I concur. Tamiya for ease of build Dragon for level of detail and wow factor. I have many of both makes in my stash so have compared kits myself :) This is a very old and miserable Italeri kit btw. Italeri make some nice kits, especially the newer molds but most of their old stuff is not great. It was good enough in 1970 but not now, it’s not even cheap.

You mean the winner would be the Dragon Ferdinand Premium Edition :) I am not trolling btw Dragon make the best Ferdy/Elefant kits no contest.

Really don’t use superglue unless you really want to start leaving fingers instead of fingers prints on the plastic.

The one you build is a Ferdinand not a Elefant and there’s a picture of one over at the WoT forums. Not seen inside the box but I presume that Italeri just did what many other vendors do. When they produce a kit with real-life variants that think ahead and add parts upfront.

Chances are the codes will be used up before a lot of them are even opened.

I still see far too many codes going up for sale, either someone internal is pulling codes out of the DB, or WG hasn’t fixed the brute force scanning problems.

Not if you fill the gaps with “green stuff”. You’ll never see the join if you do it right.

And use superglue instead of plastic glue if you want it to minimize the fingerprints.

This looks extremely easy. Even as a newbie who has made about a dozen models this just looks ridiculously easy.
Probably for first time modelers. Wouldn’t a 1/72 be better in that case though…

And the winner would be a Tamiya model :D

Most likely, they use UPS. But I guess it would be better to check out Italeri’s
online page for that.
