Hi guys, today in Italy it's father's day and I've received 50 euro to spend in modeling stuff.
Given I'm not really interested in other things than 1/35 armor, and german WW2 stuff is something I don't usually build, what would you suggest?
I was thinking about some Trumpeter or Tamiya russian stuff, like Kv-2 Big Turret, KV-1 Ehkranami, BT-7 or even T-55, but I could even consider modern stuff. All I wish is an almost shake'n'bake kit as the YA has been quite a challenge and the T-28 I will build next is going to be probably tougher.
What would you suggest?

Really like those BT-7 kits... you can't go wrong with those small German Panzer I and IIs from Dragon!  Haven't seen those built here at MSC for a while... |

Hey brother Luigi, I stepped out of my comfort zone when i did my T-62 and i thoroughly enjoyed it and i want to do even more. The Trumpeter KV-1 Ehkranami kit is supposed to be one helluva fine kit and though ive not built it myself, my nephew has and he says is one of the best and funnest kits hes built to date. That BT-7 seems a sweet kit too. DANGIT....so many choices!!!  Gary |

Thanks for adding wood to the fire of my confusion  Gary, Trupmy's T-62 is luring me, I may consider doing a T-62 during the invasion of Czechoslovakia, or a Syrian one during the arab-israeli wars, or an Iraqi one... Andy, Pz I are something I'll build in the future, but I can't think of them as a shake'n'bake kit, so many little parts and details would lead to a loooong project... Tojo the JSU 152 is something I'll build, but I don't want to build the same thing as Tony at the same time... |

T-62 has so many options and offers such a wide range of finishes, I'd go for that  |

Ok, I made up my mind. It'll be Trumpeter T-62 with some civilian figures or from MiniArt range (that I already know) or from Preiser. Does anybody know how good are Preiser figs in 1/35?

Guess I'm too late eh. I was gonna say the KV kits from Trumpy. They are cheap and you can get two for the price of a new release kit. I have about 4 or 5 in the stash. A bit of PE screening, maybe new tracks and you have a great model that is quick and easy to build. Best thing is that they are perfect for weathering.
The T-62 or 152 are also great great kits.

That's absolutely true, they are great kits at a very low price. But I saw a pic of a T-62 that inspired me and I can't help it  |
