Yeah, It's wingspan is huge, but, it comes with a stand which is nice. The figure is complete *** though.

Nice haul.  If your post tells me anything else, it is that I should brush up on my German.

Guten Morgen mein Freunds!

So, what are some of the kits you all got over the Holidays? 

Please clarify!!! Do you mean kits we bought for ourselves over the Holidays? Or kits that our loved ones got us for the Holidays? Must be the first one because 'round here I've never heard of loved ones bying toy...uh...model kits, for us modelers. Sad

Minicraft 1/144 B-52 H for the Secret Santa group build here

Hobby Boss 1/350 USS Arizona - I stole, errrrrr bought at steep discount, from local hobby shop

While not related to this hobby, I also aquired a White's MX5 metal detector at half price.

I recieved this very nice Tamiya kit as a Secret Santa gift from a member of another forum that I belong to. The kit is the Tamiya Fi 156C in 1/48. I'm still trying, to figure out how they managed to mold clear and gray plastic on the same parts (fuselage halves):

The kit comes with markings for Hungarian, Italian and Swiss markings.

Meh.... a wingspan on a 1/24 fighter isn't all that huge. I've got a 1/24 P-51 Mustang kit in my stash and that's not even that big. Now... take the newest 1/24 B-17 Fortress kit that's just out now with a whopping 39 inch wingspan. That, my friend is HUGE!

Wow, nice hauls guys!!!!

I have to wonder though, do you mean something you got as a gift or something you gifted yourself??? Wink

I picked up this at our Christmas IPMS club meeting:

Bought this as a gift for myself:

And have these on pre-order from HLJ. Ok, the US dollar is up against the yen right now so they were cheaper... that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!

Now if they just spread out the deliveries so you get them one at a time with time to build between, you're set for the year.Big Smile

Actually it is 1/32.  Available in the "G" and the new one is an "E/F" version.  See the new product rundown video that is running now.

NICE-  got your hands full for sure.  I started a thread on that kit in the aircraft page.  Nice link to another forum on a build of that one.  Make sure you do a WIP on her, you will have a lot of followers for sure.

Hi;

 I have that aircraft from at least three manufacturers , including that one , neat isn't it ? 

 The Two color plastic is not hard but must be totally computer controlled . As to mechanically done , the only time I've seen it before is in the PERKASA MTB by Hasegawa , I think . Large boat and two color hull .
