Nice hauls guys!!! I'm not doing an inventory of what I bought this year since I don't really want to know.....

Blackdog: Beleted Happy Birthday and nice stuff there.

DD: Great selection, that Hasegawa Ryusei is a great kit, I need to finally get around to building mine. And love that ROKAF T-50B Black Eagle scheme. I've looked at it a few times but never got around to picking one up.

 

Same here, it scares me just thinking about it.

That will be fun to see, love the Tiger on the tail.

I might actually build it without the tiger. there is a version of the paint job without it. Depends on how well the decals behave.

Very nice. The Russians have some beutuful lines on the planes ships and tanks IMO.

 

I'm not a big fan of Russian WW2 tech, but I do like their modern stuff a lot 

Yeah, I shoud have specified. Modern for me as well.

Yeah SS, looks like a nice kit. Love those digital camo schemes but I think I've said before I haven't worked up enough guts to try one. 

That is a sweet looking kit Clemens. That will certainly be choice when you build it regardless of the markings you choose.

I'm also in agreement about Russian modern equipment. The SU-27 & 33...Sexy!

Gamera thank you. its the only day every year that I know im going to get some models and rib eye steak.  Can't beat it. Lol

Wow that's a nice addition to the stash thus fare.

Yeah, I love the look of those two, my favorite modern aircraft. 

They have some great lookins ships as well. 

Kirov class battlecrusier, almost as big as the Yamato.

Slava class cruiser, one of the best looking ships IMO

Udaloy class destroyer. Why can't we come up with somethig that looks this nice?

Look what the postman brought by yesterday.

I will be doing this little fella in a winter whitewash, no WOTs markings. I'm not into the game because I'm horrible at it.

The kit came out in 1972 under the Italaerei name before the name change to Italeri. Parts were changed in 2016 and the new boxing and added decals in 2017.

Oh and I get a neet bottle of liquid glue with it as well.

That looks like a fun kit.  But....I kind of feel that way with all German armor.

Ye, i have a bit But you gotta get em when you can.

I'm quite new to the forum and found this thread interesting. Here are models I just purchased on the 16th at an AMPS show in Austin hosted by the ASMS (Austin Scale Model Society). It was just an armor show, so most these kits are armor.   

The Miniart Valentine and Hobbyboss LWS (amphibious vehicle with teeth) were won from the raffle, I actually got the raffle tickets from someone who had to go (I think his wife was dragging him out). I feel bad for him.

Also this looks like a lot of stuff, but I got some good deals and bought this for the equivalent price of the Takom king tiger.

(Also first time trying to post pictures. If it doesn't work I'll go in to edit and try to get them on)

Figures I'll eventually need for german dioramas

This dornier kit is brand new, it was sealed but I opened it. Managed to get it for a solid deal at 15$. 

(Sidenote, how do you put in an image so it appears on the forum without a link, I am only managing to hyperlink)

I found a Hobby Town in Redmond, WA. I thought they were all gone in this state!

fortunately I had some money with me. :D

I only wish I had more money with me!

This little beauty was found in a guys garage in Port Townsend. 

My folks brought it back for me while on a little vacation there. I'm looking forward to putting this one together. :)

Great haul, Mike! I've got the later version of the Shinden kit by Hasegawa (1995 boxing), and also the Zoukei-Mura kit that was released a couple of years ago. I didn't realize that Hasegawa had released it before 1995. Cool!! There are actually some grainy videos of one of those flying just before Japan surrendered back in 1945. Just Google J7W1 and you'll get a list of them.

And, just in case you didn't know (I certainly didn't until my daughter-in-law corrected me), it is pronounced "Sheen Dehn", not "Shin Din" like I thought. Some more interesting trivia for ya!

Schatten, 

Welcome back! I just saw this kit yesterday, and was considering it, but, I've been buying more kits than building them. 

Anyway, glad to have you back.

I'd be happy to take a few off your hands to help you keep peace with the Mrs DD.

I recently inventoried my stash and put it on Scalemates... it was about 50% larger than my last inventory and estimate... I need to live a lot longer than before to get most of it built... and still not tell my Mrs about the latest count either...

JOE RIX

DD, You have my admiration. Excellent selection of kits.

Thanks a bunch, Joe! Kindest thing anyone has ever said to me! Well, on this forum, anyways.......  

M. Brindos

You guys have some nice kits! Looks like we'll be seeing some really interesting builds this next year.  :D

I made a stop at Hobby Lobby (I know it's controversial, but it's the best game in town) and found the World of Tanks Chaffee on clearance for a price it's actually worth so I had to grab it.

 

I also found a 1/48 Hobby Boss Sherman for a decent price. I was surprised at what comes in the box! Two different turrets and PE. 

Even though it's only a 1/48 kit it has just as much detail as a 1/35. It looks like a really nice kit. :)

Cool kits, Mike!!

Thanks, Gamera! I'm looking forward to building the Ryusei, too, as soon as I get it in the on-deck circle of my bench.

I had never heard of the T-50 until I saw the kit sitting in the HobbyTownUSA in Asheville, NC, a few months ago. At first, I thought it was a modified F-16 kit, so I didn't buy it - the kit box only showed the overhead silhouette view of the forward fuselage, so I wasn't sure what I was gonna be buying, IF I bought it. I went home and researched the T-50 on-line, and was impressed with what I found. So, the next time I was in Asheville (I lived just past the east side of Charlotte at the time), I dropped in and bought the kit - unfortunately, at retail. After opening the box, I was even more impressed (I'll get some pictures of it posted soon) - lots and lots of parts, plus gorgeous decals! And no flat paint!! All glossy!! Wehn you get a chance, Google the T-50 - pretty neat aircraft. And there's a reason it somewhat resembles an F-16.......

Just because it looks nice doesn't mean it can do it's job well!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder........which makes me wonder why my wife ever married me, as it obviuosly wasn't for looks.

They are far better than we give them credit for. Kinda like what we thougt about Japanese equipment in WW2. Don't kid yourself.

But on the other hand i wouldn't give them to much credit. When Russias only carrier sailed through the English channel it sailed with its own tug in case it broke down.

Easy to see why.
