Gamera A couple things I ordered from HLJ came into stock. And they had a really nice spring sale so I splurged... Two new British heavies: Two Free Chinese/ Taiwonese AFVs: And another Japanese paper panzer:

Thanks guys, I've become a big fan of Takom and Amusing. They make great stuff!
And funny you should bring it up Gary- I gave my hands a good washing after I'd handled everything...

Well yesterday was an interesting experience for purchasing. I had to go back to CA to take care of some final business for work. Last week had received an email from one of my favorite shops that they were doing back door pick ups like restaurants are doing currently. Phone in your order and if they have it in stock, they will bag it up and have it waiting at the back door. Pay by card when the order is placed. I placed my order as I entered the state, and although they did not have all that I wanted, it was mostly on hand, and a couple hours later I was at their back door. They asked my name, then handed me my bagged order then the security gate after saying my name. It felt like some illicit transaction in a humorous way...
And I will say, for a place that is on “shelter at home” orders except for essential workers and businesses, yes the freeway traffic was markedly lower than usual, there are way more people out there who are obviously disregarding the directives. All sorts of play stuff: campers, bikes, off road stuff, boats, is being hauled here, there, and everywhere during my 18 hours or so in the area.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

I just finished a build so it was time to order paint for the next. A zombie hunter jumped in the shopping cart too. I'm excited to try out a resin figure. I'm extremely thankful for my paycheck. Also thankful to be able get my hands on model paint during this insanity.

Lol! That figure is rather appropriate for today’s madness! I love it!
The postman dropped this off today...
As usual, some mighty nice being added on here.
Gamera, That is real nice selection of tanks you acquired.
I've added a few recently.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Joe, I dig the Vega. Would look good with my Pinto!

Oh those are cool guys!
Ted: Love that zombi hunter!
Joe: Love the Tone and the Gripen too! Although I will admit to not having good luck with Kopro kits in the past...
Yet another deal from ebay UK..................
Remember , common sense is not common.

That is interesting to know about the Kopro kits Gam. I'd never heard of them but, since it was an interesting subject w/ the splinter pattern I bought it on a whim. I'd read somewhere that it was possibly a rebox of the Italeri mold but. I'm not sure about that. Out of the box it appears to have some nice detail and fine panel lines.
That's a unique find Pat. Well done.
PatW Yet another deal from ebay UK..................
Yeah, that's cool! I don't think I've even heard of that brand. The Re-2000 was a very nice looking fighter though!

I hope she goes together for you without any issues. Being Italeri is a good sign. I fought with a couple kits from the Warsaw Pact back in the '80s and '90s and am not eager to repeat the experience. Guess I've devolved from a modeler down to an assembler- I just don't have the patience I used to have.
I've been wanting to try a Zukei Mura kit, and good 'ol Toshi whetted my appetite even more a few years ago when Mrs Toshi got one for him and he did a WIP so we could watch.
I finally used the current situation as my rationalization to splurge. I added a metal strut and color cockpit PE set.
PS, it's been a few decades since I attempted a 'modern' fighter, so I'll probably need some help from y'all.
Whoa Ho! That's a beauty Greg. I am so looking forward to you putting that to the bench and putting your vast skills to it.
Yeah, big congrads Greg!!!
They make beautiful stuff!
Nice Greg! I've never built one of their kits either.
Joe, Cliff, John....
Nice of you to take the time to comment on my splurge, thanks!
Joe, 'vast skills', I think you may have me confused with somebody who has a clue what they are doing, but I sure do appreciate your encouragment.
This is a great thread. Joe, love the rat trap!
These choice items arrived today. The "Fleet Arm" Corsair is very welcome addition to my substantial Corsair stash.
That Fairlane is on my wish list!
Ran out of CO2 and my local gas shop is closed due to COVID-19. So.....
Back in business. $96 shipped with an airbrush (which will go to my wife). We'll see how this compares to CO2 (which I WILL go back to)... just can't imagine going 45 days without airbrushing anything
Keavdog, Bummer you had no access to CO2 but, nice score to keep you in business. Not being able to airbrush during lockdown would certainly be catastrophic.
I've been wanting this particular Fairlane kit myself for some time. Got it on ebay for $20.00 on a "make an offer" shot
Thanks Joe, got to keep on building!
Joe, I didn't know you were a big Corsair fan. I like them too.
I often get on nostalgia kicks for kits and companies no longer available. It's neat that AMT are still pretty much readily available.
John, great choice on the compressor, I think you are going to love it. I have pretty much the same compressor, but without the tank. I have tank envy. I want one and I think you paid less for your whole setup than I did my tankless compressor.
If it is the same as mine, it is whisper quiet. Have you fired it up yet?
BTW, do you have a model or link for that compressor? You have my gears grinding......
GregJoe, I didn't know you were a big Corsair fan. I like them too.
Yeah, the Corsair and the PBY Catalina are my favorites. I currently have 15 different Corsair kits. And to think, I still have yet to get either of the beautiful 1/32 Tamiya Corsairs. Yet.
