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😀

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?
