Picked this kit up at Hobby Lobby the other day. Couldn’t pass it up with the usual online 40% discount coupon. Came out to about $11 USD. Although not the usual 1/56th – 28mm size, all my other AFV’s are either 1/50th (Corgi) or 1/48th (Tamiya and other diecast). I managed to get most of the kit done in under 2 hours. The major effort was spent getting the wheels on – still not hard though. In fact, the wheels can spin if you use the glue sparingly on the end caps.

Some filler putty was used around the seams on the turret. This kit is a tad larger than the Tamiya 1/48th Pershing I already have. I’ll post some comparison pics later once it’s done – along with some 28mm figures. Granted this isn’t the scale a lot of folks use for gaming, but as I don’t intend to pick up a Korean War force anytime soon, it’ll be mainly a display piece.

Speaking of Korean War, I hope to paint it up with the „tiger“ markings as many of these were – not the least the 6th Medium Tank Battalion attached to the 24th Infantry Division. That’s them below:

Anyway this is just a mini-project while awaiting the arrival of the 6-bottle Vallejo WW2 Desert British & German set I ordered off of ebay.
