Hi. New member here. Thought I'd introduce myself by these two. Just started this as a hobby by buying the Tank mags from issue 1 til now....money permitting, should have somemore. So far, all I have are the ones that come with the mag. These two I added the tanks (extra ones).

I got them online. I was initially upset that Allscript wasn't able to give the FAMO and trailer, as advertised. Instead, they gave me two models to replace it. They weren't even sure whether they can get me the FAMO. I got the FAMO from an ebay vendor in US. Costs me approx RM150.00, including postage. The tank was an extra model from Agostini. The netting was made from a unused laundry bag and painted to match.

The US Dragon Wagon was also purchased online RM200. The tank is again an extra (Agostini). The display cases are made locally and the lettering, local printer with thin double sided tape.

Both tanks are screwed onto the trailers' flatbeds and the models are then screwed onto the display cases.

I am waiting for a few more models that I purchased online. A Willys jeep with AA gun and a Kubelwagen (This one is particularly difficult to find, at least cheaply!). Should have it sometime next month.

Here are a few more non-Agostini models that I have. They are nothing special. I got them because they look nice.

I'll post pics of the Willys jeep and the Kubelwagen when I get them.

Which ones? The ones in the pictures or the Willys jeep and Kubelwagen?

@Fubar,

The ones in the pictures costs around RM90-RM100 each. Got it from Mudah.

This is what I am paying for the Willys jeep and Kubelwagen:

1) Hobby Master 1/72 US Willys Jeep with 37mm M3A1 Anti Tank Gun @ UK£19.95
2) Hobby Master 1/72 Horch 1a with 20mm Flak 38 DAK 1941 @ UK£16.95
3) Dragon 1/72 Heavy Uniform Personnel Vehicle Type 40 Unidentified Unit Eastern Front 1941 @ UK£14.95

Cost of Delivery =UK£14.00

Mod: I am aware that this thread is for DeAgostini Combat Tanks Collection. Apologies to all if I am breaking any rules for posting stuff about non-Agostini models.

I'll keep that in mind. Heheh

Went to Allscript yesterday to pick up issues 18,19 and 20. Also 2 sets of issues 3, just for the binders. I can't understand why Allscript won't let us have the binders only.....

The T72M1 is awesome, though. Very well detailed.

yep. i would like to know too. the only one i can find from the web is a polish site. but it is a model kit, not die-cast.

My new ones arrived last week. Took some time to have the cases made. They are not Agostini. The StuG, Type 40 and Kubelwagen are from Dragon Armour. The Jeep and Horch are from HobbyMaster

@ arif85124,

very nice!

then you mind letting go of at least one of those german tanks .
what is that tank shown in the fourth photo down, furthest left hand? the one in white with two cannons?

tq!

My latest one! It's a IJA Type 97 Japanese tank used here during WW2. This one from Dragon Armour.

Yep. It is the only part of the house that is clean! The rest..........aiseh!

Yep. I can only assume that Fubar meant the square, laying on the floor, household decoration kind and not the 'other' kind.

agreed. the quality is irregular.
