Nice haul. Liking the Churchill and 38t and Pz II. I like the early panzers.

Greetings and a Happy New Year to all.

I have totally lost track of time and updates. I didn't realize how long it has been since I checked in on folks new stuff let alone, posting all of my new stuff. I am awestruck by all the amazing new kits and accessories everyone has acquired over the past couple of months. I'll try my best ata later date to single some out. 

I have acquired some 20 new kits. At this time, Postimage is not cooperating so I'll get some pics up soon.

Keep up the fine efforts.

Greysnake,

That's a pretty good haul you've got there.

As I was walking out to my car to go get lunch, I nearly tripped over a box containing these.

My love of Tiger Meet aircraft continues.

I've always had a thing for this car, but I really fell in love with it about 10 years ago (along with the Datsun 510).  This may be the only way I can own one as even the drivers are getting out of my price range.  A police version is set to debut in Jan. Don't know if I'm going to get though.

Those are some nice kits there lewbud. I've always liked the BMW and that's a cool rally rendition.

So, Like I stated prior, I've acquired quite a few kits over the past couple of months. Not sure I'll get them all up in one shot but, I'll start with my Christmas booty.

I finally pulled the trigger on this wishlist beauty with some of the $$ I received:

And then I was given this cool kit in a secret Santa swap:

Joe nece score. The Raden is a Japanese plane I don't have in the stash yet. The Skyrocket is such a strange looking plane. It seems out of ballance.

That's a cool kit John.

According to the tracker, these beauties arrived in my mailbox Monday.

Got these for my Secret Santa GB entry.

I really like the Nova you picked up John. That should result in a boss build.

I agree that the Raiden is one sharp looking aircraft. It's my favorite Japanese aircraft.

I forgot to post the gift my wife gave me for Christmas. I guess it is about time to cut my teeth my figure painting.

Congrads Joe! Figures are one of the most challenging areas of modeling. I've been painting them for thirty years and still can't get them the way I want them. But it's worth the work!

Great deal - I paid a little more for a similare oak display case 2/3s the width and thought I'd done pretty good.

Lewbud: I always loved the look of those tiger meet planes.

Joe: That skyrocket is one weird looking plane. Good luck with figure painting, I myself am not a fan of building them but it is great to see others do it.

Tojo: That cabinet looks like it was definitely worth the $125 you paid for it!

First 3 new additions this year. First 2 were a new year gift to myself. This is last years re-release which has made it easier (and cheaper) to find. I'll probably do the Dauntless.

And a 1/72nd Ju 88A-1 has been on the wanted list for a while, so was please when it was released last year, About time i grabbed it.

And i was planning on getting AFV Clubs M109A2 later in the year for the Gulf War GB, but this came up on e-bay for a good price and i thought it would be rude not to.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

I can't begin to tell you how long I've wanted a nice BoB A-1!  So glad to see it. You'll like that Type 45.

I know the feeling Chad. I have the 32nd kit, but been really wanting one in 72nd.

The 45 looks nice and will make a nice addition next to the subs.

Tojo: Beautiful cabinet. That is certainly a wonderful score.

Bish: Choice additions on your part. I also like the BoB A-1. Is it a fairly decent kit OOB?

I've received some more of my booty that I ordered with X-mas $$. All came from Sprue Bros. except the bf 109F-4 Trop. That was an auction win. The GWH Mig-29 was a daily deal so I snagged it up. I could not resist the Skymaster as it is such a cool aircraft. And building up my Hataka paint line. The decals, paints and AM stuff are all for Me 109, 110 & 262 kits I have. Yes Bish, these are for potentially joining your Messerschmitt GB.

I have not had a close look but it does look nice. I have the A-4 in the stash as well and when i got that i did a good visual comparison with one of the hasegawa kits, and the revell ones look very well detailed. I plan on doing that A-4 next year for a certain manufacturer GB Wink so looking forward to seeing how it builds.

Well, get yourself signed up.

Picked up the Sea Fury cheap on eBay.  The decals have the 1/144 VF-41 Black Aces markings for a forced perspective in flight Gulf of Sidra (81) dio I'm planning.  Won't be using the Libyan Mig-25p decals - not sure why they are in there as the incidents I'm aware of were SU-22's (which I'm doing) and Mig-23s

Thanks,

John

Nice scores Joe and John! All kinds of goodies there.

 

The postman brought this today. Got it off eBay for cheap. I’m planning on using him with my current M47 build.

Inspired by Stickpusher's A-7, just got to have one Smile

 

Inspired by the bunch of Pacific war books I read lately

 

Inspired by few bucks left on the gift card Mrs. Castelnuovo gave me for Christmas after the purchase of the previous two kits Smile
