You might recall my less than enthusiastic review of Pegaso's 90mm
SS-Sturmbannführer of Artillery, 2nd SS Panzer Division ''Das Reich'', France 1944 in my
introductory posting to the Red Skull project. Well, today I received a "used" kit of the same subject from a trusted friend and colleague, and the differences are overwhelmingly obvious! I won't launch into a well-worn rant, but what has the hobby come to when you have to pay more--and get less!!!--with a late-run casting? Maybe this "driving" (as in hunting) approach is the latest marketing theory (read: ploy) in order to recapture the initial investment as quickly as possible. . .
Be that as it may. . . I acquired a second Sturmbannführer as it will serve as the base for a somewhat more ambitious conversion:
Spider-Man Noir. This project is green-lighted for next year, and I am very much looking forward to seeing this one unfold.
More on Marvel's Noir alternate reality
(
S-mN is set in 1933-34) when the project is launched; but in the meantime, those not familiar with this setting can check out the usual sites, or simply Google "Marvel Noir" or "Spider-man Noir".
