This is what my lovely wife got me for my birthday last week.  It should clean up the air in my workshop a bit.

Ben - You're going to need some serious shelf space for that Faun!

Steve - Breakout is an amazing book. Give yourself some time because you won't want to put it down!

I had a set of good books and gook kits from a dear friend who resides right here on this very forum.

Thanks Chad

Two books I've had my eye on for a while.

These are awesome kits as well.

Purchased but waiting for thier arrival......

I have a couple leopard tanks and a Marder IFV that will go good with this one.

I have had all of the Tamiya 1:12 F1 kits except this one and the Ferrari 641/2 F190. Now it is down to only one.

Ben

Yes indeed that looks to be like an awesome kit.

I can't stop myself,this one showed up today,been wanting to get one of these but most suppliers are out,grabbed it on Ebay,,very impressive in box

Chad,

Thanks, I've got the Fujimi Martini 917 on backorder with HLJ.  I also have the Heller 917 somewhere with Martini markings and the Tamiya 935/78 with Martini markings (which need to be replaced).

John,

I had that kit for a while.  Basically the cars are the Tom Daniels Cop Out funny cars with Snake and Mongoose decals. 

I remember seeing that on the store shelves way back when!

Got this for a reasonable price on a facebook forum - decals are toast but I found a guy on ebay that makes them.  Always wanted these two since I was a kid - wanna talk about ejector pin marks!!! 

Buddy, I LOVE that Martini racer.

TJ - You can store that 110 at my place if needed!

Aw, those are cool guys! Love the Lorna TJ! 

Ahhh don't tell my wife

Went to the mailbox to retrieve what I thought would be the box from the Secret Santa Group Build, but also found that my latest order from HLJ arrived the same day.  While I don't know what's in the Sprue Brother's box, I can share what I got from HLJ.  The first brings me closer to getting the aircraft to finish my 111th FIS build.  The Kinetic MQ-9 Reaper has decals for the 147th ATKW based out of Ellington Field, Houston, TX.  Just need a P-80 and a F-101B and I'll have all the aircraft in the stash.  Will need to make decals for the P-80.

The second is the 1/24 Fujimi Porsche 911 Carrera RSR Turbo #22 which placed 2nd overall in the 1974 Le Mans.  Bought the kit because I've developed a thing for Martini themed race cars.

The third kit is the Aoshima/Beemax Porsche 935 K2 with markings for either of the Vaillant cars. Unlike the K3, they didn't include window masks for this particular kit.  This kit will eventually become the Interscope 935K2, which would win the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1979. I may have to get another one because I really like the green Vaillant car.

Now if the decals I ordered from Wolfpack six weeks ago would get here.

Oh you guys are getting some real goodies! 

Grey, the T-35 is one that really appeals due to its land dreadnaught look! 

Chad, the whole 234 family? Sweet!

Ohhhhhh more nice stuff!!! Love the giant T-35 Greysnake and the pack 'o Pumas MM!

My favorite is the /3. Like the Sd.Kfz 233 i got recently, its the same gun and siilar set up to the 251/9 Stummel and thats my favorite 251. But like you i have all 4 of those Dragon 234's on my to buy list.

They're just too unique to pass up. I was always impressed with the Puma since I was a lad. Had the Matchbox kit back in the early 80's.  If I remember correctly it wasn't that bad a kit.  

Nice, the full set. I don't have any of those yet, deffinetly nee to add more wheeled to my German stash.

I bought the Puma first but couldn't stop. 

Thanks GS. I did see it on the back of the latest FSM, and noted that about the lower hull. I am with you on the tow cables, and i think those headphones are a Tamiya trademark.

I have the newer Dragon versions of Pzkfw IV ausf  F as well as the older, but still, good Italarei kits.   Wow, remember those?  Italerei, fun spelling them, you could do three versions in one kit!  Aside from a few minor issues, they were great kits. It was 1974 or so.  I had just gotten my first apartment and my senior year in college.   Fun times!  Anyway, back to the subject.  I'll probably put this on the list, why not?  I'm a sucker for Tamiya models.  No, I haven't forgotten the new Border model kits.  I only have gotten their G version so far.

Good to know.  I'd love one of those new Panzer IV's.

Is that the new Tamiya Pz IV GS, how's it look.

Mopar Madness

I remember when that one came out back in the mid-90's.  They were releasing all kinds of interesting things that no one else touched. 

 

Yup! Trucks, AMTRACs, Self Propelled Artillery, Italian stuff.... lots of unique stuff!

Nice Carlos.  That one begs for a diorama.

 

Thanks John. I have no idea of a diorama setting for a 5-ton. Aside from occasionally riding in one that was hauling more troops  than a deuce from point A to point B, I never saw what the 5-ton‘s role was up at HHC. 

Meant to say in my other post!

       I got to touch the Ford as there was one roped off and displayed at BlueBonnet Ford here in New Braunfels ,TX. Don't laugh! There's more Bentleys, Rolls Royces, Lambos and Ferraris in this little Burg than you can shake a stick at. Teslas too! Twice as many KIA Souls, too!
