Slammers Sighted |
Sep 26, 2013 08:17 |
I just received my Slammers tanks from Old Crow and I must say they are fabulous kits. I have never seen resin castings this flawless, and I have a fair few of them! The combat cars even came with photo-etched brass canopies, a really nice touch. I just hope I can build them without mucking them up, I have fairly little experience with photo-etched parts.
The vehicles have resin hulls and turret with mostly white metal detail parts though some of the optional stowage parts are also resin. All of the castings are extremely high quality and should be a joy to assemble and paint. With these I think I'm going for the classic unpainted iridium look.
And the blower tanks are huge! I have to check if they fit in my large tank trays or do I have to order raster foam for them.
I will definitely be ordering more kits, this time some opposition. I've been itching to do the final battle in Rolling Hot. For some reason it just struck a chord with me. It will be pretty expensive but I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and get them.
