Nicely chosen.
I've often wondered... Without workable tracks and suspension, what do you suppose the weights are for?
Hey Coen,
I've built many of Tamiya's 1/48 tanks and they pretty much all have some sort of metal weight too them- either Metal diecast lower hull, or metal plates like the ones above. Tamiya does this to add a weighty and heavy / sturdy feel. That is the only reason & I like it to be honest. A heavy model feels good in the hands
