Hard to forget series - those were the days of the Shep Paine diorama
sheets. But if I remember a recent post on the Atomic Cannon right, he was
in the army at that time - may have actually missed them - there was a
lawsuit that got the color sheets discontinued. Somebody claimed it was
false advertising since their model didn't turn out as good as Shep's. That
and the unfortunate choice of 1/32 versus Tamiya's 1/35 seemed to bring that
set to an early end. I built the M-3s, the Brumbar and Panzer IV are still
somewhere in my stash.


Yeah, they were okay kits but the 1/32 scale thing was annoying.
They also got really stuck on doing Panzer IV versions so they could use
the same chassis.
A Panther or Tiger would have been nice, as well as a Hetzer.
