 17 pounder, StuG and PzIII. I have a few in my collection, they build up fast and are great wee ‘quick win’ kits. Can’t wait to se e you bio.d this one, they are also great for trying out painting techniques and weathering!

    @calessel3139 Před rokem +2

    FYI- I believe the Armour Fast kits were created for table top gaming where things like detail and separate tracks & wheels aren't really necessary for gaming purposes. The kits are just accurate enough to represent the vehicle in the game. Furthermore, the simplicity of the kits allow players, who may not be modelers, easy quick assembly. It's also why they're so cheap and you get two in a box!

    Built a few of these wargaming kits, (Armourfast, S-model, PSC, etc).
    Details are a bit simple, especially things like tracks, but very nice if you're interested in modelling different variants or camouflage schemes for an inexpensive price.

  • @sweetcorn1968
    @sweetcorn1968 Před rokem +1

    These are the type of kit that I love. I currently have 3 Spitfires, a Hurricane and an X-Wing fighter hanging over my pond in the garden and these would be great lurking in the grass around the pond. They’re cheap, which is great, and while they may not be the most detailed or accurate models, they’re ideal for me to throw together, slap a bit of paint and clear coat on and leave out in the garden to weather naturally while providing something unusual for a garden pond.
    There was a Dambusters Lancaster but that had been there for 3 years and took a nosedive into the pond recently

    I’ve made a load of these for Wargaming and they scrub up well. You need aftermarket decals (Aleran from the US - cheap postage too). I scrounged some metal auxiliary fuel tanks from S&S models to finish them off.

  • @davidbrigenshaw8721
    @davidbrigenshaw8721 Před rokem +1

    I've found these kits really good to practice my painting and weathering skills on. I've built several each of the Crusader, Sherman, M10 and Panzer III and with a bit of detailing and added tools, stowage etc. they make up into quite neat models. I don't find the lack of decals an issue as I have plenty of spares left over from other, more expensive kits!
