Bish, the Italian Jerry cans are nearly identical to the German cans. The stamping pattern is the same shape and roughly the same size. They just have the “RE” marking in the center on one side. Just like how the British version of the can only differs in small details.
The Falklands was the GR.3’s moment to shine. I look forward to seeing you build it.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Ye, there is not a lot of difference Stik. Main reason i got the 3 is so i can do one from the Falklands campaign.
Nice seloection you have there, those jerry cans look the same at the Germans one, i take it they were copied from the Germans but with Italian markings.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3
Well, the differences between the Harrier GR.1 and GR.3 are minimal. The GR.3 has the radar warning receiver added to the tail, and the laser marked target seeker in the nose. Otherwise the airframes are the same.
Well, no new kits for me, per se... but I have been picking up some accessories: Italian Jerry cans, some resin folded tarps, and some camo net... all 1/35 of course
tempestjohnny Bish Just like Steve, i don't need any more kits either. But who cares about that Just added my 4th 72nd Airfix Harrier to the stash, this time the GR.3. Just got the FA.2 to get. Is that the new tool?

Ye, 2013, followed on from the GR.1 which came out the same year.
I need more kits like I need another hole in my head, especially ships, but I went to Scalefest and well...you know.
and something to rust up, well maybe not the Nomad.

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

My New Years resolution was to not get anymore kits 'til my stash was under 20. Made it to the end of May. My Ebay guy had an auction and I picked up "these beauts" for $25. They may not be the greatest kits in the world, but they fit in nicely with my one of everything from WWII. Oh, I also have a Revell Ventura coming on a slow boat from Germany.

Nice! I’m still waiting to see one of these pull into Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station so I can get a look...
Eagle90 Gamera Knox & Bobby: Cool! Please post those when you get around to building them. I don't know when I'll get to start on my Jaegers. BTW were you guys able to find Obsidian Fury? I've been waiting for HLJ to get mine in for over a month now. Pat: Wow, I think that's a real vintage kit there! This one? https://www.amazon.com/Bandai-Hobby-Obsidian-Pacific-Figure/dp/B0784QJ6C3/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1527538965&sr=8-1&keywords=Obsidian+Fury+model

HobbyLinkJapan is my go to place for a lot of that sort of stuff these days and my copy of that Jaeger has been out of stock for over a month and a half so far. Guess I should just cancel the order and get it from Amazon- Thanks!!!
Bruce: Thanks for posting the finished models. I want to start on mine but I need so badly to finish something before I start them....
Steve: Looks awesome! And no worries, I know nothing about 'water' effects, anything you tell me would me more than I know now.

falconmod Bish falconmod Picked this up on friday. looked good from the box pictures. (yes I bought it cuz of the box art) liked the fact that it has opening canopies. the detail looks really good, the only down side is that it has raised panel lines, but on a 1/72 even if you sand them off i think it would still look good, you could also rescribe some of the major lines. John i will trade you those raised panel lines for the trench system on the new Airfix kit. is that the kit they reviewed here? the UK model?

Ye, the Royal Navy one. Really nice looking kit, but deep panel lines.
John, you can't go wrong with VF-84 colors! And for $17.99, a steal!

Nice score TJ, I really like the A3. I'd like to get one in 1/48.
Eagle90 modelcrazy That makes more sence. I didn't think they would be 8 to 12 inches for $25 +/-. You are correct on that. I just measured my Star Wars Bandai builds and the Stormtroopers are 6" So if you have any or have seen those, that is about how tall they will be. I think they are still in the near future for me...I mean my daughter, yeah, I'm getting them for her.

They're about 6" tall:
And they are posable!
I bought this one for my son for his birthday a week ago, he had it built in a couple hours.

modelcrazy How tall are these Jaegers?
How tall are these Jaegers?

I'm not sure...I haven't pulled the trigger on them yet. LOL! But the Amazon description says 2x2x6. That seems a bit small, but not sure. Guess I'll have to order one to find out.
Any excuse to buy a kit. LOL!
knox Eagle90 knox Eagle90, I’m out for the day, but I can look it up when I get home, and post sprue shots if you would like. It might be tomorrow, depending on when I get home. knox. Thanks! No rush, just wondering if they were snap fits like the Star Wars kits. LOL! We had Pacific Rim going as the whole family did models last night together. My daughter is doing the Moebius Black Widow, and my son and I did the Bandai BB-8 and R2-D2. That is cool. The kits are snap fit, and they do look like they will be fun.
