My latest addition is Great Wall Hobby's P-40B Warhawk.
The box is far larger than it really needed to be for this particular warbird, even in 1/32nd scale. If it wasn't already the case, this addition definitely makes the P-40 the top kit in my stash/built collection. Off the top of my head, I count 2 in 1/72nd, 3 in 1/32nd, and at least 13 in 1/48th.
I didn't expect this kit to arrive yesterday. Got it from an eBay seller in China, and the estimated arrival date was some time in August. Guess they need better shipping estimators over there.
I hope these guys make more stuff. Really nice
Thanks,
John
Aggieman: Those fifty year old boxes look in better shape than the fifty-two year old me... Congrads! And I LOVE the big Spit!
Real G: Those are all awesome!!! I esp like the T-54 and mech though!

Aggieman, the box art on those early Monogram boxes were great! I remember building that 1/48 Huey at least twice as a kid. Like you I've been "collecting" some old Aurora & Monogram kits most recently from an estate sale and I picked up several of the old 1/32 Monogram armor kits. Keep them coming Aggieman!

This just in. Weird stuff, as usual.
The T-54-1 intrigues me as it, like the T-44, is a "missing link" between WW II and Cold War Soviet tanks.
The rest intrigues me equally as well.

Nice trio of scores Aggie! Ive been wanting one of those Monogram early Hueys for a long time!

I have 3 new additions (actually, 5) to the stash. I've continued my pursuit of old Monogram kits in the baby blue boxes.
Those are two giant whirlybird kits!!! I do hope that you have plenty of display space for those two!
DRUMS01 Those are all some nice classic choices PatW. I'm leaning towards similar purchases like Keavdog recently, this time I got a wonderful deal on a Trumpter 1/35 CH-47A Chinook. It will go well with the CH-54A Tarhe. DRUMS01

Again ebay uk have come up with a used Tamiya 2005 WRC Scooby, not in the standard metallic blue moulding! But in white, so it may well be totally different from the box art!
Remember , common sense is not common.
Those look cool Pat. I like them.
Another find, this time on ebay here in the UK..
Thanks Pat & Tcoat, I was wondering if it were a reissue or an original kit from the '80s.
Knox: Those are cool! Nothing like a good game with figures you painted yourself.
My purchases today. I took the day off to get new tires put on the wife's car. Guess I should have gone to work. When I retire in a few months ( or weeks ), I look forward to having stuff to show in the " figure" category. I haven't played any games with them yet, but our group plays every Tuesday, with an occasional Saturday, all day tournament.
PatW On one of the parts it says, 2007.

Interesting. Scalemates shows that box as the 1981 release. Makes sense since it is a Matchbox. The next release is in 2021 as an AMT again.
Went to a Hobby Lobby for the first time. Probably a bad idea knowing I have enough kits saved to last a LONG time but I couldnt resist since I am not normally in the area.
AND of course they had a 40% sale for all model kits so I came home with two. Honestly, it could have been worse. I had 6 picked out. So two was a good comprimise.

WIP:
I never have any luck in flea markets - usually find open box for more than list. Last time I was at the local market, best I found was an unopened Tamiya 1/12 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG for $200. Pretty sure the LHS has it for less, plus I'm not really a car guy...
And Tcoat, fantastic find - congrats!
Wow guys!!!
Aggieman & SP: Cool, I had the same plane with the hunter and cougar! Couldn't remember what it was though! So has the kit never been reissued?
Pat: Ohhhh, neat! Is that a reissue or the original kit?
Tcoat: Wow, great find!!! I look in Good Will every now and then but never find anything but old clothes and the sort of knick-knacks granny used to have a house full of. Guess I should find some time to hit flea markets.
MR TOM SCHRY Great find Tcoat!. I wish that I could find bargains like that tjs

The guy is selling a bunch of models he got from an estate sale. Some are grossly over priced and other are resasonable. He has had them for months and months and is slowly dropping the prices to a point where I can make an offer that isn't a pure insult. Three weeks ago the Tone kit was marked $150 and I almost offered him $120 but decided to wait since he said nobody else has even asked about them. This week it was marked $60 and I offered $40 which he jumped at. He has a Tamiya 1/350 Prince of Wales with the full upgrade set including wooden deck and turned brass gun barrells that is now down to $95 so next weekend I will offer $75. The only other thing he has that interests me (unless they go way, way down then anything interests me) is a Trumpeter 1/32 F-105D but it is still way overpriced at $150. I considered just offering him $500 but am doing better by playing the waiting game. There are none of themon my "must have" list so I won't be upset if I go and they are all gone so no hurry.
Tcoat My second fleamarket score in a month. Open but untouched and everything still in the bags. $40!Yes$40!!

You lucky dog!!!
A 1979 Matchbox-AMT VW Golf kit..
As it has side panels in the kit to depict a Delivery Van, I'm most likely to go that way.
Nice scores of classic kits Aggie! Persistence and patience have paid off for you! And not for an excessive price!
