It's a 2 part thing  with mr Kit..one side hates  being asked but the other side cant say no cause the person was so nice to make the offer and with prices being the way they are it's a great way stock
up cheaply.
Which doesn't help my pocket out one bit yet in another it does

Quote from: Wardukw on July 31, 2023, 09:05:06 PMA month before that I found one online in China for $25nz with $3 postage..so I brought it...well guess what showed up today..stupid question I know   
Now I have 2 

And don't forget the bonus micro tracking chip that comes with everything that emanates from the PRC nowadays    Seriously postage was cheap ?

Why would they bother?  They know where he lives - he sent them his address.   

The big problem isn't the possible spyware, even if that can be a serious drawback depending on who you are and what you work with, but for regular Mr Smiths such as myself, the big thing is that every dime I spend in China keeps their system going a little longer. Yes, my contribution is small, but there are many, many Mr Smiths such as myself..

Above said, you know who just clawed a Trumpeter MiG-29 SMT from Trumpeter off Evilbay. That's certainly made in China, so I'm not as good a world citizen as I'd like.

True, unless he uses a PO address 

I think I forgot to mention this purchase, which should arrive in the next day or so:

1 x AFV Club 1/35 Stryker M1126 with CROWS-J (Javelin missile turret) (AFV-AF35343) - I think that makes 7 Stryker kits of 6 different variants in the Wombat Stash, now
2 x AFV Club 1/48 Air-to-Ground Weaponry set #A - US Aircraft Bomb Weapon Set (AFV-AR48107) - Aircraft for the use of
1 x FC Model Trend 1/35 Merkava 4 Chain Courtain (FC-35698) - I'm not sure what a "courtain" is but it looks like the ball-&-chain curtain used on all Merkavas, in this case the Merkava 4 &, as it's 3D printed it should be an easy late addition to the Ukrainian beasty*.




[*: Because I've misplaced the PE set &, less concerning, decals that came with the kit.]

Snagged another relatively inexpensive Roden Heinkel He 111B off eBay.

Roden 111 in 1:144 ?    Got one of them some weeks ago, together with some other types in 144 for a funny kitbashing  ...
What is Roden , where from did. they come ?

No, 72nd.  Not easy builds, but if I can a Mach Poo Valiant together then the Roden He 111 shouldn't be too difficult.

Niozer mate Roden is a Ukrainian model manufacturer..been around for a couple of decades.

A friend gave a 1/48th Monogram F-100, a 1/48th Marine Harrier, a 1/48th Fokker triplane and some 1-144th planes. Just when I was trying not to buy stuff. Haha, just like telling myself I'll start getting in shape!
