I never paid attention to scale when I was a teenager, but I did make some cool models. The most realistic was a German Ostwind flakpanzer that I went so far as to bend the fenders and put a few 50cal pockmarks on it. And I gave the crew a realistic paint job too. But my have times changed. This is about a third the size, but I can’t wait to weather it. The seller described it minimally, but the price was great. And they packed it safely and shipped it fast.
