Bish, I feel like there will be a group build in the future most appropriate for it! Wink That Rover looks like she's ready for anything.

Hmmm... A Swiss GB perhaps?  I have much to think about. Geeked 

 

 

Draken, S Tank, Mirage, F-5..... and apperently just about everything that the belligerents in the European theater had.

Nice armor haul.

 

I think you may have just added fuel to my fire!

I am guessing the Swiss B-17 would be one of the aircraft that forced landed in the country and was interned.

 

 

 

I hadn't thought of that. I was trying to figure why we would sell a B-17 to the Swiss.

 

 

 

There were quite a few.

Holy cow, that's alota 17's! And others. Enough to make a respectable air force I would imagine.

Oh wow guys, I haven't been watching for a while. I'll just speak on what I rmember.

Excelent base Stick. Nice decals as well and of course the Saber Dog.

Nice stuff Kdog, I miss the dragster kits, pluss all the other cool stuff like the Prowler and Reaper. I think I already mentioned the crop duster.

Beav, love the BV. I got a Sunderland which is probably almost as big.

DM, the highly sought Tamiya P-38, nice!

GS, nice haul. I love the Ferdinand, Margraf and of course Manfred. I stink at figures but I really need to try one someday.

Well I received a few myself over the past couple weeks.

First off, two eBay purchases and a kit from Bulgaria. I was musing to my wife that I have a French jet in Argentinian markings in kit form made in Bulgaria 

The infamous Monogram B-17, Academy Connie and Modelsvit Mirage III EA.

Then I was at a mate's house this weekend and he had a few he wanted to give me for Christmas, birthady and my 3 year transplant anniversary LOL.

A Minicraft 1/144 Boeing 707 (always remids me of the Steve Miller's song Jet Airliner (I know, it was writen by Paul Pena)). It's a better kit than the Airfix, but not by much.

Next is a kit I have been wanting for a VERY long time. The 1/32 Hase Ki-84 Frank.

Next was an odd one. Something I probably wouldn't have bought for myself but I'll sure build it, a 1/32 Trumpy Chinese F-7 II.

The last one he started but lost intrest. Since my last name has Swiss origins, I snatched it up.

An apperently rare 1/72 Hase B-17G in Swiss markings.

Beav, that is a big beautiful flying boat that you scored! 

DM, the Tamiya P-38! You lucky dog!

 

Greysnake... where do I start? That is quite a haul!

 

As for me, the other day I got one of those seller offers on eBay that I couldn’t say no to... and in today’s mail...

 

 

Stik, would you be interested in trading decals for the Dog? Mine's supposed to be in the mail today and I'm not fond of the Dennis nose art version.

If not, what kit number is that so I can see about getting an extra set from Revell?

More kits to build when I finally get over my model building slump.
A second hand store had a number of models for a good price and the Wespe, Sherman and Ferdinand came home with me. The Tiger I came from Sprue Brothers.
 
Bought something different from what I’m used to building a 1/350 ship. Got a very good deal on the Markgraf and want to give naval subjects another try. I need to get work on remodeling my hobby room to have a display for it once built.
 
I’ve been making an effort to get somewhat better at figure painting and picked up this 1/32 figure of Von Richthofen with his dog by Model Cellar.

DM-Love the P-38! Always wanted to do one that went together nicely.(have done 2 Monograms...lotta work)

Bish- thought about a dolly, but still won't fit on a shelf...will most likely hang from a ceiling.

MM-seeing what they were going for I didn't expect my $30 bid to win. It's going to be my winter project. 

Gamera-Big with tiny parts...already looking for better tweezers!

 Sooner Born...Buckeye Bred.

Had one in the stash and unloaded it on eBay a couple years ago to help buy our sons Xterra.  Seeing yours makes me want it back! Big Smile
