Title: Takom St.Chamond tank in 1/35 scale!
Post by: BLOWHARD on December 31, 2013, 05:17:42 AM

I just saw the post about the Char 2c New Meng Kit here so this must be the place to post this.
More on a WW1 topic than the 2C, Takom's St.Chamond tank in 1/35 scale!  The kit parts look BEAUTIFUL as expected from this top shelf kit company.

Take a look at this review here-

I just HAVE to have one of these!  I hope to see more WW1 kits to follow  :D

Thanks for this news Dave. As well as WWI, I have an interest in steampunk so this kit scores twice!
Cheers
James

That looks very nice indeed...here are a couple more I found, in 1:72...

I may have to stump up for these 2 despite already having the Airfix offerings in my stash...

Nice looking 1/72 kit too!  I'm going to hold out hope for a whole range of 1/35 scale WW1 tanks...someday :)

Cheers Dave, I'm hoping this thread turns into a build log... looks like a cool kit.

Hello all
Just seen the kit boxes in the window of my local model shop. It looks mighty impressive but the price tag here is just a fraction under 60 euros.

Best wishes
