While I wish I could sell that Japanese Type 5 Chi-Ri tank to one of you, the fact is that you guys are all across the pond so to speak.
And I'd hate to see what shipping costs would be, plus any customs fees, etc., etc., etc.
So I'm afraid the kit will have to go into my model club's auction next year.
Sorry I can't help you guys. But y'all just live too far away. And even if I did try to sell the kit, I'm not sure what a good asking price would be for it.
Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

Picked up an MPC/Airfix Skyraider, that horribly half-built one that I bought a couple of months back is really irredeemable. Still wavering between firebomber and ag-sprayer.

That makes sense. Sucks for them, but as long as they come through ok, all's good.

Yeah, I saw Velma with a chainsaw and thought 'Of course - what's the nastiest weapon a Nerdy Girl can wield, while also getting up close and personal?'  ;D  :thumbsup:  :wub:

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

I wasn't going to but a whole heap of stuff came in that I'd requested notifications on;

1 x Hobby Boss 1/35 Vickers Medium Tank Mk.I (HB 83878) - to be modded into a late-1930's APC
1 x Airfix 1/72 Consolidated B-24H Liberator (AX09010) - it had its faults but I prefer the B-24 to the B-17
1 x Tori Factory 1/35 Sci-fi Solar System & Antenna (ZL-CY-09A) - I'll find a use for it
1 x Tori Factory 1/24 Sci-fi Solar System & Antenna (ZL-CY-09B0 - I'll find a bigger use for it
1 x KV Models 1/48 Wessex HU.5/HAS. 1 Double-sided Masking for Italeri #2720, #2744/Academy #12299 (KV-48235-1) - self-evident I think
1 x Tori Factory 1/35 Girl in Action - Tidder (ZL-GM-46) - another female for a post-apocalyptic future
3 x Value Gear 1/35 British/Australian Metal Ammo Crates [24pcs, 4 styles: P59, G70, C224, C238] (VG-35CW-AC) - can never have enough ammo crates, stowage for the use of
3 x Value Gear 1/35 Hand Tools #LR (VG-VG-3512) - a lot easier than trying to scratch-build them
1 x Aber Brass Round Rods 0.5mm [Length: 250mm, 8pcs] (AB BR05) - brass rod, generally useful

Used up a fair chunk of my Rewards Points to pull the cost back about 25%.

It's going to be quite a sizeable diorama when finished; Vickers Mk.II tank, Vickers Mk.1 APC, Rolls Royce armoured car, 30-cwt truck & Fordson staff car... plus figures.
