Well, I did some puchasing myself.

I don't have any Russian WW2 tanks, so I filled that void.

I've wanted a Pre-E 109, so, I'm going to see how this kit stacks up.

And I could not resist the Mother Of All Model kits

@SS,

That sure is a lot of PE and resin, those 109's will look amazing. And that Panther kit looks quite good. 

@Cliff, 

I'm sure you'll make it look like a quality build when you're done!

@John,

I really wish Bandai would produce that Y-Wing in 1/48 scale. Looks like such a nice kit.

Pinto, that's a good one. I started that one during my Mustang GB and got so frustrated with it I tossed it. Then I built the 1/32 Tamiya instead. Faith restored.

At least it has great box art !!! Lol 

I did pick this up recently. Our IPMS club contest in August has a special category for either this kit or a Ford Mustang. And since the day I own a Ford product- even a model is the same day that Hades freezes over, well this it was...

I may have to call on the spirit of Hans von Hammer where ever he is, this kit is a little rough- if the Hasegawa P-51D is a Cadillac, and the Tamiya one is a Rolls Royce, this one is sorta the equal of a Ford Pinto...

I ordered some goodies a while ago and the last ones finally arrived:

I also finally managed to get my new workbench set up! 

There's already a new model on it, which I'm going to share with you guys once I make some notable progress. (I don't have a lot of free time, so progress is slow unfortunately)

 

Oh WOW!!!

And that Panther looks pretty darn cool too!

It really is a nice kit.

Only the running gear is bothering me a bit. I'm sure it's my fault, but the "working" suspension doesn't actually work on mine. the arms do move up and down, but they don't spring back on their own.

It's good enough for my purposes, but it annoys me a bit that I didn't get it to work perfectly 

O, nice, not built that one yet but it is in the stash. But i have built some of their other Panthers, and i did get an Aber PE set for this one, but that was before i built the otehrs and realised it doesn't need any AM. Great kits and a really nice build.

So come on, don't tease, whats the build on the bench.

All the AM should dress up your 109 very nicly.

Should be enough for 3 of them 

One of our modeling clubs older members is moving and has some health issues and has donated his stash to the club to sell with the proceeds to the club.....Have told the pres. that I want 8 of his kits, 1/24 jeep and trailer, M3 halftrack, 1/350 The Sullivans and John Brown, and 4 Airfix 1/24's---109, P-51, Hurricane and Stuka.  Will pick up whatever of those are still available Thurs night at the meeting, pics to follow.

<kid at candy counter with the club pricing on the whole stash, wanted to get more, but maybe next month......

Stopped at 2 different LHS and got these, the Y-wing I got with a 40% off coupon and some money I found in a jacket of mine,  Ya hoo.  Wasn't sure what the 1/72 scale y-wing would be like, but it's fantastic,   I'll post sprue pictures if anyone wants.

the EA-18g  for a 1/144 is fantastic, great engraved lines and great looking detail parts.

Just got back from Noreastcon, and couldn't resist these.  First British armor and first half track.

Dwayne: Hate to point it out but I've got the same AFV Club M36 and Perth's review isn't kind. Of course if you just want to build it and not worry about the rear deck it's a pretty good kit. 

 Not wanting to pre-empt the result but the kit is unfortunately more like a genetic experiment gone wrong with it having the diesel engine deck of the M10/M4A2 and the rear hull plate a combination of the M10/M4A2 plate with M4A3 style exhausts added but the new turret has some very nice details included.

Went down to the LHS yesterday only going to buy a can of Tamiya grey primer ended up walking out with that plus a Tamiya 1/350 Fletcher that he had just got in a trade. I always tell him hes no better than a bully in school always taking my lunch money when I walk into his shop lol

 

 

Yeah, it's amazing how going to the hobby shop for a three dollar bottle of paint can turn into a forty dollar model...

Not that it's ever happened to me.....

With that 251 you just became Bish's best buddy.  Like the Matilda as well.

 

I don't know what you guys are talking about

Lol, I thought the exact same thing.

I scored another of Tamiya's 1/48 scale M1A2 Abrams at Hobby Lobby with their 40% off coupon; less than $22 out the door.
