Opti-Visor exclusively. There are different lenses. I think 6. Depth perception takes a little getting used to. Once I got the hang of it they are always on my head. That way if I need them I just flip them down.
Offhand, and with just the information you have provided, I would say no. There is a very good chance that you would not enjoy the builds, and thats why we do this. Or should. Maybe with some help at LSM we can arrange fair CONUS trades.
I have the 90mm version in my stash. Waiting on gun to go with it before starting. Might be a good year for me as far as AT guns are concerned. AFV has/is releasing the 6 pounder in various configurations. So maybe the American 57mm can't be that far behind. And Trumpeter is coming out with the Russian 85mm AA gun. M-1 90mm that far down the road……..?…..Please.

Here are some photo's from last Saturday's TVMC meeting. Ray Okumara is making templates with cardboard for a full interior for the 1/125 scale submarine "Seaview". Dave Korn built his 1/32 Mustang just to experiment with Alcad. Jason (ABRAMSGUY21) is just about to start weathering his MPCV Buffalo. And my daughter, Sienna, is showing side effects from her sleepover the night before. Gunner Mike showed off his new acquired 1/200 USS Missouri and Pontos AM set for it. He made the hull into a waterline one with a Dremel tool. Pair of large ones he has to cut up a $350 dollar kit. And Brad Belshiem brought in his just completed Soviet BT-7 tank.
This is the only way to fly. I used these on my Italeri WC 56. These are specific for the new Bronco series of 1/35 jeeps. But I'm that with some imagination they could be used for other projects. Click the link.

A friend of mine posts here from his phone. Says this the easier site he has ever posted photo's to. I'll ask him his method. Not sure I'll understand it, but I'll try.
The M-103A1 from Dragon is coming out next month. A true American "heavy' tank. This is the first release from Dragon under the title of "Black Label". Unlike their other label of "Cyber Hobby", which re-boxes previous releases with extra goodies, these are all new molds. I will definitely be getting one of these to examine as soon as I can get it in CONUS. They say this line will result in reduced pricing for larger subject. Not so sure at $69 msrp you can call this reduced. But we will see. Their first 2 releases have been very much requested kits over the last several years.

As always, would like to thank Bob Franck, owner of Hobby Town USA Temecula for providing us a space for our monthly get togethers. 18 souls showed to show off their goods. Andy's P-35 has a crummy but intentional paint job it depicts an aircraft participating in the Louisiana war games of the 1930's. Those were usually hand painted in the field by maintenance personal.
