Santa Tank kit



Silly kit time.

I spotted this Meng World-War Toons Sherman Christmas Edition a few months ago. It ticked me for being so daft, well designed, and also not too expensive. I placed an order and waited - for two months. In mid July the postman delivers, giving me plenty of time to have it ready for the festive season.

The kit finally appeared and it looks great.


Everything is nicely moulded and designed to be assembled without glue. Instructions and transfers are included.



There's even a painting guide for Santa!

The kit sat around for a day calling to me. I know that I really should carry on with some existing projects, but you know what, it feels really decadent to dive into a model as soon as the box arrives, but this one can jump the queue...

Let's guess - the painting guide makes reference to a painting by Haddon H. Sundblom.

Joking aside, I wonder if you ever expected to be painting a model of some guy in Coca-Cola company colours.

By the way, I don't know if you've checked out other areas of that AK website - like the section marked "free downloads". Although I've never particularly liked weathering, some of the stuff there looks like it might be rather interesting.
