Shermie Goes A Shoppin'

Well, made my semi-yearly pilgrimage to Calgary this afternoon to stock up on Tamiya paints.

Of course if a Sherman kit did happen to cry out to me to take it home, how could I refuse.

Well paydirt was struck when I entered one of the stores today. Seems they had just recently purchased a collection of older kits and had them on the shelves when I walked in.

One was a kit that I was trying to lay my hands on, the Academy M-51 Isherman, $34 Canadian ..... not getting away from me... no way. Then, as I rounded the corner in the store I came face to face with the DML M4A3 POA-CWS-H5 Flamethrower ...... for $25. [:0] .... another DML M-50 Isherman ..... also for $25 ........... and ...... the old Italeri M4A1 for $15.

Four Shermans for $100 Canadian.

Doesn't get any better than that.
