items arrived today some OOP Tamiya kits, An EBR-10 from HobbyBoss. Friulmodel Tracks Some rivet detail from ARCHER Some details for my Tamiya Comet by TREX and Master....3D details and gun barrels. The Resin stuff looks great....but fragile A pair of nippers from Godhand. These are for cutting tape The Godhand stuff is high quality.... And highly recommended. A dusting brush from Tamiya. I was glad to find the EBR-10 kit on EBAY for much cheaper than other sources. I wanted to build this example of French Military strangeness for some time. I was looking for the Beaufighter , the all black version, glad I found it. A great looking kit😀 The Tamiya Ford GPA was a limited edition kit released in '08 with Figures by ICM of Soviet Tankers. This kit does not include the updates of Tamiya's '13 re-release of the GPA...that included an addition of an engine ( from their 1/35 Jeep, I think) and photo-etch parts. The Tamiya Kawanishi Kyofu....well, I didn't know that one existed 😀 I thought it was cool😀 I built this kit back in the late 70's

Today a third package listed as delivery date unknown this one is at a facility 40 minutes away......where will it be redirected to? Meanwhile, one package, after a week of travelling, has made it back to to its origin facility in Indianapolis. That's about 150 miles from the destination if it hadn't been sent to San Antonio I would have had it last Friday . Essentially, no progress has been made

Today, I discovered that the MIA package from my last post was sent to Grand Rapids Michigan......236 miles from its intended destination in Beach Park Illinois. Recap. Two packages for the same recipient, at the same Facility ,at the same time , both redirected to out of the way locations.

Agreed. Today I found out that another one of my in bound packages that was supposed to be delivered today is MIA. That's two packages purchased from EBAY within minutes of each other, shipped out on the same day, both processed at the same Indianapolis processing center disappear in the same week. By the way... both OOP Tamiya kits. There's almost an organized method to the postal service incompetence🤔

So, Martin, what are these drawings for, a project?

Su 15 and mig 23 ?

A new one..... A package purchased from a vendor in Indianapolis, delivered to a post office in Indianapolis destined to Beach Park Illinois with expected delivery today, is now at a postal distribution center in San Antonio Texas over 1200 miles from its intended destination. This should have been a one or two day delivery...... Now, who knows?

I saw that There is a Replenishing agent sold by Mr Hobby . I found that some Of my Mr Color paints I bought for my Egg girl projects looked a little, ..well, .."gummy". I just dumped a little more Leveling thinner in and hoped for the best. Worked OK.....but apparently this is what to use. Of course, it doesn't work if you just plain run out.....but I thought I'd just mention it😀 Glad to hear you found what you needed! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0030599C2?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details

Well finished😀

Nice work so far😀

Nice! I like these 1/12 Tamiya Motorcycle kits. I have a couple in my stash. Will be following😀

Been looking for this kit for a long time......happy to see it released again. After reading a review on the Perth Military Modeling (now gone) website in which 3 different manufacturers of the same subject were compared.....this one won out. I never could find this kit..until now😀 It's Amusing hobby's Neubaufahrzeug Panzekampfwagen VI Krupp Gepanzerte Ausfuhrung (35A003) in 1/35. This was Germany's first attempt at a heavy tank. It had 3 turrets. I recently saw one of these in archival footage.....restored my interest. Found it for a good price on Andy's online shop. Although the kit comes with individual link tracks, (said to be Modelkasten) I bought a set of Friulmodel tracks for it. I think the Fruils will be easier to assemble. Last, a set from DEFMODEL, it's their Cupola set for the SOMUA S35/Panzer 739 (f) providing cupolas for both types. Anyway, as usual, I hope someone finds this post useful.

Well done Gus😀

Good stuff Carl😀 I have used the dspiae rotary bits. Nice and sharp! Work great.

Your Comet is looking great Carl😀
