Got a pair of those one bladed nippers. Figured I better get some since I've been doing a lot of Gundam lately.

Ok chaps....normal service has been resumed albeit with a bit of a twist!! ACW as usual! Andrew -------------------------------------------------- First up masks for the recent wingy purchases! The washers are for my next run of in-flight magnetically attached planes. Now this next one is a real departure. I first came across the T-10 in the early 80s, in a late 1970s board wargame called Arab Israeli Wars by the now defunct company Avalon Hill, which started me down the wargaming route and of course are the last in the line of Soviet Heavies. I was following one on a Facebook Auction site but missed it, as I had to pop out. It went for only £32 delivered…..the cheapest delivered new I can find is £65….so half price.....gutted was I. Then another one popped up a few days later on Fleabay for a very good price. I had a closer look and saw the list of AM parts it came with it....and thought it would be rude not to. By my reckoning the kit and AM parts would have cost around £150 brand new combined......by contrast I only paid £47 for the lot....and that would still have been a very good price for the kit on its own. So if I decide not use all the AM parts, I could make a lot of back selling it second hand! Nice haul! “Rude not to” is how I decide on all my modeling purchases. lol!

I bought this as it was cheap. ( under £100 GBP) I have been looking at a Tamiya version but they are silly money now although with the Meng and Italeri version out the prices are falling There is a detail up set on the horizon for this kit , due out early November so i will wait and see what that involves and the cost before starting this.

Funny, I found the Tamiya Kit for $40 USD but the Meng Kit is over $220 anywhere near me. Do you plan to build this anytime soon? arcticwolf just started this also.

I've got my eye on one of these. Hope that Meng quality is on par if not surpassing Tamiya....pretty hi bar however Tamiya large kits contain a few minor bugaboos I'm interested in seeing how Meng does.

By all accounts the Meng lacks fine detail but that can always be added. I built the Tamiya version years ago and that also need detail added to look anything with the covers off project 510, dont be confused by the different scales and pricing. Tamiya do this in an almost identical box in 1/12 and 1/20.... Meng do it in 1/24 and 1/12
It would be very easy to spend x2 or x3 on either kit with detail up parts for example the Top studio detail kit is another £400.00, the engine detail up kit for Tamiya is more than the complete Meng kit alone. This is why i will build this after November 6th when the Spot model detail up kit is released and see what included and the price
