Oh you guys crack me up!  I took a shallow dive into the Googleverse, and came up with the following on the DML M103:

Turret has shape problems, turret location on hull is wrong, gun is too short, and pointiness of the hull nose is off.  There were some other smaller things like cheaping out on the differences between the A1 and A2 variants and proportion discrepancies.

Still no reliable review of the Takom kits.  You'd think the Red Line Brigade would be out in force by now.

I must confess that I haven't even opened the huge box yet.  For all I know, there could be a box tortoise inside!

Looks like a M103 to me.... 

As I said I don't normally do modern stuff but after watching several videos on YouTube about the Ukainian invasion I bought a few more related kits. 

The T-72B3, listed as the most common Russian tank used in the invasion. Typical Meng quality plus the mine plow adds interest. 

And a bunch of modern Russian figures from AliExpress. I'm wondering if they were ripped them off from someone else but I've not seen the originals. Not sure what's blurred out but they're really nice figures. 

A kit, that might turn into a Nascar truck..

And decals..

Nice addition Pat, those older NASCAR kits actually had some good detail for the price and could be used for numerous other race vehicles. 

I was fortunate enough to find a good deal on another armor kit and figs. This is really something for me,...building armor. See what participating in theese group builds will do to a car guy!?

Been looking and waiting for this one for a while:

Ben (DRUMS01)

Should be an interesting build Ben

Yeah those are cool Pat, I really like the Subaru decals. 

And love those Ben! I've the Churchill AVRE (Armoured Vehicle Royal Engineers) with the morter but your version with the bridge and fascine carrier is super cool. And that set of British tankers- great set, I've used them twice on different tanks here. 

Garage sale find.  2 1/32 kits and a 1/48.  All in unopened Sprue bags.  Decals look good.  Also got a Montex mask for the 1/32 Zero for $4.  All in for $120.  I think that's around the retail price just the Zero.  

Oh Ben, see what you have done?  Now I have to get that Miniart British tank crew set for my Churchill AVRE!  Armor is a fascinating genre.  Me and my friends call it "cross contamination".

Man,that Zero alone is almost worth that !!!

Ben, you should have a great project with that Churchill and those Miniart crew figures. I'm a big fan of those Miniart crew figure sets!

WP, that's a great trio of fighter kits!

Well I haven’t bought any new kits for awhile… but I have been picking up supplies. AZ AMPS meets a few miles away from Andy’s Hobby HQ, so after meetings, the club will stop in for a bit. I picked up a few items on my last visit

I bought a new kit last night. Well, I actually bought a few raffle tickets for the monthly raffle at IPMS last night and won this classic

1/32, interesting addition.

Tojo72

1/32, interesting addition.

 

Im a bit nostalgic about old 1/32 armor kits.

I know what you mean about the old 1/32 armor kits.  I recently picked up several of the old Monogram 1/32 armor kits from an estate sale.

This was delivered whilst we were in Calgary over the weekend. Yes another Scooby but the hatchback version Sti. I wonder how it will look with factory WRC decals on it?

A box with a big bug, a dinosaur, and a steel cat and man dropped the other day:

Tetsujin 28 (Ironman 28) is for a friend who loves the "Super Robot" genre.  The other oddball kits are mine.  All mine.  

I'll try to shorten it to 90 swb version.

Hey Pat - AK has them coming https://www.themodellingnews.com/2023/01/the-old-88-land-rover-is-new-again-in.html

Yes John don't rub it in! Jadlam models email just dropped into the inbox, with just that kit, Blast! 

From our youngest son for Father's Day here in the UK, another classic rally car kit I shall enjoy building.

More paints from Andy’s and Hobby Lobby… Resin stowage items from eBay

Bagged this today at 1/2 price, already started from ebay UK!

Pat is loading up with kits!

Yeah G, Wpwar, SP, and Pat you're finding some choice merchandise!!! 

Kudos!!!

Okay, okay, I SAID I wasn't going to order anything new till Christmas. 

Well, that's shot now. 

I placed an order with HLJ and all the cool stuff came in last week. I finally got around to taking photos...

Okay, Real G, this is YOUR FAULT!!! It looks like an awesome kit in the box. Looking forward to getting a start on him...

And this is your fault Greysnake, such an oddity, when I saw the Japanese Tiger I had to have it!!! 

All joking aside I love you guys, you have great taste!!!

And to fill out the order, a British tank destroyer prototype from the '50s with a 183mm gun. The biggest friggin' anti-tank gun EVAR!!! Sadly common sense prevailed and it was canceiled... 

And I'm not sure what is but it was cool looking!!! So what the heck, I'm on a bit of a robot/cyborg obsession these days. I need to start building this stuff before the obsession dies though....

Possibly the last buy this year as my annual budget is now spent!

Nice stuff Gam - shoulda pulled the trigger on the big gun.

Pat - I expect a 16 car rally dio with all these cars you're building

I have a few of these 3d cockpit 'decals' from the other guys but I thought I'd try these as well.  Truth be told I've yet to use a 3d decal  :whistle: 

Yes John of course! If only I had the space.

Japanese Tiger,that's pretty interesting.

Those look cool guys! 

I haven't tried the 3D decals yet John but those look really nice in the bags! 

And yeah that 183mm British gun was friggin' insane. I kinda wish they'd went ahead and built them beyond the prototype. But common sense preveiled plus guilded missiles could do the same job. But a friggin' TWELVE TON giant cannon, what's there not to love!?!?! 

Tojo: Yeah it's nuts! I wanna do mine in Japanese three-tone camo. It'll really look strange...
