I got this as a test case in my last order from Gramodels, I will be getting a Pendraken one soo to compare but here is a quick look at the Gramodels version

It looks pretty, but how was it for casting quality, etc? GRAmodels also do Vickers Medium versions, and apart from a Shapeways provider at huge expense they're the only source I know.

Mind you, a 1:150 Tetrach must be absolutely tiny...

Wulf, Gramodels is a one man band without the production equipment of someone like Pendraken so while the models are nicely detailed the casting varies on the same model in the same batch - I assume they are done one by one. Mostly they are fine but occasionally there is some casting defect that needs a bit of milliput to repair. if you search my blog for Gramodels I have a number of engineering type vehicles and so can get a size comparison as well as a look at a few more models

Yes, I've corresponded with him about the railway stuff on his list, but never actually ordered anything.
