Our Latest Acquisitions 2017-2024

Joe, not yet, but i am thinking of putting it with a Goliath remote control demolition vehicle, and fortunatly Tamiya have a new one of those out.

Nice score there yourself, been toying with the idea of getting that Panther, i don'y have an Ausf D in the stash.

Good looking kits Bish and Joe. I never built that Panther before but have always picked it up and looked it over for years.

I've heard Rye Field makes the best Tiger and would really love to get one. The Bregpanzer looks like a sweet variation.

And you're going to make me buy something. Anything. Darn you all.

Well, Now I'm feeling better about myself. Be sure to post what you get Greg.

I just rediscovered this thread. Reading of and seeing your acquisitions is fun!

That there is a right nice score Bish. Have you got a diorama plan for it?

Got me some additional booty in the mail the past couple of days. I have the Tamiya AM track links, metal barrel/mantlet set and PE grills coming for the Panther D. Although the M-10 was sealed it was missing the decals. Through some research it seems that obtaining replacemants through AFV Club will be quite an ordeal if even possible. Hence, I ordered some off ebay.

This one just turned up today. Its not a new addition but a replacment for the old CMK kit. I was intending to get the Dragon offering but came acroos this a couple of months ago. It was half the price of the Dragon and i have heard a lot of good things about the Rye Fields Tigers.

And i was able to sell off the CMK kit a couple of weeks ago so that went a god way to paying for this one.

By access to a hosting site, do you mean some other url location where I can upload a picture? Yes I do. So if I upload it somewhere else, I just put the URL in the "source" box of the insert picture dialog? Thanks for the help.

Fun to see what people are buying. My latest purchase was an Eduard Bf-109 F4 profi-pack.

How do you insert a picture? I tried and it didn't seem to work....

 

 

 

 

 

Do you have access to a hosting site, you can't post pics direct from your computer.

 

Those are really cool TJ. They do have some sharp scheme.

The Japanese take on the F-16... a little bigger and beefier... extra hard points on the wings

[/quote]That some info that I did not know. Thanks Stik

Ok these were ordered in 2017 but arrived today.

Subliminal advertising and bourbon are a bad combination. Or a good one in this case.

 

As long as no preachers, children, or lifetime commitments took place, you’re ok...

Griffin, it must have been subliminal advertising by Dragon during that show.... that is the only logical explanation.

Well the postman dropped this off for me at home after I went to work yesterday.... he needs to make his rounds earlier so I head off to work in a good mood...

I watched a Falklands War documentary last week and this showed up today. I'm not sure what happened???

 

 

 

 

 

Nice. Its the 40th Anniversary coming up in 4 years, who knows what we will get for that.

How much longer after they come out over here do you guys have to wait for Airfix kits.

 

 

I actually have no idea to be honest Bish. I'm going to see if I'm able to hold out until it's released over here. Of course, I've been known to abandon my backbone and cave in. Lol!

 

Haven't we all.

Uh... not to nit pick but 2017 ended like 25 days ago.

I've been busy.  I got the Meng Panther A, the new Tamiya Archer, a few older kits of the Tamiya Elephant ,with their zimmerit.  I used to do my own zimm, I'm getting lazy in my old age.  Also got the Meng FT-17 and the Hobby Boss Panther with 37 flat gun conversion .   What a way to start the new year.  Well I just finished 4 kits so this my reward.  

I watched a Falklands War documentary last week and this showed up today. I'm not sure what happened???

 

Will do Bruce. Only had a quick look last night, but looks ok. I'm planning on getting the A,C and D as well so i might bump this up the build lista bit see how it goestogether.

Oh, Bish! You got one of those AMG 109 kits!! Very nice! I've been looking and the A, B, and C versions in 1/48 scale. Let me know your thoughts on this kit. 

Thanks Joe. The Phantom looks really nice and i am looking forward to the FGR.2 and Victor tanker they have coming out next year.

I wasgoing to put the Phantom on pre order, but by the time i had paid postage it would have cancelled put the 10% dicount so just waited the extra couple of weeks and got it at the LHS. How much longer after they come out over here do you guys have to wait for Airfix kits.

And wouldn't you know it, the new ICM 251 Ausf A was finally released yesterday, so that will be another addition.

Those are some really nice additions Bish. Glad to hear you latched on to the engines and tractor in a timely manner. By the way, I really like the Airfix F-4 Phantom you got. I'm thinking I might like one of those also. I can tell you that one of my next acquisitions is going to be Airfix's new 1/48 Hawker Sea Fury as soon as it comes out. I'm almost willing to put it on the pre-order list at Hannant's but, the shipping may prove prohibitive.

Just got in an ordr from Hannants which included 3 new additions to the stash. I was planning ordering this next month, but Hannants bought the last of the Attack Squadron resin parts includeing the 72nd Merlin engines for the Tamiya Mosquito and the F4Models 1970's RN deck tractor which i wanted to go with the Phantom. So, thanks to paypals buy now pay in 2 weeks, i got the order in early, and glad i did as the Merlins have now gone.

Amongst the selection of PE and resin were these 3. First, a new addition to my modern British armour collection, Trumpeters Challenger 2.

And 2 1/72nd Bf 109's. I have been wanting to gte a pre war model for a while and when AMG launched its range i decided to go for those and started with the B-1. Comes with PE resin and masks so no need for any AM.

And i got this AZ Models F-4/Z because it has the markings for the aircraft rooster did recently with white wash on one side of the fuselage and camo on the other.

I spent around $ 100 for 6 board feet of Basswood and 6 board feet of red cherry and 3 board feet of red oak.

I spent $ 50 for two 4" blades for my mini table saw. One 42 teeth and on 120 teeth.

A couple of zero clearance saw table inserts.

It all goes into my new little shop, and I am building model fishing and sail boats now.

Nice haul there Joe. Those Dragon Panther are really nice kits, you will enjoy them.
