1/16 kit options....

[sapper23]

I am looking at some 1/16 kits, I am looking to build something I don't have in current models and just to try one... Would love an M18 hellcat in that size. Can't find one but could find an m10 tank destroyer.

I am looking for something highly detailed, correct so on. Not looking for a toy or anything full of inaccuratcies. The half-track with four fifty's is nice as well. I want or would prefer something with engine so on visable or where could display it as well.

Anyone have any thoughts on this or can recommend different ones that might fit the above??

I've built Trumpeter's 1/16 King Tiger and Panzer IV, both with full interiors. I also built Das Werk's 1/16 Stug III with partial interior.
All are quality kits that went together well, around 2,000 parts each on average.
I got threads on each one in the Armour section here on the forum.
That's all the 1/16 kits I've built so far, and I would recommend all of them for what's it worth.

Nice! Yeah I been looking at those but am thinking between the m10 tank destroyer, the m-atv mrap, the US half-track with the quad fifty setup. I don't own any German armor pretty much at same time though.

What's your favorite one out of those listed?

Also... If no German armor what would be the most essential out of those?

I would have to say the King Tiger is my favorite.
Check put Andy's Hobbies for 1/16 stuff, if you haven't already.

Yeah I'm just not into German armor enough to spend that on it. Think im narrowed down to a few now that are pretty good that don't cost a testical. Im thinking the m10 tank destroyer.
