I need to get over to HL in the next few weeks and check out their star wars stuff...

From memory, 1/48 snow speeder and AT-ST, 1/72 scale Y-Wing, TIE Striker, TIE Interceptor, Boosted X-Wing, double kit 1/72 & 1/144 scale original X-Wing. I've heard there is also an A-Wing, but haven't seen it or the First Order TIEs in 1/72.

Awesome way to get high quality kits to youngsters.

Yes it is... and for a reasonable price...

Cool thread!  I love to see what everyone is buying.

I just stumbled accross the 1/200 Hasegawa Navy 737 C-40A Clipper - never new it existed and I had just finished a 737 not to long ago and loved the build and scale. 

The Roden T-28 is something I've wanted to do for a while.  Dissappointed that promenant exhaust black paint on the fuselage is not a decal... otherwise nice looking kit.

Just picked these 2 up at the LHS. Both for  $40

Great looking kits TJ. 

Im building up my kitty litter so got me the Rye Field Mid Production Tiger I with full interior on sale at Freetime Hobbies:

Also was forced into getting this M4 Sherman also on sale:

Rye Field was reported according to reviews as the best Tiger I model out there.

  A model show, online deals and and the hobby shop in my area  had a 20% off sale. I did what any normal guy in my shoes would do. . Bought a bunch of Caesar kits. I'm starting to like their quality.

Jees RX ...... Can you leave some for the rest of us ?

Nice Haul !

Nice haul of Matchbox there as well RX, and good to see some Esci kits still floating about. I used to like there stuff but hardly ever see it any more. But that probably because you have most of them

Are those Caeser kits any good.

I've never heard of Ceasar.  Where are they out of?

littletimmy,

LoL thanks,

I have a bad habbit of reaching for my wallet if the price is right.

Bish and roony,

Caesar Miniatures is partnered with another company called Mininight Miniatures , both I believe are asian in origin. They primarily make figures but also produce a small allotment of vehicles and artillary pieces. Quality is comprable to the other well known manufactures in 1/72.

Some links if your interested.

Bish, 

Too bad about Esci being difficult to come by. It's somewhat abundent on this side of the pond.. And your right I probably do

RX, you’ve got enough stuff there to open your own hobby shop...

 I picked up this decal set before the holiday to go with my recent F7U find. Since I do not care for the kit marking options....

I am thinking one of the VF-124 birds, as they had the crossed cutlass insignia on the tail tops

I aquired these, but going under the tree as "From dad to dad"

Verlinden 516 1/20th FW-190 Cockpit:

Aires FW-190 gunbay upgrade kit:

From dad, to dad....

I like it!

That is a kick in the culo kit! I have it in my stash and the details are fantastic.

Well I visited my buddy  the other day and he decided to get rid of all his Alclad paints because of the strong odor they have while spraying. He handed them to mee for free!

There's about 25 bottles of all sorts of metallic colors, clears, and primers including 2 Talon bottles and a new unopened jar of aluminum polishing powder from Hawkeye's Hobbies.

It's nice to have good friends.

roony

It's nice to have good friends.

 

Amen to that!

PJ, that is a great score for you. If they were no longer of any use to your friend, those paints deserve a fate better than a landfill. 

Yesterday was our local AMPS Chapter meeting, which traditionally has a pot luck and holidays gift exchange. This year I lucked out and went home with another super kit, which I suspect came from a local Hobby shop that is a big supporter of our AMPS Chapter...

Nice score on the zippo. I finally got around to buying the AFV Club M60A3TTS, which was my first tank platton's ride. Although we didn't have searchlights on our tanks.

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.

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

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.

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... 

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
