I have been drooling over all these 1/16 armor kits coming out.
The recently released Easy 8 looks really nice.
But dang, those kits are big and take up a lot of shelf space.

That is probably like a 1/35 Tiger Jokes aside, I wish you lots of modeling fun with it Tony. Saw it advertised at my online dealer.

I got a look at a built up Sherman last week, I can only imagine how much bigger the Tiger will be.

Not sure I ever want to build a model that instructions probably say "Step 32 - Climb inside hull and attach part 56 to part 57"

I have a 1/16 Wiesel and a Luchs. Won't go any bigger than that. Well, okay, also a Leopard 2, but that will be motorized, so it doesn't count.

Oh Tobi. Silly builder, don't you know that's where it all starts? We say I won't go bigger.....all of a sudden there's a 24th scale Typhoon hiding in your stash.....you my friend have already been bitten. The Luchs is " small" , the Weasel is " " small", yet somewhere deep inside that modellers mind floats the idea..." must go bigger".... be damned the shelf real estate I just buy a bigger house....oh how cool would a collection of big cats look perched upon my display case? yes Yes YES DESEND INTO MADDNESS LET FLOW THE FREEDOM FROM THE OPTIVISOR, bring forth the paint mixing account at you local hardware store. Yes YES YES my friend you have benn bitten🙂🙃🙂😉🫠

That is indeed a whopper. Somewhere out there is a glue and paint manufacturer about to become a Fortune 500 company because of these 1/16 behemoths.
