This  just showed up in the mail, A Monogram B-25 "gun boat" (release date 1991). All the parts are in the original bags. Nice!

I'll start on this after I finish my MIG 15. 

Wow, cool stuff guys!!! 

Bobby: Got the same TARDIS kit but not the Dalek. More a fan of the original show but I did like the Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones was one of the few companions on the new show I liked so I can't complain! 

Joe: Whoohoo, that IJN Yahagi is the bee's knees!!!

4 or 5 years ago I built the dual drive white freightliner.  It was the first model kit I built as an adult.  It was a fun build, the only part that gave me a hard time were the exhaust stacks as it was tough getting them to stay vertical.  Considering it was my first serious build you'll probably have an easier time of it.  Just wanted to give a heads up.  

Please disable zoom 

I hope you do a WIP.

Have fun with it!

That McLaren is an interesting kit.  If I recall, if you want to do all the engine details you have to leave the rear cowl off.  I had that kit but sold it on ebay years back when I was doing other hobbies.  Really cool car.

Love that McLeran.

Really like that Mariner Joe!!

There has certainly been a lot of great additions by everyone here. I love seeing this stuff.

I've made a few additions over the last few weeks.

Scored each of these off of ebay:

I was rather excited to get this to add to my now growing seaplane stash:

I finally pulled the trigger on the Fujimi Yahagi. Glad I did. Good looking kit that comes w/ PE railing & ladders:

Yes sir!

My Revell Pete 359.  

 

WOW!  They are really awesome looking kits when done.  They are big rigs even in scale!

My Revell Pete 359.  

knee deep in the Gotha scratch built perhaps in August

Nice!  I haven't done a big rig since I was a kid.  When are you doing that build?  I want to watch. 

Yes I agree!Good price with the Hobby Lobby Coupon!

WOW!  That is cool!!

Nice haul there Bobby. Look forward to seeing you build that 251.

 

Thank you sir!  Be ready for me asking advice on it.  LOL!

Nice haul there Bobby. Look forward to seeing you build that 251.

Man, there are some great deals being had here!  Love seeing what everyone is getting.

Here is my latest finds from the PAMS show in Plant City, Florida.  It was a great show!

I also picked up this tardis for my sister who is a big Dr. Who fan.

Those are cool John, congrads! 

Greysnake: Very neat! Sounds like my last order from HobbyLink Japan, two weeks to get to the US east coast and then seems it sat in NY for about a week before they got it to me. How friggin' long does it take to ship something from NY to Virginia? Heck I can drive that in a day or so... 

And I have to wonder if that's the same T-80 kit I built about twenty years ago? I was going through a box of scrapped models last night and came across it so it was kinda on my mind. 

 

Deffinetly going to have to grab one of those Triebflugels. Look forward to seeing you build one of those G. And hopefully we might get some more Luft 46 in the larger scale.

GreySnake and Gamera,

I am over the moon that we finally have good quality injection molded kits of this wacky Luftwaffe 1946 design!  Seeing an illustration of it in a book back in grade school planted the seed of interest in those "what if?" designs.  It almost got snuffed out when I looked through an early "secret weapons of the Luftwaffe" type book that had badly drawn black & white doodles of many German paper projects, which included UFOs!  The illustrations looked like they were drawn by someone who could not draw, with bad proportions, off perspectives, and wiggly lines.  When Huma produced a 1/72 low pressure limited run kit of the Treibflugel back in the early 1990s, it rekindled the Luftwaffe bug in me.

Yeah the Triebflugel will take up some shelf space, but since the wings are high up, the "regular" airplanes can fit under it!  And I can remove the wings for compact storage if need be.

1/700 ship models are the Devil's choice.  The crazy knob goes to 11 with those teeny printed North Star figures, but the Japanese have a new knob which goes to 12.  And I hear they are working on a prototype knob which goes to 15 or so.  Watch the pages of Model Graphix magazine to see how far they push it.  No really, they are going nuts trying to outdo one another.  1/700 is now the new 1/350 in Japan.  Lucky me that I am staying out of that fight.

Those are cool John, congrads!

A package from Sprue Brothers arrived :)

Thanks Gamera!

Congrads G! The Triebflugels are cool and love those 1/700th figures!

It ain't easy.

Steve,

Those North Star figures are crazy I tell you.

Crazy

Crazy

Cra-a-azy!

Lucky thing I don't do 1/700 ships!  I do wonder how my friend will paint these guys.

Be careful painting those 1/700 guys G. They might break off and hide in your brush.

A big scruffy package showed up at my office this morning!

I got so excited that I ordered two Triebflugels, despite the impending release of Amusing Hobby's 1/48 rendition.  The Do26 was an impulse purchase - another really difficult kit for the stash!  Maybe my still unfinished Beriev Be-10 was going so well that I got a little overconfident/cocky.  

The odd looking Cobalt Valkyrie is for a friend, along with a bunch of tiny 1/700 people from North Star (which look like strips of Velcro out ot the box).
