Hello from across the pond! Build the T34 first. It will be a fun kit. The Tiger gets a little fiddly on the road wheels. Also a great kit.

Looks like you can turn the L clamp uprights 180 degrees, this will enable smaller aircraft to fit.... I've just ordered one of these about two days ago from Skookum RC, they were only £17 and £3 p&p, so only £20 all in..... looks exactly the same, cheers.

That brings back some memories of my younger self rushing eagerly to my local model shop on hearing that they had just taken delivery of the B1B! I currently have the Revell platinum edition of the Monogram 1/48 Bone in my stash, and I'm very much looking forward to building it.

Hi. I have been making models for over 40 years so I have built many models. I started with aircraft , in a big way. I then went into 1/35th armour as well. Now I focus on small scale armour. I built the Puma , a nice kit. I have also built the King Tiger , another good kit. I might suggest that you look towards battles between the Germans and Russians on the approach towards Berlin. Places like Seelow Heights , also the battles around the Lake Balaton area or in other areas in Czechslovakia. This is where the T34 and King Tiger would have gone head to head. Good luck with your builds. Regards.

all looking good! as regards building different genres of kits, I take the view that modelling basics can be applied to most types of kit, and I personally am a very eclectic builder ( I have on the go at the minute an airfix B17 old tool, an airfix Roland WW1 German two seater, I've just finished an airfix 1/32 MGB car kit, and will be carrying on with an airfix vintage classic HMS Hood with a photo etch set) that list is airfix heavy, I admit, but I do have stuff by other manufacturers, honest!
