ranma Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Since I really liked the one season series Girls Und Panzer. I decided to build 4 of the tanks used in the anime show. I plan on adding some others when I can. The decals were bought off ebay as it's cheaper to buy those then pay extra for a Girls und Panzer tank kits. I just finished the Prvada Girls High School's JS2 More commonly known as an IS2. Team turtles Hetzer will be next.

Snake45 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Cool! Are these all Monogram kits? I think I see the early-type suspension on the Sherman (same as the M3 suspension). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranma Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 I know that the Panzer IV and the M-3 Lee are Revell- Monogram, The sherman was rescued from when my older brother moved west, But more ten likely it's a Revell kit as well. I bought the Panzer IV from Hobby Lobby recently with a 40% off coupon. Trying to find a cheaper Tiger 1, Panzer 36 (t) , An Assult II, and a ILS (JS) 2....

Mike999 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 There was some...spirited discussion about Girls Und Panzer on armor-modeling boards. Some people were outraged at the whole idea, most were just: "Meh. The Japanese doing their own thing, as usual." I have a friend in Los Angeles with 2 young sons. They loved that series and bought/downloaded every episode they could. The funniest comment on one of the armor boards: "How does this series end? When American teen-age girls in their B-29 nuke the Hiroshima Prefecture Girls' School?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranma Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 For an animated series The tanks were very well done as to how the actual tank would look like inside and out. As for the B-29 Hiroshima joke not all that funny , Besides the school's were on mega carriers. BTW I'm 50 and like Girls und Panzer. Another thing not very many war movies have correct tanks for wwII , I rember one where the germans were using Patton tanks for Tiger's.

unclescott58 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) I think the B-29 Hiroshima joke is pretty good. By the way, where are the Tank Girls themselves? Edited December 2, 2017 by unclescott58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each school operates a School carrier. These super carriers have complete towns on them as well as the school and it's tanks. All the tanks are from WWII and either have to be of that era. If a tank was in the prototype to design stage in 1945 Those tanks would also be allowed to compete. Saunders is a competing school based of american military equipment as They use every type of Sherman tank that was used in WWII where as One of the other schools use's German made tanks, (IE Tiger's Panzers, Elephants, Mause ect. There is also a russian School called Pravda Which uses JS 2's KV's Ect. Along with a british themed school that uses Maltilda's, and a Churchill....

ranma Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 The Girl's which I would like to get are way to pricey as the set of 5 girls for the Panzer IV runs over $70.00 on ebay.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranma Posted December 30, 2017 Author Share Posted December 30, 2017 Even though this M41 Would not be allowed to be used, As it was designed and built just after WWII. I could not resits on making it for Saunders Girls University High School. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
