Thats a great haul you got there. Like that Takom Mk. IV  and the Storch. Built the Storch when I was a kid, even though it was a challange I enjoyed it alot.

Thanks.  The MK IV doesnt have and interior, but can have a hatch open on the sponsons to show off the side guns.  Ordered out a new PE set for the Storch, and a request in to Hase on a new "C" sprue. Some of the PE went with the IP to party somewhere.

Heard back from Hase....still available and on the way from over there....8-12 weeks, but no biggie as it will be aways down the build list.

Goldhammer, that is quite the haul! I hope you have lots of display space for some of those... and if your a stickler for accuracy, you’ll want to get some replacement tracks for the Bradley. The kit comes with the initial production type, while the OIF version was equipped with the later “Bigfoot” type. 

Great haul! And enjoy your movie in between bench sessions... 

It came with a review from Perth modelers that give the bigfoot track p/n, so may look into those before I dig into it and have on hand for when it gets on the bench.

My lady is going to have a stroke when I start on the Peacemaker and the big BUFF.  Luckily not in the same house just yet.

I'm continuing to really appreciate some of the kits everyone is acquiring. It's very interesting to see what some folks are finding out there. It gives me some great ideas and insight.

I've continued to add to my stash with some sweet kits.

Scored this sweet Macchi 205 in an auction from great gentleman from Hong Kong. I had never seen this one before.

Finally found the Revell repop of the Matchbox PB4Y on ebay for a reasonable price. I already have a couple of the Matchboxes but, I wanted this kit for the markings and better decals.

A couple of other auction scores.

And then there is this sweet bonus score from a FB auction. Managed to get this lot for $30.00. I've always wanted to get my hands on the Accurate Miniatures F3F-2 kit. And I did with a major plus. Yes!

Nice score. All interesting aircraft.

Nice.  Have the Black Cat from Academy.  Had an F3F that was stored in the motorhome and it got away from me along with a couple of other kits.  Was the one where you could pull out the prop, then turn it to raise and lower the landing gear....really sorry to lose that one.

So I went to the LHS to get one bottle of paint and, since they had a sell table I couldn't help but look so for 25 bucks....

Oh Man, that's a bummer. Which kit was that? Okay, I'm curious, how exactly did it "get away"?

 

 

Had a bunch of stuff stored in the coach at a friend's place in the country.  Her hubby passed and the brother-in-law had power of attorney on the property.  Never heard a word, but next time by everything was gone and a huge new home was going up.  Don't know how they got rid of the rigs (had a D-50 out there too converted to solid axles, leaf springs and a 3.8 Buick/T-400).

Don't remember the make or scale of that kit, but had to be around 1/32 or better.  Had an Oregon kit, Voodoo, and couple others. Was around 15 years ago or so.

Did a fast search, was a 1/32 Monogram kit from the late 50's/60's.  Found 2 on the bay and grabbed one.  Were molded in yellow, red, silver and clear. Figured I'd kick myself later if I didn't.

My wife said I was a "good boy" and deserved a treat.

So I got a new workbench from Harbor Freight.

Get a good look ..... it will NEVER be this clean/organized again !

Picked this up on friday.  A really well molded kit and lots of detail.  I'll try to get some sprue shots later this week.

John

WOW!  You all are getting some GREAT picks!  I'm going to the model show in Venice Florida next month...hope I can find some cool picks like everyone else.

This is a really cool thread!

I thought these were the ones you were talking about on Monday Joe. Great score and a GREAT deal!!!

 

 

Just grabbed a set of Friulmodel ATL-79 "Bigfoot" tracks for the Brad at the top of the page.  Offered $25, free ship and accepted.  All set to make a fool of myself with that little addition. They also come with the correct drive sprockets, so I don't have to contact George Jetson at Spacely......

Well--I can finally contribute to this thread. I broke open my wallet and purchased what will probably be my next project. This is my first resin kit.

That is a build I will watch, and NOT interupt !

BTW: Watch out for those "Dam dirty Ape's" !

P.S. I best get over and check your sub. I've been remiss on keeping up.:)

JOE RIX

 That is indeed a very cool and unique kit Steve. That will a lot of fun to watch you build. Where did you get that anyway?

 

P.S. I best get over and check your sub. I've been remiss on keeping up.:)

 

Regarding the sub. I don't think that you missed much, just a lot of banter. I am working on things behind the scenes. I hope to have a decent update in a week or so.

Oh. You asked where I purchased this. I bought it through a place called Monsters and Motion. Over the years there have been several resin kit makers of this ship and they are all discontinued is some shape or form. It is too bad that one of the major model makers didn't produce this.

Thanks for the Monsters in Motion info. I took a look at the site and found the Aliens Nostromo tow vehicle I would love to get someday.

I got these from Shapeways,a set of 1/350 4.1" guns for the SMS Emden,it includes both the open mount and the ones with the gun shield.Small but nicely detailed,a big upgrade over thd kit ones.

MC...you are most welcome. I would encourage you to get it while it's there. Or it might be one of those kits that got away. My two cents.

They look nice. I have been thinking about getting the main turrets from there for my 350 Bismarck.

They do make some nice guns.  Got the 4" and 20mm's for both the 1/144 and 1/72 Gato's.

Joe was interested in seeing the F3F-3 kit when it got here.  Showed up last night, and started a thread in aircraft to not do a hijack here.

I use shapways for my 1/350 sailors. They are a little delicate to get off the tree though.

Oh wow, some really nice stuff guys! 

Bakster: Love that Icarus! Did it come with any astronauts for scale? 

Tojo: Still haven't taken the Shapeways plunge- but those are really nice looking guns.
