New WWII sets released by Sluban.

For some reason all these sets fall under the series name Battle of Budapest, but do not have a true name printed on the box, so I will name them adding the name of the tank.

Battle of Budapest Tiger II/Jagdtiger 2-in-1
M38-B0980
930pcs
4 minifigs

Battle of Budapest T-34 Winter Camo
M38-B0978
518pcs
2 Minifigs

Battle of Budapest Hetzer
M38-B0976
344pcs
2 Minifigs

Battle of Budapest Fighter Aircraft ME-262 (thanks Deinonychus for info)
M38-B0977
338pcs
1 Minifig

Battle of Budapest IS-1/ISU-152 2-in-1
M38-B0979
845pcs
3 Minifigs

Please note, after watching a video showing the assembly of the M38-0979 set this set is not for children, it falls apart with a touch during assembly and was very frustrating watching it fall apart while putting the roller wheels on the bottom frame.

Personally I'm looking at the Tiger II, hertzer and maybe the T-34.

Gramps have you checked out this set from Sluban if your interested in the bridge set. Sorry the pic is so huge. It's the Normady D-Day Landing Atlantic Wall set.

Update, WTF I just noticed the Palm tree in the pic. As far as I recall D-Day didn't take place in the tropics. Ah yes I remember the stories my Grandfather would tell of the D-Day landing and all the fancy Coconut drinks they had on the beach while fighting the Germans.

The plane is a German Me-262…first operational jet fighter.

Thanks for posting these. I had seen the King Tiger, but didn’t know it had a Jagdtiger model. The one I’m most excited about is the IS-152. Nobody has put that out as a model up to this point.

Thanks Deinonychus for the info I updated the post.

Like I said under the IS-1 after watching a video from Game of Bricks building the suspension and under carriage as it constantly fell apart don't attempt to build this set when your pissed or it might turn into the first flying IS-1/ISU-152 ever as it soars across the room.

If you are a glutton for punishment when building sets try the Sembo Tiger I, oh my god everytime I just pick it up the suspension falls off. Looks great when left alone though.

Oh yeah, you’re not the only one that suspension falls off for.

I’m not above using a little super glue for special cases like this. Sometimes it’s the only solution for fixing a fragile assembly you don’t plan on taking apart ever.

Ah so you have put yourself through the Sembo Tiger torture and it won.

Just kidding, after you apply the like 80 stickers to that Tiger it's not like you can use the parts anywhere else ever again so might as well glue it. Nice looking kit though.

I think I will build a Kikka or a Ki-201 with the parts.
