Some stuff came recently...... Mostly tools and supplies; Some Dspiae UV cure glue. Decal paper for my laser printer (White) I already used this to print some Instruments for A 1/16 M10, and some decals for a Brazilian Ft 17. I'll have to cut these out by hand, but better than nothing. Models;....A Tamiya Panzer I a, and a "Egg Girl" in 1/12 from Hasegawa Some Albion brassTubing and Evergreen styrene strip. Some Tamiya epoxy Putty ,and Mr. Color paint. A call out to Martin for recommending the Tamiya putty. Some Decals; For 1/48 Brewster Buffalos, and 1/16 Panzer I tanks from Yellow Wings and Star Decals. Lastly, from Wave some special shape diamond files and a pair of reverse-action tweezers. The files look really good and will be great, I'm sure, for these resin figure things I've accumulated.

Wait....You can use this to glue ABS ?

Very nice! I'm still waiting on a Plaza Shipment, but mostly tools this time. That's a very good deal!

Might interest someone..... Miniart is releasing a new RSO in 1/35 with interior detail. I know many Kits of this out there are pretty old by now. See more: https://www.themodellingnews.com/2025/01/preview-miniarts-135th-scale.html#more

After looking at the pictures again, I think you're right. I think the bare plastic of the parts may be exaggerating the effect.

I agree about the scale, and I like the He11 ( I regret not buying the Revell 1/32 kit). The scale allows using the many available kits and figures to create dioramas with their kits, although such a diorama with their He111 would have to be enormous! The answer is just buy or not buy what you want.Anyway. I noticed the "oil canning" effect in some of the pictures......Does anyone else think that it looks a little overdone considering the scale? (Just my opinion) 😁

Where did you get that big Avenger? 1/18 scale?

O.k. an update on previous post : Got a new battery , ordered a new battery charger....will be delivered tonight. Car is working fine now.😀 Weather? Still a grey, cold, nasty, Illinois winter. Salty roads. I remember a co-worker saying; "But the snow is so beautiful" I answered; " Is slush beautiful ?"

Just the typical winter day here.... 13 degrees F.......only one thing..can't get my car started..... A crappy battery charger and no way to get a new One😶

Are the areas adjacent to the raised panels on the lower wing surface places for inserts ? It does look odd.

Great Items Rob! Sad to hear about Ebro....I was interested in the Citroen; both the DS and the delivery trucks. The DS 19, especially the early ones are a favorite of mine. The Mr. Tool Cleaner looks useful... May try that! 1/43 scale...I think that's about the same scale of the Corgi cars I had as a kid..right?

That's one heck of a deal! Nice score!

Thanks, I'll avoid that Revell version!😀

Looks Amazing!

For anyone interested in building one of these, Das Werk has a 1/35 kit. I looked at this kit awhile ago. This vehicle was adopted back in 1965 but it does look like some of the Tank destroyers used by Germany during WW II. Anyway, the Das Werk kit looks pretty decent, and the subject is interesting, at least to me. Thanks Martin for providing the Images. Here's a link to the Kits Scalemates page. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/das-werk-dw35031-kanonenjagdpanzer-beobachtungspanzer--1476438

Looks very nice. Well done!

I bought that kit a few weeks ago. How well does it go together? Any issues? You've made good progress so far.

I'm really liking this.

Cool! Looking forward to this one.

Turned out nice. I recently got the Tamiya 1/32 Mk. IX. Whenever I get to that, it'll be the first Spitfire since I built the Airfix 1/24 kit in the Eighties.....About time, I think. Some of the old Monogram kits weren't too bad. I remember building their Skyraider , P 47,AT 6, P 39, , B 24, B 17, F 84, F 101, and F 104. Nice memories. Never did finish that B-29 however.

Nice Work! That exhaust deflector looks dead on!

Hubert, just curious, how do you feel about 1/16 scale?😀

I think it's in 1/350. I was expecting 1/200 considering the detail ! https://www.scalemates.com/kits/border-model-bs-004-yamato--1554338

Thanks I never saw an image of that engine variant. Just plain weird!

I think it looks great! Not many could mask and paint as you did.
