I am afraid to see what this ones going to cost. The price of plastic kits these days i getting ridiculous for the average modeler on a budget.

I don't think that Magic Factory is aiming to be a budget brand. More basic kits like those from Takom's Blitz line are still incredibly reasonably priced for example.

I'll keep an eye on the Chinese market and let you guys know the local reference price as soon as it is available. Than you can think about if the importers and hobby stores in your countries are ripping you off or not. 😉

Ebay has some direct from China sellers. Can get for next to store price. That's where I'll get mine from.

Ya its sad we have to buy elsewhere due to price but it is a choice I utilize to get a better price for sure. Just make sure its a seller in China who packs models correctly and ships promptly or your going to wait over a month and get a broken kit. Always check feedback first.

I pre-ordered one myself yesterday. November is my birthday month, so it is going to be a birthday present to myself. Squadron is pre-selling it for 63 bucks, so was surprised to see Andy doing it for 10 less.

Yeah that's not a bad price but I swear shipping is starting to kill and many places these days are not even worth buying over seas due to shipping now costing more than some kits.

With shipping and all, the kit from Andy's is $63.98. $12.95 shipping, I believe that is their flat rate for all kits.

Current sales price in China is around 28 EUR in online stores. Shipping to overseas I can´t assess right now but I believe there´s some cheap solution available.

Thanks, i didn't found such a comparison in 1:48
Is it worth the money ? I my opinion, yes 🙂

i have Tiger I (Friulmodel ATL-4807, 1:48) waiting in my stash, glad to know that is probably good (you use Tiger II Hunting Tiger (Friulmodel ATL-4806, 1:48) in your comparison), i guess they must be similar quality

@Cortex, I built Tiger 1 with heavy hobby, too (and i have panther tracks in the same brand).
It's much better than original tracks, but assembly is a little fragile and tricky.
Don't try to assemble them from the side (the 2 tracks at the same level). I found it's easier to put already assembled tracks on the table, and assemble the new tracks from above.
it's difficult to explain, but there are only 2 ways to assemble tracks : by side, or above 😅
Good idea, i'll also add panther tracks. Currently, i don't have Friul ones yet. And only Tamiya and hobby boss models.

@Spanjaard, i built 1/35 Fruil Tiger 1 tracks (but not yet the model), and very few cleanup was also necessary.
I'm very pleased by last years, Friul quality 😊

Hey guys, I've been working on this kit lately and found a massive flaw on the tracks!
You can see the issue here, part G1 has one link too much which leads to huge fitting issues when you finally managed to wrap the links around the sprocket and idler wheel.
imghost.net/gmPcY8sCLmavsGc
The only chance to link them is by sagging them more than requested which will give the model an awkward look.
I've tried to assemble them 3 times before I found that issue. Unfortunately I can't find aftermarket replacements in China so I'm thinking of a solution now.
Take care, better buy aftermarket right away if you want to go for this kit!

Yes, the kit tracks don't fit. There's one link too much on the G1 track piece which leads to fitting issues all the way through.

Thanks for the information, @Matthias
I've not started yet the Ustar KT, and i was wondering if it was necessary to buy friul or trex tracks for this recent model.
I'll save myself a headache, and include missing KT tracks in my next order 😉

Absolutely recommended to buy aftermarket tracks right away.
Be aware however not to bin the kit tracks without taking off the spare tracks for the turret from the sprues.
They are on the same sprues as the main tracks and can be overlooked easily.

The boys who, when my motorbike was stolen circa 1981, refused to investigate it as anything other than an insurance scam! Not the brightest folk I've ever met. I'll try not to hold that against your model Sergio, but can't promise. 🙂

Mark: I've been an AF Para back during my conscription. I really do not love those MP monkeys....
But I selected this one as there are some decals available and there are some parts that must be built from scratch. This will be a preparation for my next Landie: a British Amy EOD one.
Hope your motorbike was not a Royal Enfield or a Triumph or a Norton: this would be a great loss.

Yamaha XT250. Absolutely loved that bike. It's been cars and bicycles since that was knicked. If I win the lottery tomorrow, I'll buy this: facebook.com/marketp..25539498668014/?ref=
You probably know that the RAF Police wear a blue beret, but I see the chap in image #6 is wearing a red beret like the Royal Military Police (Army).

Yes, I know: this one was a prototipe, it is my second time using Magic Sculpt and I'm still too green.
As you see, the figure is far from being perfect.

Thank you very much, Mike, but is a little bot oversized and the mix of green stuff and Magic Sculpt proved to be not as addequate as needed.
I have been modifying figures of the old Italery "british tank troops" box to get cold war british soldiers (as these figures are a little bit smaller than others). I'm afraid 1:35 references for 70-80's british troopers are very limited, so this encouraged me to try modelling. The second try would be better.

Regarding the XT250, if you are looking for one, there are easy to obtain here in Spain under 3000€, and several are for sale. I think import taxes in Britain are around 12% plus VAT and, knowing that your MOT is a logical thing when compared to our ITV system would be relatively easy for you to get a license plate.
I know that Norton well, as there was one in the family. There were a lot of Norton bikes in Northern Spain in the 70s and 80s, but bought second hand from Canary Islands and Gibraltar. Very neglected, as spare parts were scarce. The Govt subsidies for new cars and bikes destroyed the rest and there are few to none survivors now.
Now I am working on getting a Land Rover Wolf from Britain (ex-MoD) for my farming operation. Hope to get one (or at least, pay less on taxes than on buying the Landie). 🤣

Thank you very much, Mark! I did know the first one, but no clue about the others!
I have one question for you, as you served the RAF in these times... Those guys of the RAF Police, usually have helmets in their vehicles? I mean, back in the 80s (with all this means for good rock music).

Re helmets, I'd say probably not Sergio. The banner picture you use at the top of the project made me laugh at first - never seen RAF Plods running unless running to the mess! 🙂 And very odd to see them with SLRs.
If you didn't do helmets and kitted them with 9mm pistols or SMGs, nobody could argue that it wasn't authentic (* always depending on place/scene). DPM (disruptive pattern material) and ballistic vests as per your banner picture would be correct for Germany and Northern Ireland, but for most of UK mainland I'd expect to see them in RAF blue. UK Bloodhound sites and nuclear bomber sites, are probably best treated as for Germany. There are a lot of variables. Are you modelling any specific place/scene?

I was thinking on RAF Brüggen or RAF Güntersloh. That photo I think was taken on Güntersloh, 1985, when some RAF Police troops try to capture a beer six pack.
Well, also I could change to RAF Blue uniforms (I think the wear caps instead berets, but also they usually patrol on Leyland Sherpa instead Landies).
Regarding the SLR, I found in photographs that whereas Royal Military Police usually appear using Sterling SMGs, RAF Police usually carry SLRs. And in most of photos, RAF monkeys wear INIBA vests. Maybe I should research a little bit more.

Thank you, mate. Now seems closer to the end. This model is not fit for weathering, as some veterans told me RAFP Landies were neat and cleaned every week, so only small touches will be added, so, apart from some final assembly, this will remain more or less like this.
