Help everyone affected by the Australian Brushfire and score a great tank for your army with Victoria Miniatures Kangaroo APC Tank!
Anyone who follows current events knows that our friends down under are in a pretty rough spot right now with massive fires raging across the continent. The team at Victoria Miniatures has offered the hobby community a great way to reach out a helping hand to our friends in need. Let’s let her explain.
For every Kangaroo APC kit sold during January, Victoria Miniatures, in conjunction with our resin caster’s at Trench Worx will donate $50.00 USD (around $73.00 AUD) to the RSPCA.
Each Kangaroo APC sold during this period will also include a free pre-release Hedgerow Cutter. A kangaroo purchase will also qualify for a free miniature of the month of your choice.
If you would prefer to donate directly to an Australian Bush Fire charity of your choice, here are some helpful links. Every little bit counts.
Thank you, V
The Kangaroo APC
What’s up hobby maniacs? Today we are taking a look at the latest and greatest release from the hobby maniacs at Victoria Miniatures as we trim up, put together and see how this mini stacks up to some comparable models. Let’s get started.
The Kangaroo APC: $64.99
High quality 28mm heroic scale resin kit.
This kit contains all the components to build one Kangaroo APC, including 5 gun options.
The ‘Kangaroo APC’ provides a characterful, and highly detailed alternative transport option for you troops. It also goes great with Victoria Miniatures Matilda Tanks, as all the turrets and turret cannons are interchangeable between the kits.
3 turret cannon options included in Kangaroo Kit:
-Twin Heavy Bolter
-Twin Flamer
-Multi Laser Cannon
2 hull gun options included in Kangaroo Kit:
-Flamer
-Heavy Bolter
The Kangaroo’s hull-mounted guns have insets to accept 3 magnets 1/4 inch diameter x 1/32 inch thick.
As you can see this miniature is very well cast for a resin tank. The Kangaroo APC not only has clean crisp detail but is relatively easy to put together making it an easy hobby project.
When it comes to weapon options you get them all with the Kangaroo APC. There are three options for the main gun straight out of the box. Also included are two options for the sponson weapon that also have slots for magnets. This way you can future proof you tank for years to come.
Here it is side by side with a more recognizable tank for scale. This kit is great for anyone looking for something different for their Guard army. Plus with free shipping over $100 and great deals like the free Miniature of The Month. Victoria Miniatures is definitely looking out for your hobby dollars.
