Quote from: rickshaw on April 05, 2023, 06:04:36 AMThe Oz Cam is all wrong for the period.  The Australian Army did not introduce cam on vehicles until about 1984.  Before then it was just plain, boring green.  In the 1950s, the green used was Bronze Green, in the 1960s and 70s and early 80s it was Australian Army green, a most odd shade. 

Pulled out of Whiffy retirement to tackle the Chinese invasion!

Ordered in the wee hours this morning &, hopefully, on their way tomorrow:

1 x FC Model Trend 1/35 Honda CG 125 "Afghan Steed of War" (FC-37087) - another common type of motorcycle in 1/35 for post-apocalypse dioramas.
1 x Aerobonus 1/48 WWII Royal Australian Air Force Fighter Pilot No.2 (1 Figure) (ARB-480146) - possibly because I build a lot of Australian 1/48 aircraft subjects.
2 x FC Model Trend 1/35 FJM 148 Javelin (FC-37100) - who doesn't want more St Javelins?
1 x FC Model Trend 1/35 NLAW Anti-tank Guided Missile (FC-37101) - don't know why you'd want iNLAWs when you have St Javelin but, well, they were there.
1 x AK-Interactive 1/35 FJ43 Pickup with SPG-9, Recoilless Gun (AK-35003) - it's a LandCruiser!
1 x AK-Interactive 1/35 FJ43 Pickup with DShKM (AK-35002) - it's another LandCruiser!
2 x Kamizukuri 1/48 British Aircraft Standard Seat Belt (for 4 Planes) (KFP-15 - they look good in the pic's.
1 x Kamizukuri 1/35 US Sling Set (Craft Paper+Fiber+Metal Parts) (KFP-26) - they look good in the pic's & decent, easy to use rifle slings are difficult to find.
1 x MJ Miniatures 1/35 Footman Loop Type A (MJ-EZ35016) - foot rungs for AFV's can come in handy for lots of things.
1 x Djiti's Production 1/35 FJ43 Wheels set Type 1 (civil pattern) for AK kit (DJIT-35096) - because they didn't have more!
2 x Asunarow Model Tool & Brush Stand A (ASM21) - as part of an ongoing attempt to try to keep my workspace tidier.
1 x Academy Models 1/35 USMC Bell AH-1W "NTS Update" - I already have one but it was cheap! How could I say "No!"?

Yep, I spent a lot but I have a bit extra in my pay for working a public holiday ... & my wife's not here to keep an eye on my model purchases.

Unfortunately, to the chagrin of many, it was found that anti-tank rounds just went straight through containers full of cheap consumer goods.

Quote from: Wardukw-NZ on April 05, 2023, 12:04:18 AMI've been collecting pics and measurements for this monster Dizzy..the model is way out of my price range but I do have a Centurion and plans to build one but instead of a 183mm gun ( if I remember correctly) I'm gonna use a 155mm ..cause i have one 

It's kind (and maybe disturbiung?) that I am supposedly connected with this kit, but I am out!

This thing has been on my build list for decades and as normal the ideas are there but not the stuff to build it or skill as in my case in the early days..hell I've wanted to build this even before there was a model available and sorry mate since you've got one you are now connected 👍 😀

Ah,  Mr.Xi's minions are engaging in asymmetrical warfare, it seems!

Not if he uses a Parcel Collect address and gets it sent to the Post Office.

Tricky, but she'll still find out. They always do

It will be going to our PO Box, I'm the only person who bothers to check our PO Box & I'm quite cunning at getting boxes of kits into the house, & into the Wombat Stash without them being noticed ....

For several years, anyway.

Then my response is "What that? No, that's not new, I've had it for ages!" and the dust confirms my statement.

One of the best ways I've found from other model builder mates it to mix it up in the pile..dissappears and looks like normal ...works quite well im told 

Rescued these two from the local gas station this afternoon... both came from Warkit store in Portugal

i had to read the Eurofighter title twice  the first read through came out as " Bacon Spirit"     and i have no idea why

That was your mind telling you to go make that snack...

Why was there two model kits at the gas station? Looks like some fun with those two.
