Looking over my RC collection: Tiger I, Panther,
JS-2, Pz IV and T-34/SU-100, I noticed that all but the
JS-2 are heavily altered.
Tiger I was converted to an Initial with elimination of the escape hatch, storage bin (have a Pz IV bin to put on), Feifels, side skirts, track guards, tools and tow cable set up as well as changing the driver sights and engine deck. MG is animated too and it has a removable snow plow.
Panther is the Ersatz, so that $800 kit was cut to pieces before it even saw assembly.
Pz IV has zimmerit and Thoma Schurzen with functioning convoy and Notek.
T-34 76 and SU-100 are static kit conversions, the 76 has applique armor, the SU will be a Beute, possibly bedspring armor.
Even though the
JS-2 is still the same, I added casting marks and numbers to the turret and cupola as well as functional running lights and headlight cage.
So it seems I'm never happy to leave anything alone, but am curious about the rest of you. Anyone happy to just drive them?
