I think your on the money there Lee ..I received my Hobbyboss Coyote TSV in the mail today and on the box ya get a new items pamphlet and in the bottom right hand corner I noticed it says Trumpeter-Hobbyboss 😀
So that kit Fred got means it is the one I had  :thumbsup:
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 .

Only if yours was 1/48...
 :mellow:

This has a semi detail interior.  Not full detail like their 1/48 T-34 but enough stuff to give the impression it's all there if someone peeks through an open hatch.

I'm thinking it can be an SPG gifted to the PDRV after WW2 by the Soviet Union which was used as a bunker buster when the Victoria/NSW border war flared up again in the 1950's.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

With the way my hands and fingers are going 35th will definitely be the smallest I'll go with armour.
Even 48th scale is getting difficult somedays..it's partly the reason I've done bugger all painting as of late .

I bought the new released Heller 1/72 C-160, a candidate for the C-160 ASF with a twist.
The kit comes with SIGINT parts and 1968-2022 retirement decal sheet.

I also came across the Hornby Dunster Station and found one that had been started but not assembled. I have the ROVEX station which is in need of repairs so this will be the donor.

Some "blasts from the past" there killnoizer  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

My Bolton acquisitions.

Well, I only bought two kits for me, with a third for a mate.  This being the Revell boxing of the Special Hobby Gloster Meteor F4.

I did take delivery of the following:

From Chris via Nick, the following Eduard Overtrees
1 Bf 109 G-6/G-14 AS
2 Bf 109 G-10 WNF (I really do not know what the difference between WNF and Diana or Regensburg.  That way only lies madness)
1 Fw 190A8/R2 (quite why I wanted this sub variant I cannot remember)
1 NA P51D (again, I have no memory of what I wanted to do with it, but the fact that the vents on the lower cowl are separate and the bits for a UK "Louvre Doors" option are on the sprue, it must to have been to do a really good Banff strike wing escort attacker)

And then from Weaver, to some mirth from others given the size of the box
12 Yes! 12! Airfix Mosquito PR.XVIs

These didn't cost me a penny, having gathered enough Flying Hours tokes over the years (and scavenged various boxes for more) for said twelve plus more to allow Weaver to get some stuff for himself.  I already know what I want to do with half of them, and four of those are going to be 618 Sqn.

Said boxful didn't stop me buying another at a bargain price, but that meant thirteen, so reluctantly, I parted with the cash for another to get me out of the danger zone.  So that's a total of 14 PR16s.  With a bit of mix and match with some Tamiya bits I can get some earlier marks out.

I was tempted to get the B.XVI that Mr Models had but resisted, remembering that Uncle Frank has one on the shelf and I get a discount.

Getting that lot into the boot of a rather full car was interesting...

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards

In all fairness, the box couldn't have been 1mm smaller... ;D
