Holy smokes Pat! That's a lota armor.

John, that will be a nice looking build.

It's been a couple of months for me but picked this up today.

Those are some nice armor pickups. The M13 comes with decals for one captured by Australians I believe. Built one last year there’s some fit issues on the hull that take some work with putty but it’s an enjoyable little kit.   

Hi, Thanks, good to know about the fit issues. Thanks for the heads up.

Pat

Got a pretty good deal on this one on ebay.  She will be a fire bomber.  I ordered the bellytank from LoneStar models and the decals from Draw

Hi,

I hadn't realized that its been several months since I posted anything here.  Over that time I kind of went on an early WWII Light/Medium Allied Tank binge.

Here's a Techmod T-70 Soviet Light Tank and a bagged Zvezda(?) T-60 Light Tank that I bought off eBay as a batch (along with a partially built/partially damage Leaphard Mk I kit).

Here also is a Somua S35, a British Cruiser Mk II, a Valentine Mk IV, a Matilda II, an M3 Grant, an M3 Stuart, a Polish 7TP, and an Italian M13/40(which I guess is really not an allied tank, but I think some captured ones were used by Commonwealth forces)

In addition to those I also bought an old wooden Comet Destroyer kit, a Vacuform O-52 Owl Recon Plane, a Lexus Sedan and a Bolton Paul Defiant fighter plane.

I can't seem to find my thread on the Moebius 2001 pod to tack this on, so here is my latest acquisition, fresh from the mailman this morning!

It's designed to be used with Moebius' (nominally) 1/144 scale Discovery kit.  I'm not going to fit the Discovery with a pod bay; I just wanted a pod to lend a sense of scale.  And nope, not gonna light it!  The arms are flat PE, but maybe a thick coat of paint will make it right.

Nice Haul!  I've been wanting to do that Tigercat as a fire bomber... and I went a bought one and the Lonestar belly tank and Draw decals.  You guys are such an influence on me :)

Huge haul for me from LHS in Vero Beach. All this and 4 bottles of Tamiya for $75

John, cool sprint.

Nino, smart idea from your wife. She sounds like mine. She forbids me from touching anything deliverd from China until she's has had a chance to sterilize it. New lungs you know.

Joe, I'm intrested in knowing how the Seiran and Shinden are. Those are 2 kits I've had on my wishlist for a while. I just love the modern Jets. I am currently building the Hase A7, same mold, different boxing.

For those enhancing their stash from Asia: 

I went to the local hobby shop looking for paint, but they didn't have gunze mr hobby or mr color.  I did stock up on a few of the dwindling MM enamels and poked around the AK and Mission Model paints, but need to do more research.  And I picked up this, because of Don :)

Nice haul.  I have a thing for float planes.  I got a set of those tweezers too.  Split them with my wife and we both love them.

Keavdog: Got to admit that I had an "I'll be Danged" moment when I saw that Tamiya was releasing the Mustang right after the thread concerning Tamiya making muscle cars was posted. Should be a sweet kit.

Pat: Now, that Triumph kit is right choice. Primo score brother.

And now for my latest additions.

Purchased the new 1/72 PBY release from Revell. This is a rebox of the very nice Academy kit. The difference being the decal selection. The new kit provides markings for an Aleutian PBY along with a reserve unit. The Academy kit only has a Black Cat marking.

Acquired some nice 1/72 Japanese flair via auction:

Then yesterday I had a fellow modeler that lives in a neighboring community stop by my store to pick up an order and he dropped a wonderful surprise on me. He brought me a bag of 1/72 aircraft kits! He told me that he could no longer see well enough to build in 1/72 and since he knew that I build in 1/72 that he wanted to give them to me. I offered to pay him for them but, he refused. So instead, I invited him to come by my home at his convenience and find something in my stash for trade. This he gladly accepted. Here is what he brought me:

And then lastly, I too obtained a set of the same tweezers as Tojo did. They are really nice and a huge bargain on Amazon.

Another already started rallycar!

Stoked because the wheels are what I need to do my Boss 302 Laguna seca.  I have the Revell kit and they have the standard Boss 302 wheels (2013).  Now I need to figure out how to do the gray graphics instead of black.   Regardless, the GT4 will be awesome and we were all talking about Tamiya doing more US muscle cars (or pony).  

They look like the Forgeline wheels I bought for track days.

That's going to be a really nice 'stang. They're also going to release a 1/10 RC version! 

Preordered the new 1/24 Tamiya Mustang GT4!

Great looking kit Tojo...are you going to do a WiP thread on this build? The tweezer set looks nice. Great variety set. 

 

Possibly,just getting my feet wet again,sometimes the build log puts uneccessary pressure on me,we'll see.

Haven't bought any kits lately,want to build down the stash,but my friends son enlisted and will be serving with an artillery unit using these,so I wanted to build him one.

Then these were cheap enough and recommended on another thread,so I got the tweezer set

Oh gee whiz guys, nice scores!!! I feel less guilty about buying all that junk now! 

Some major scores!  I have that Dart in the stash.

Recently picked these up. The Charger kit will be the one I'll be emphasizing in this post however. I just got done with a General Lee....ish build where I made a General Lee as it would be if I owned it. Stuff like dropped down a little lower, without the front bumper guard and in R/T trim.

My intention is to build a Bullitt II Charger out of it. I was given the idea after someone on another forum saw my General Lee. Visions of dropping it a couple of inches with some street big and little BF Goodrich tires with Magnum 500's outta do the trick.

 

Nice Mustang, I'm kinda feeling like building a car again.

Been pretty busy since November and didn’t buy anything hobby related till a couple weeks ago. The gentleman that was running a quarterly model swap meet in Tucson is moving so I went all out.  

 

All that iron will keep you busy for awhile....nice after Christmas sale/buy.
