Great! I will follow this with much interest!

It was the Hachette Publication that had the Sherman Firefly VC, and most likely the Tiger I too. I think they also did a few cars too but it follows the same process.

I like the whole idea of these projects... pretty cool and luv the T-72.

[skeeter]

Where to acquire this magazine? What's the cost(s) of it? I'm highly interested in something like this.

[Mikhai]

Skeeter! I can send you a parcel with magazines. One issue of the magazine costs 10 dollars.

[skeeter]

How many magazines to get all the parts for the model?

[Mikhai]

A total of 65 issues of the magazine.

[skeeter]

$650.oo plus shipping, pricey, but a cool idea.

[Mikhai]

Skeeter! You can buy the assembled model of the tank. It will be cheaper - 500 dollars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igzWbpqPLg0

[Mikhai]

Skeeter! You can buy a tank that participated in the fighting. Such a tank will cost 250 dollars https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=EgieiKVCeEo

[skeeter]

I like that, & very affordable too. I just have to find a buddy that wants one as well, & is close to me. I think I may have just the friend in mind, & will ask them this week, when I see him. If they're in, I'm in.

[Mikhai]

Skeeter! Please write short sentences. It is difficult for me to translate long sentences.My native language is Russian. For our communication with you, I use a translator "Google". In Russia you can buy a 1/16 Deagostini "T-72" tank inexpensively.

This is a Russian bazaar on the Internet - https://www.avito.ru/rossiya?s=101&q=%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BA+%D1%82-72

On the website of AVITO you can write to the seller. Negotiate about buying and selling. You will be sent a parcel. If you do not succeed, write to me and I will help you!

Great work Michael. Skeet, here's a forum on r/c tanking I'm a member of if you'd like to look around. It's a bit overwhelming like any other new r/c but the members are very willing to help and answer questions, and a bit of footage from the Danville, VA battlefield.
