My stash just grew again 2021

[Pellson]

I have built both and hate the newer revell kit, because it is typically uber-detailed and overcomplicated - so much that it does IMHO not go together well. Esp. the underwing pylons are a bad joke. The older Italeri mold (also sold by Revell!) might be simpler, but it does not "offer" as many traps as the Revell kit.

Very interesting! I wasn't aware.

Just ordered from BNA Model World;

1 x Eduard 1/48 British Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Iia Fighter [Profipack] (ED 82153) - I decided I wanted to use my M.XII for something else, so this is going into the "Favourite Single-Engine Fighters" sub-stash
1 x Meng 1/35 British Heavy Tank Mk.V Male (MENG-TS020) - Excessively expensive* but has a full interior & I really wanted a WW1 tank for the Royal Australian Marines





[*: The Tamiya Mk.IV kit is even more expensive & it's a stupid bloody motorised toy kit! ]

Unexpectedly won a Dragon 1/72 PzBeobWg. V Ausf. G (basically a Panther with a Panzer IV turret) at ev!lbay for just EUR 7,-.

I always thought that vehicle was a comand tank for Artillery units with a dummy gun and turret.

Normally it would be but this is a "special" one-off vehicle which saw (supposedly) limited service on the Eastern Front...

I bought a 1/25th scale IH 4300 truck kit for $20 at a local discount store. Then at my club meeting I picked up a Tamiya Abrams and a WW2 jeep kits for $5 a piece. Can't pass that up!

Ah, a WHIFF.... maybe I should dig out my 1/35 kit and work on that as well. On second thoughts, not too much into armour at the moment so I will stick to working on the pile of partly built kits on my bench.

I thought a cat had walked over the keyboard when I read it!

Just received a couple of eBay purchases

1 x 1/72 Special Hobby Ju 388 J

1 x 1/72 Special Hobby Ju 388 K/L

Both kits have yellowed canopies but I am sure I have spares in my stash. The J will be more whiff than just making it an operational aircraft, thinking of a FuG 240 radar. The K/L will be one or the other, depends what I do the other kit I have as.

I'd forgotten all about that kit. Does it come with a couple of figures, or was that another Tamiya motorized "special" back in the day ?

With figures.

With figures.

AND a motor? 

Does it go too?

They are not exactly cheap. I managed to get mine for what I considered a reasonable price although they usually got for over £100.

Well, ordered another Hawk, this time it's the airfix 1/72 hawk 100. To keep it in good company, there's an italeri 1/72 F-5E coming with it.
