Nice. I built an RC GB R2 racer from a Kyosho ARF many years ago ... Never flew it ....I still have it. Is that the Williams bros. Kit?

Looking great Rob. The decals really bring the care to life! About 20 something years ago I found myself looking into The factory Five Coupe ...yes, it was available back then. I even purchased the assembly manual ..I decided it was a project way beyond my abilities.

Looking great! That's one battle weary tank!

Got these today.......... From Burbank's House of Hobbies a few items: Two track sets from Friulmodel; First, Their ATL-138 M50/51 Super Sherman/Isherman /M4A3-HVSS T80 track These don't use the usual wire to link the tracks. Instead, two of the three pins molded on each link are held captive by a track pad glued in place on the inside surface of the track. The other pin is first inserted into the connector of the previous track. The hollow guide horn is then glued in place. I have assembled a few to see how it works.....it's going to look Very good when they all put together. The other set of Friul tracks is for the Comet Tank. ATL-90 Also a surprise find; from ABER, Their 35l-120 replacement barrel for the Tamiya M51. I searched for this thing for a long time----always out-of-stock everywhere. Until I found it at Burbank's . Probably their Last one. A "hen's tooth" for sure Last from Amazon, a stainless French Curve template. I thought that This might help cutting out some decals that I printed.

Looks great Carl!

Fantastic work Rob. Love the color. You mentioned that you will clear coat.. Which clear cote? Again Number Five or some other choice?

Got this today..... From I love Kit their 1/18 scale Flak 36 88 mm Anti-Aircraft Gun. It's a big kit at a reasonable price of about $ 50.00 USD. It should make an impressive display piece. I'd be happier if it was 1/16 scale, but there you go. The instructions aren't great....they are printed too dark to see detail well. I've looked at a couple build logs of this beast and have found them helpful. It should be a fun project.......And, it's Big!! I also got some more Mr. Color paint...7 bottles. https://intscalemodeller.com/viewtopic.php?t=29068 https://intscalemodeller.com/viewtopic.php?t=9843

Glad to see you got your kit😀 In my case, Indianapolis, Indiana seems to be the new "Bermuda Triangle" in regards to U.S. postal service shipping. Items seem to get stuck there for days, or diverted there for no reason that can be explained. At this very moment, I have two packages stuck there. I wonder if actress Ingrid Thulin was any relation to the designer...... Just a random thought. Probably not... Anyway, I'm looking forward to your build!!

Just saw this...A new Gloster Meteor in 1/32 by Revell.... https://www.themodellingnews.com/2025/02/preview-revells-new-cads-of-forthcoming.html#more

Very cool ! Well done!

Nice! Incidentally, a restored T2 Buckeye is based at Waukegan airport nearby where I live and is featured at our Waukegan air shows when they are scheduled.... Along with an F 86 and T33. Nice of Hubert to include the pralines.

This came today.... From Kotare, their Spitfire Mk.I (early) in 1/32 (K32004). I also got 12 bottles of Mr. Color paint.

Hey, that turned out Amazing!!

Nice work Kevin !

This will be interesting

What ? There's a Tree Disease with that name? I think I need a new Primary Care Physician ! 😉

Very impressive!

Luckily, no flu for me......However, I'm having a Hell of a time shaking off this Dutch Elm Disease..... At least, that's what my Doctor calls it.

I'm going to try to resist temptation by buying only when I complete A 1/16 scale model. Incidentally, I have a 1/32 model on the way....but not being 1/16 ,the rules don't apply😀. I'm interested in the 1/35 H 39 that's going to be released by Tamiya.( not 1/16 again) Seriously, the development and release Times for both the Das Werk and Andy's kits are incredible! Much too Tempting ...dangerous ! For now, I'm trying to continue buying the paint and supplies needed to build my stash. I bought a bunch of paint today and a kit I was considering because the price seemed reasonable. Hopefully, I'll get home sometime this week and do some painting.

At least you have a budget.....I seem to be out of control🤔 I am Probably going to get the M3 Half track and maybe The Horton. I really have to come to a hold on my purchases for awhile.

Another Item today....It's a biggie in 1/16. From Das Werk, it's their Sd.Kfz. 250/1 Ausf.A (DW 16018). This seems to be a simpler kit than Das Werks earlier half track release. I like the looks of this thing. I'll probably buy Andy's new M3 , but seriously, I can't buy any more😉

Another new release! I swear, Andy has it in for me! I'm compelled to buy this thing..... Also that Das Werk guy! It's like a glorious new era of big desirable kits !

Video of Takom's Horton big box reveal on Andy's YouTube channel. I had no idea of how big this thing is!

Just a Pipe dream of mine😀

Thanks. I'm a big fan of the Buffalo myself. I'm not decided on the markings yet. I have the kit decals, Midway decals, and the ones I just purchased. I'm leaning towards the battle of Midway markings...I like the blue/grey scheme, later I'll do another with the Aluminum paint/orange yellow scheme perhaps. I'm still awaiting a Hobby Boss 1/18 Buffalo, but they never answer my emails😀
