My The Collector Showcase Vehicle Collection (1 Viewer)

[Mark IV]

Having updated my K&C thread thought best to do a new one for other vehicles in my collection starting with collector showcase.

I do this with super glue in hand, careful hands nothing but soft touches, touch up paint and where possible providing coding's and lastly offering suggestions which figures go well with the models as not a great fan of TCS figures.

This will take sometime so please bear with me and if anything you would like to ask or additional comparisons please ask away.

Regards
Mark

CS00829 PzKPfw IV Wirbelwind (2014)

 

[Mark IV]

This has been weathered as a way of covering the large amount of repairs that were done. Best described as arriving in lots of parts particularly the tracks.



Model with the latest TGM SS figures



With K&C older SS, but sure newest will fit as well.

CS00573 Sdfkfz 232 8 Rad Normandy (on list for weathering and some paint chips on commander)

 

[Mark IV]

Model with commanders hatch shut



With TGM figures



With K&C Figures

 

[Mark IV]

CS00573 is incorrect code for the 232 sorry about that but without original boxes really on TCS website & Ebay and neither have this or many others and I have destroyed boxes

CS00573 SdfKfz 222 (2012 Normandy Version)

Again needs weathering and paint chip repairs

 

[Mark IV]

With K&C



With TGM

 

[Mark IV]

CS00695 PzKfw III Ausf.M Normandy Camo (has been weathered)



Version with Commander's hatch shut 9Suffering from barrel droop so yet another task)

 

[Mark IV]

With a K&C Half Body Tank Commander and Figures



With Another K&C Half Body Commander and TGM Figures

 

[Mark IV]

CS00936 Sherman M4A3E8 with Sandbagging

 

[Mark IV]

With K&C Figures



With TGM. When doing this comparison realised that it's quite sometime since TGM did US figures and the older sets a little larger then their current Germans so I'm only going to show TCS US with K&C Figures unless TCS provided figure options like tank riders and loaders.

MA41 Sherman (Have 3 of these models)

First is the model with no changes





Next is same model but with a little weathering

 

[Mark IV]

With K&C Figures

Same Sherman but with weathering & baggage added have to say my favourite version. (Work on this was done by Alex Credidio on forums as Fire bat , he did most of the weathering and modifications on TCS vehicles)
