Pat: That's very cool!

And guys I love that violet Bearcat!

 

I wonder if a slow fried tower would have been more effective. And yeah Dodgy, some quite attractive Russian ladies in that photo, esp the brunette on the left.

 

I'm hearing ya mate!

That's some Chinglish right there. 

John- Those are some unique kits you found there. Very interesting indeed.

Cliff- I like the KV-1 kit you got and the figures are a fine choice.

Pat- That Renault is a cool kit. Another fine subject and find.

Well done folks!

Speaking of KV-1's, I forgot to share some armor kits I acquired some time ago

Joe, that is a mighty fine haul that you just posted. All top notch stuff!

Those are awesome Joe! I might pick up the same KV-85 when I get my KV-I finished. I've got the same Hellcat, I tried modifying a crew to fit inside and ended up stalled out on it. Really need to dust her off and finish. And you can never have too many Shermans!

I'm sure glad this isn't a contest as I would be in last place,... just kidding. I really don't buy many kits on a regular basis as I have a stash that will last two lifetimes. Some of what I've been seeing is really nice looking. I am looking forward in seeing a build posted in the forum for the new Tamiya Phantom as well as several of those armor kits I've seen on here.

For me I got a fantastic deal on this older Tamiys kit. It was something I've always wanted so I couldn't pass it up.

This will look good beside the Sgt York, and ZSU-23-4. 

Wow Joe!  Nice haul.

Drums - that's one of the few armor peices I've built.  Super cool vehicle and the rear of the turret/radar opens up if I recall.

Very cool Ben! You know it's old when it says 'WEST' German on the box!!!

Wow Joe! Another nice haul.

Nice Panzer Ben.

I'm not big on armor but you guys are making me want to get some. In 1/72 of course.

My latest purchases:  Meng F/A-18E Hornet, ICM A-26B Invader, detail set for Monogram's P-36, Tamiya glue, Tamiya sanding papers, and Mr. Color Leveling Thinner.

I picked up the supplies yesterday at a HobbyTown in Plano, TX (other side of the State of Texas for me, I was there visiting my son and his wife).  The kits came from various sellers on eBay (the Hornet came from Pearland, TX, about 40 miles away as the crow flies but had to take a circuitous route from Pearland to Katy via the USPS).

Nicely done. The A-26 sure seems to be a very sweet kit. I have a couple of the other models myself.

Those are both cool Aggieman! 

Drums, that's a nice Gepard kit. A bit older, but will still build up quite nicely.

Aggie, that's a fine pair of new kits that you scored!

As for me... Hello friend! (says I to the bringer of good things) Our mailman brought my two latest purchases over the past couple of days.

First up, an Eduard La-7 to replace my old one that did not make the move from CA to AZ.

second up, a set of decals  for the Hobbyboss M706 in my stash. I love the Snoopy “nose art”.

That’s all for now…

Very cool SP. I really like the La-7, I have one in my stash somewhere. And love that it's a 'Weekend' kit, all the stuff you need to assemble the kit like canopy masks and a small fret of PE but not a pile of the stuff.

Thanks G. I'm with you on the La-7, a really good looking fighter! And on the Eduard Weekend Edition kits. But none of the ones in my stash have any masks, PE, or similar such goodies, only the basic plastic sprues and usually just one markings option. 

Maybe I'm thinking of the Eduard standard kits. I was thinking they did come with the canopy masks, my mistake...

I do like the looks of that La-7.

Ordred this christmas tree for posing pictures of my drag cars - should be fun.

This was 'technically' ordered by me, but my wife is giving it to me for my birthday next month 

The just released Meng 1/24 GT40.  Can't wait!

Really must start following this thread. Lots of cool stuff on this page alone.

That's the way it is here at my house. I give here a list to choose from because I really do want to be surprized and she tells me to go ahead and order somthing and she'll pay me back. That's not as nearly as much fun.

Love that La-7. It was one of my first models that I built all by myself. Bought it in Hungary while visiting relatives. Kits were hard to come by those days, back in 70s.

Just picked this up from my LHS.  Going to do the scheme of the lower pictured plane.  Never done a 1/48 109  only 1/72

Hi;

    I think the only one of those I have built was the Old Aurora kit, Many, many Moons ago.

Yeap, something like that here. I ordered a boatload of stuff from HLJ for my birthday next month. I'm going to leave the box unopened till then.

Very cool Keav John and Falcon John!!!

I was looking at the photo thinking "I don't see parts for a pine tree ANYWHERE!  Is it the green paint on the cutting mat?"    Sad but true.  I'd blame it on Mondays, but it's Friday so...

John, that's a very cool looking GT and light Christmas tree. The perfect accessory for posing with your car builds!

Castel, the La-7 is just a good looking fighter. The ultimate WWII version of that family.

Falcon, you're gonna love that Eduard Gustav. I think that the only better kit of that version out there is the new Tamiya kit... and then just maybe...

After waiting since January this turned up yesterday.  On hearing that Airfix were re-issuing a range of 'Vintage Classics' I ordered one and now seeing it in the grey flesh I've ordered another. In my latest regime of not painting the body will be the grey plastic and it will be raised up off the chassis for more ground clearance..

I will also try and scratchbuild a hood/top for it.

That looks like a neat one PatW. I'm excited at the new you bring concerning the return of some Airfix classics. Wasn't there a version of the Myers Manx in 1/24 or 25 some time ago? 

That will be a fun build.

Ben

I got another bust finished a few weeks back, not taken the pics of it yet. I decided to replace it with a new one, and for a change i'm bying a Youngs bust myself rather than the Mrs buying me one for my birthday. I was drawn to this one when i first saw it as the vehicle side is a 251.

Of course what i had not considered is that i will have to paint the map. That should be fun.

Pat: That's really cool! So many options, you could even build a surf board to attach to the roof. 

Bish: Very cool too! Looking forward to seeing the bust you finished posted. This one's going to be a fun one to paint, love the camo cover. I wonder if you could just cut out a map printed off the internet and cement it over the resin one? Please let us know how you work this out Bish. 

That looks great Bish. As far as the map goes however, I'm with Gamera. Looking forward to seeing the finished model.
