Re: HobbyBoss 1/16 T-34/85
Lovely - just watched it Lee, great review - big one isnt it?
Prices wise here in 'Straya, theres not much difference (about $20 more) between the HB and the Trumpeter full interior kit, I suspect mainly because of the shipping cost, although thats from only one supplier i found on enema bay - I notice the UK prices are hugely divergent especially at 35 quid!
Should be a great build Lee - and yes Coen is very inspirational - I hope to start my 1/16 HB Tiger very soon!

Re: HobbyBoss 1/16 T-34/85
no, but there was a chap selling the sprues for about $25 on ebay.com.au recently that I almost picked up, before knowing about the HB version. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1-16-TRUMPET ... 1489835879?Lee wrote:lol - Cheers bud...

Re: HobbyBoss 1/16 T-34/85
I would like to know where ( in the U.S. ) to find a metal gun barrel for this kit?? Wouldn't necessarily have a problem dealing with someone in the U.K. either, ( other than "Tank Zone" - had a issue with them ).
I've done a pretty extensive "Google" search, and unless I don't know where to look.............it seems my options are limited.
Jim J.
Failing that.......does anyone have a "trick" for making the plastic kit barrel look decent??
