- Hi all,
i saw this on the internet it was love at first sight , now who do i know who might sell me one ..... Mr Greg Reilly of course ! @GregReilly135ScaleModels Yes i ramble through it as always but it does look a lovely kit . Thanks for taking a look .
Regards Gav.
This is going to be a great build. A subject you don't usually see. Can't wait to see its progress.
Thanks Victor there's a lot of surface area to work on . Regards Gav.
Great review Gavin, Worked for Vickers for 30 years they used to drive tanks along Scotswood Road in the 70s played havoc with trying to get finish on your lathe as whole place would shake, Glad they didn't build those.
I bet Stan steel tracks and road wheels too ouch ! Regards Gav.
That's a very cool looking tank kit and can't wait to see you build it Gav and keep it up and you'll have a collection like mine about to cave in on me and that's how I'll die! Lol
It is marra dont you worry Shawn fate wont let you go the plastic kit shops need you to much marra . Regards Gav.
This is fantastic Gav! I built an Amusing Hobby Ho-Ri and it was so amazing and the tracks were great! I've been eyeing a Tortoise lately (along the same lines as the Badger). I am so excited to see you build this one up. Take care marra. Been a bit out of pocket a bit so apologies for not commenting.
Thanks Joe the Tortoise would dwarf this i think , look after yourself marra . Regards Gav.
Great unboxing of this paper tank, Gav! Kit looks great and has some nice details. Thanks for sharing, take care and keep up the good work my friend.
Thank you for taking a look George . Regards Gav
Looks like a Good kit. I like the camo paint scheme on the last page of the instructions. I'll be watching
Cheers Mike that was the British Berlin detachment urban cammo . Regards Gav.
Hi Gavin, nice Badger kit! I have never tried an Amusing Hobby kit before, but the plastic looks great. I'll be looking for the build. Thanks or sharing. Jeff
Thanks Jeff i cant wait to build it what can possibly go wrong ! Regards Gav.
Fantastic review my friend looks a great kit the tracks look great going to be watching your progress thanks for sharing and stay safe 👍🙏
Thanks Rob unfortunately no interior for you in this one marra . Regards Gav.
@@gavinbooth lol still looks a fantastic kit dude enjoy 👍👍
That looks like a great kit, Gav - and what a monster! Fine feller, that Greg Reilly! Good looking plastic and instructions, and snap together tracks! 😍😍 I've not tried an Amusing Hobby kit, but I could be tempted by a Conqueror. Looking forward to seeing this one. 😁
I reckon "Tank Destroyer" is more about intended use than turret. The Achilles and Hellcat were turreted, for instance. It seems to vary between countries too, so more grey than black or white, I think. 🤔 Have a great weekend, marra. Cheers! 👍
They look really impressive kits Andrew and i think they have made two or three conqueror variants too . You know i never thought about the m10 or hellcat that's my theory out the window . Regards Gav.
Nice review Gav. Also, it's good timing because I became to interest allied vehicles in late WW2.
Cheers NOB i hope to make a good build of it , enjoy your weekend marra . Regards Gav.
Nice un-boxing. I have that kit in my stash, so you build first. 🍻
Thanks marra i will go where others fear to tread ! Regards Gav.
@@gavinbooth 😂
Figure painting: check
Model building: check
It's all good.
Cheers Beetle my old marra . Regards Gav.
Haha - too funny Marra. True. Very Few can complete with Shawn on the stash front 😂 oh, I did Stay that long marra. The S tank is a tank - it was developed to replace the centurions and along the S tank in the procurement where the A and T tank (M60 patton (Amerikanska/ American and the Leopard (Tyskland / German). Hence S is for the Swedish Alternative. Officially Strv 103 (3rd tank with over 10cm cannon). It was designed to counterattack enemy footholds and bridgeheads as a infantry support -.very much like the stug Iii for ex - also, No turret and No tank destroyer. Dont know if the definition with No turret holds up marra 😂🧐
Cool kit - looking forward to it 👍🏻
Regards Fredrik
Cheers for the info on the s tank Fredrik fancy wanting to replace the centurion ! i have to confess i thought you were the Swedish version of Shawn , i hope to have my FV217 clanking down a street in Northern Germany soon ,in Uncle Nightshift we trust marra ! Regards Gav.
Its an armoured self propelled gun Gav, which also has the adjective "tank destroyer". Hope this clears any mystery up mate.
It does thank you marra ! Regards Gav.
Nice ramble Gav the tank is nice looking forward to you building this one I have the takom tiger 1 full interior kit I’m looking for a good set of metal tracks that are not going to make me go crazy putting them together any ideas you may recommend would be appreciated marra. Cheers 🥃👍🦦
Honestly Jeff i have never built metal tracks they are a bit out my price range Greg Reilly is the man to ask marra , all the best . Regards Gav.
@@gavinbooth ok yeah same here but want to add the better detail to this kit thanks marra I’ll get in touch with Greg
Nice review marra
Cheers Tom ! Regards Gav.
Conqueror had what became known as a hunter-killer system wherein the TC could locate a target and slew the gun to it then hand it to the gunner and then the TC can seek other targets while the gunner engages the first and so on.
This Badger is very tempting Gavin, how long did yours take to arrive and where did you get it from?
Thanks for the info Anton its appreciated marra i made a start on the kit last night . Sorry i bought this kit from another youtuber it would appear from China including post you can get them for around £40/£45 here in the uk for just under £50 . Regards Gav.
The Cross keys are BAOR 2 Div.
Cheers John they will be what i use pity they don't have any tank names i will find some though
@@gavinbooth I was with 2 Div in the 70's. As far as I can recollect, any nickname on a chieftan was using the prefix or call sign 1st letter (A for Alan, B for betty etc). I stand to be corrected, but as this will be a 'what if', it really does not matter. I was with 4th Tanks in Berlin for a short while ( I was attached to REMEworkshops), but they did not carry the digital camo. Of course this may have changed in the 80's regards JC.
John its taken 13 days for this to show up in my withheld box , youtube can be a bloody joke at times thanks for the information marra its appreciated . Regards Gav.
