I bought Revells old Forrest Sherman in 1/300 scale the other day. Nice enough for its age.

Not too good on the details though.

Hi RD!

Long time no see
Yes, the Revell model show it's age, but I was impressed with the level of details on JAG's models...
I went to their website and found the details "pretty good" (downstatement) for 1/700 scale models!

It reminded me of some NATO excercises I made severall years ago
I am looking forward to get my hands on one of those beautys

Thanks Tom!

But I said it truly from the heart, not with second intentions!
As I said, from the pics, the quality appears to be top notch, and on your gallery Peter Van Buren does his magic full throttle!! Very impressive work and very impressive models!

Thanks for the contact you made to Jim - we have been emailing ourselves about your actions
Thanks for the trust

Skipper
