Yep. Ton of masks, decals, a few PE sets, Eduard Fw 190A-5 Profi-pack, resin pit for Hasegawa's big Jug, and Tamiya's big P-51. Got all but the last two, and the Stang arrives today.

And I thought that I dug deep into that sale....whew!

Like DoogsATX, I scored big on acrylic paints, resin, decals and PE for various kits in the stash and cleaned up with a 1/32 Tamiya F-15C with the Big ED set.  It really was a great sale.

Well there is going to have to be a new award for a purchase such as this. $1400 on models? Wow, that's probably more then the retail value of my entire stash.

I sure did,$330. I wish I knew that sale was coming. I'm already saving for next year,hopefully I can order all those expense kit's in resin ( 1/700 ships ) .  Keep on biulding and having fun.

Well, I'm sort of in a unique spot. I came to NYC for work and didn't bring anything with me, so I have to start from scratch.

I have spent about $4000 over the past few months and have only finished 1 kit so far, lol. I'm just such a tool nut. I want to buy every weird tool that I can find just in case I need it.

wow,good for you,but I just cannot justify spending that much in one shot for models,enjoy.

And to think.. We used to think $229 was a lot.

$1400......that will get you lots of Hos..................

$1400 holy cow!  My wife would skin me alive....kill me.....then kill me again..............LOL.  Squadron should at least give you some stock in the company after that purchase.....................LOL.

Pictures or it never happened...   just sayin'

LOL.  You cant boast about "those rather large" kits and not share what they are!  If we are gonna drool we want to go all the way!

RonUSMC2

and they honored it. Gotta love Squadron. It came in 2 huge boxes. I got a ton of these rather large kits that normally I would never buy. Now I'm set for months.

What does $1,400 buy, other than one   $1,050.00   

1/35 German Railway artillery model with seamless aluminum barrel and cast aluminum breech ?

I'd sure like to see that instant stash.

What are chances of posting photos?

Hitting a deep discounted sale vrs. spending piece meal all year is actually saving money!

The shipping in two parcels vrs. many smaller orders adds to the deal.

47 Dragon Ho-229's 1/48...

or

3 glorious days and nights with Sassy...with a little left over for the pennecillin shots afterwards

..hey this starting to sound like a Christmas Carol on another forum...

I went nuts & bought 2 1/72 Flankers and a Hughes MD500 (tiny little helo, just needed its rocket pods) from Italeri for $24 total, and still had money for a large coffee on the way home. I don't think "Black Friday" is as big & black up here lol...

How are those Ploesti machines coming?  Was it 5 or 6 that you are building?

Ohhhhhhhh, I've drooling over that big box of Vallejo paint, congrads enjoy it!

I did pick up a few items myself I posted over on the armour forum including the USMC amtrack with the extra armour for 70% off and some detail parts for two P-47s for Doogs GB.

I'm shocked that the small items. ie;

cotton swabs, masking tape, long sanding stick, 

razor saw, brush set ,  pipettes, sanding stick packet,

modeling ruler, scissors, etc.; etc...etc.; etc......

could contribute so much to a $1,400 bill.

According to the bill, you appear to have purchased relatively few kits.

1400.00 eh? That's about what? Six Dragon and two Trumpeter kits?

Hans,,,,how many old white box Monogram kits could you have bought way back when with $1400.....

No problem.

Just type "tank" and you'll find all the kits you need to fill that $1,400 order...........
