re: Vader’s Model Desk: Carro Armato M13/40

Be careful with Revell. Some of their kits are good. But some are downright garbage. It’s mostly their older kits you have to worry about. They have parts that have to be trimmed and sanded to make them fit. Sometimes you’ll find warped parts. And even with trimming and sanding there is almost always parts that do not fit right.

Good job, Vader.

Awesome looking as usual. Have you done any of the tanks from WW1?

I haven’t. But I’d like to. Not many manufacturers make a kit for WWI tanks and those that do want crazy money for them. WWI aircraft kits are plentiful though. But all the wires are a pain in the arse so I’ve only ever built one. And it got broke about 15 years ago when we had company over and they didn’t watch their 2 year old. That little shite took out at least a dozen models

One of my childhood friends had a Tobruk board game, and the only thing I remember about the game is that the Italian tank was called “The Flaming Coffin”.

I recommend going with a Tamiya.

I have a couple of Tamiya RC cars I built from kits and painted. Nice quality builds.

Thanks. I accidentally broke that bracket and did some improvising.

What a dumbass

Great work, per usual.

Looks like a real tank! Doesn't look like a model.

What is your opinion of Monogram?

Revell and Monogram were almost the only choices when I was a kid. I was in high school or college when I saw my first Tamiya kit.
