If you want a rickety old truck, I have 2 of these. I bought them for Ork conversions a long while back. (Edit: I'm not advertising mine for sale, just endorsing this kit as being usable)



The size is good. The detail is kinda decent but don't expect miracles, the kit is super old. It's one of those kits that's been released and re-released time and again so you'll see it in a number of different packaging. One of the ones I bought was in a clear plastic bag like the 2 for $1 candy bags from a gas station.

Long OOP at this point, however there is a small chance Airfix may return it to limited production with one of their Kit-starters.

Big sale at Squadron this week including a lot of the kits mentioned here.

That is very 40K.

Bit of an odd one this...

https://www.hlj.com/product/pitpd47



Pit Road make specialist WW2 naval models, at least that's how I am familiar with them.

The Girls Und Panzer series features Japanese schoolgirls fighting a kind of simulation battles with replica historical tanks.

This kit is one is a new series from Pit Road depicting a tank from the anime. You will see it is somewhat Super Deformed, therefore resembling a 40K vehicle more than a genuine scale historical kit would.

The scale isn't given but there are various 1/35th scale Girls Und Panzer girl figures available, so maybe it will be compatible?

One to keep an eye on, anyway!

Any idea if they ever made a Renault Char B1 in this series? -I've seen one in the art for the anime.

The shortening is definitely good for 40K.

It will look better with an underage school draped across it.

How do you now when a school is underage? And more important do you have a tutorial of how to mold schools across my tanks, seems like a cool thing to do to get autocover tho people might claim it's modelling for advantage.

M.

BTW, the school is modelled with our without pupils?

Once again, HLJ comes to your rescue.

Tomy do a range of underage schools in 1/150 (N) scale, ideal for draping across your Super-Deformed Panzer IV.

@aka_mythos, I picked this kit because I liked the picture, but Pit Road are doing some other tanks from the series. There are two up for pre-order, with release in Feb 2016. If they do well, then perhaps a Char Bis will be released.

Several companies are doing Girls Und Panzer tanks in 1/35 scale, but these are all accurate historical kits with a new box and decals.

If you are into the Girls Und Panzer, there are also some kits of the various teams in 1/35 scale, to add to your tanks.

Y'know I think that link should get a NSFW tag.

Plus I'm worried about Dakka showing up in google search for underage schools

Here are some kits I spotted on my regular fly-by reconnaissance of Hobby Link Japan. They are not all new, but I haven't seen them mentioned before, and I think they have potential applications in 40K and other 28mm SF games.


First up, a modern Merkava tank with mine-clearing rollers. These would make great Deff Rolla wheels for Orky vehicles. The tank itself is a very modern looking vehicle and I can easily imagine it converted to an anti-grav vehicle by replacing the wheels with some kind of suspensor pods or lifting vents.

Next is an armoured military bulldozer. The potential applications for this are obvious!

FInally, also from Meng, here is a fun snap-fit kit with 40K style Super Deformed proportions. Very cheap and can be deployed quickly being moulded in two colours of plastic and supplied with digital camouflage stickers. It'snon-scale for obvious reasons but the box dimensions tell us the hull will be about the right size for 40K.

For some reason the image URL can't be got from the site.

OMG that Meng kit is soooooo kawaiiiiii!

Now it just needs some cute little college students and Buddhist monks to have fleeing in front of it!

I see a resemblance of sorts...

I wonder if this could be the base for an Imperial shuttle or even a Wolf Fang or whatever they;re called. For $15 it seems it might be worth finding out.

I should pick up one of those Wolf Fang Talon Storm things one of these days, it almost looks like a usable model.

I love heavy artillery. The thing is that 40K model weapons are so oversized that a realistic scale gun barrel doesn't look that impressive. The carriage ought to be good.

1/35 15mm gun barrels are the same size as basilisk barrels

That would be OK, then.

Woot! Hobbyboss is granting all our modelling wishes!



The Vickers medium mark 1 (upcoming in February). Tell me this tank wouldn't make one of the most badass Leman Russ or Ork tank proxies in existance.

It's a pretty small tank IRL, woudl the kit be large enough for a Leman Russ?

Here's a new kit from Panda Hobby. It's not on release yet, but definitely something to keep an eye out for to make a weirdo armoured car.

an 1/35 IS-3 has the size of a BaneBlade, so a smaller 1/35 tank can fit for a Russ

I use the 1:35 Char B1 bis as leman russ that is about the right size

These came up in a thread on Dust a while back but are worth sharing here.

Honestly I just love that truck. I could see myself throwing out the missile and just covering that funky truck in cargo crates and stowage.

I did the calculations and the tank scales to just about "6"x"3"x"3" in 1/35, which puts it at roughly the same dimensions (albeit 1/3 longer) as the "4.5"x"3"x"3" GW model for the Leman Russ.

I use Merkavas to VDR heavy tanks for my Astra Militarum army, along with Bradleys for IFVs to replace Chimeras. Tiger Model has just released some really good Panhard VBL models I'm going to use. I prefer 1/35 scale for my guys rather than 1/48. Academy, Tamiya, and now Tiger Model are my preferred brands, as they hit the trifecta of detail, availability and affordability.

I used the long tom to make some earthshakers and it worked very well! All I had to do was chop down the barrel slightly, build a blast shield, and put some armor on those wheels and it was a super easy and fun conversion! If I find a picture I will post it for you guys.
