OK...one of the downsides to having a 600+ kit stash is trying to decide what to build, so when it came time to decide what to build for the SMA contest, it hasn't been an easy decision, however I have narrowed it down to 3 kits, and now I need your help to decide.
I knew it was going to be armor, but what was it going to be? I thought about the new HB Merkava IV, or one of the newer Trumpeter T62s, but both have indy track links, and I don't really want to tackle them.
So, the choices are:
1. Trumpeter M1117 Guardian, only additions to the kit is going to be a set of New World Miniatures Resin Wheels (Pricey but look awesome) and a Legends Anti-IED detector as well as a few antennas that don't come with the kit.
I was originally gung ho on this one, but now having 2nd thoughts....would still be cool however.
2. Revell German Wiesel 2 Ozelot, with the addition of the Eduard PE set.
This one is growing on me
3. Tamiya Challenger 2 - Completely OOB, no additions other than a few packs here and there.
I know this kit will pretty much fall together, being a typical Tamiya kit, the challenge will be in the painting and weathering.
We have a club build day here on Sunday, so I need to choose before then and get going. So help me choose, I am leaning towards the Ozelot, and may go that direction, but would love to see what you think!
BTW, anyone is welcome to drop by for the club build day, this Sunday from 1pm to 5pm here at ECH.
