Takoms, good kits ?

 

I've not actually built any of theres. I do have the FV 432 and its look brilliant, and i have read some good reviews about most of their stuff.

I just checked Hannants, they have a Mk IV Male, Mk IV Female, one that can be built as either, a Mk IV Hermaphrodite and a Mk IV Tadpole. Tamiya also has a MK IV male kit. And they have tracks for a meng Mk V, so looks like tehres a fair bit of choice.

Yea Bish, I wanted the German tank, haven't done a Great War vehicle, now I need an English Mark 1 ( ? ) to go with it. The Leopold I saw at a local show was impressive ,all German Gray, so when I got a 20% off from Squadron,what the hell.

 

I have been thinking about getting the A7V myself. I think takom do a couple of Mk IV's, not sure what else they might have.

I think a 72nd leopald would be big enough for me, i just don't think the house would take that big boy.

??? A Japanese LaGG???!!!

 

 

 

 

They only had the one after a Soviet pilot defected.

 

Bish & PJ, 

Thanks...I looking forward to all three, but the H/T is my favorite.

That Leopold from Trumpeter is on my long range radar, built the Dragon offering years ago but it didn't survive my move. Russia had a WWII defector? AND he went to Japan? Odd.

 

Well, wasn't the last. There was the guy who took his MiG 25 to japan. I know it was a different Japan, but still, i guess anything was better than the good old CCCP.

Opened it and it's a beast, can't forsee building it any time soon. Enlighten me as to the Russian defector reference.

I've got that compressor. Works pretty good. Fairly quiet too.

 

 

That was my main concern. Dont care about the Harbor Freight airbrush... figured I would expirement with it and then go to a "better " one when I was ready.

I will eventually be looking for a gravity feed, internal mix, dual action airbrush.

( My wife will "HATE"me for going the "expensive" route... but it's her fault for buying me this ! ... Next year I will be lucky to get a bag - o - rocks....)

 

If you are near a Hobby Lobby you can pick up a NEO for around $50 with the 40% off   coupon.  I really like the one I have.

5" stainless, and adding adjustable tritium night rear and fiber optic front, along with a TLR-6 lazer and flashlight.  Had two holsters made, one for the lazer and one without, from Simply Rugged---Rob does beautiful work and reasonable.

Normal sights will be sighted in for 230's and lazer for 185's.

Will pretty much retire the  SS 4" Security Six I have carried for the last 30 years

Hey, new toys are new toys

Aquired a new SR 1911 a couple of months ago, along with all the leather for it and the mags.

 

Very nice hand gun, Ruger did a nice job with the design of their SR1911. What finish did you purchase?

I know it's not related to modeling, but I am also into target shooting and related activities. This is a photo of the rifle I just ordered. The one I ordered is all black.

Ye, thats what the builder said. He was not able to show it off as he was under a deadline to buld it. But i am sure he will do another.

From looking at the instructions, and what I could see of the parts in the bag, it is a pretty complete BMW powerplant. Will sure be a "busy" one from the looks of it.

Picked up the ROG 1/32 FW 190 fighter/bomber kit on Friday at the LHS in Salem, to go along with the 1/35 Tamiya Sd.kfz.171Ausf.A (Panther V), I picked up a couple of weeks ago.  One of the few ventures into the dark side.

Judging by looking at the sprues in the bags, the FW190 is a pretty nice kit. Also the only one on hand.

Will put up pics of all when and if the Indy and Bismarck kits get here from Squadron.

 

 

I saw that 190F-8 built up at our last model club meeting. Great looking kit and the builder said it had some lovely engine detail.

PJ: Wow now that's an awesome haul!!! 

SP & Rob: Nice scores there. Now I'm thinking someone should run a M48-M60 GB to counter the Soviet armour GB...

Rob, I’m very jazzed to get the Zippo. Looks like you have a great new kit yourself. I imagine that it is way better than the previous M60A3 kits out there.

 

I did pick up the Dragon Mod B kit and Legends mantlet and search light in order to make the M48A5 that began my armor career.

Nice grabs guys. You may very well be starting M6 series trend.
