For those who like the show and like building models, this is actually pretty cool.

I haven't seen the show, but I can say I like the garishness of the last model tank, the STuG III. (tank name corrected here too) Wink

That "Panzer" is actually a StuG.

No, spoiler[the flags, and the flags alone, were the problem because they compromised the StuG's low profile].

true, but spoiler[in the first ambush attempt, that bright red StuG is the first thing we can see down that narrow canyon, so even if Momo didn't prematurely fire, they already lost any chance at a surprise attack]

But it played no role in how that affair turned out - hardly "hammering home" the point.

Shouldn't the 38t be a much shinier, polished gold color? The model looks rather dull. ^^

Too bad they don't come with miniatures of the girls or I would be throwing money at my monitor.

Like the Hyaku Shiki MG? I think you could probably buy shiny metallic paints, but I see that burnished gold more often in kits, like for FSS's Knight of Gold.

Something like that. In several shots, it was gleaming in the sunlight... ^^
