M114 - Takom - 1/35 - Showcase
I’m sure, if you are anything like me this release from Takom caught you a little off guard. I am by no means an expert with all things armour, but I do like to think I know a little bit about the subject given I am looking at armour in one form or another just about every day…but this one stumped me a little. In all my time in the hobby I had never come across the M114 before.
I won’t cover old ground, because when the kit was first announced the details were published here at The Modelling News with a brief history of the vehicle - LINK .
After some research I found out Accurate Armour had also released a version of the M114 in the early 90’s, but this release from Takom is the first time we have seen this subject in a mainstream boxing.
I have always been fond of the M113, so it made perfect sense to add the M114 to my collection as an interesting comparison between the two similar vehicles.
