Looking Amazing Rob!

Actually, I only kid myself that I have hair.....only random tufts here and there on my balding head resembling in effect....a fledgling owl.

Sorry to hear of your troubles, Chris. I hope the procedure brings you relief, and you are soon on the path to recovery. As to getting old, my own remedy for this is to avoid looking into the mirror very often.....but because of this my hair always looks a mess

Sorry to hear of this. I hope you're on the way to recovery soon.

Nice! Worthy of a long build log!

Oh, I see. Still pretty nice. I bought a Takom boxing that had two Complete panzer 1's, a a and b model. When I opened the box I discovered that panzer 1 tanks in 1/35 are tiny....so the double boxing seemed appropriate.

Nice haul Peter! Cool that's a 2-in-1 boxing. Will this be your group build offering?

Some items today..... From AFV Modeller, some resin replacement road wheels for the Das Werk StuG III G in 1/16 (AFV-16052). The road wheels in the kit are a bit of a struggle to put together with their overly tight tire fit. These are better detailed, with manufacturer and size detail on the tires. I wasn't thrilled about the price , however. Also, from Eduard, a set of masks for the Tamiya 1/48 IL-2 Stormovik (EX703) . Last, from Excel 3 sets of plastic clamps (55663). 'Saw these in a model build video.....thougt they might be useful.

Looks Great!

I built that Otaki Corsair kit back when I was in College......back in about '84 or thereabouts. Cool to see!

What colors do you suggest?

This one..... Interesting desert cammo...

Looking good, well, great actually! How about adding a motorcycle with side car? Oh, I see you have a parked one already.

How about this perhaps?

Thanks, Hubert, but really I was just Kidding!

No "Egg Girls" today but four items from PlazaJapan. First Three items from Tamiya. 1. M4A3 Sherman w/Single Motor (30056) in 1/35. Just a bit of fun. Interesting note; the tracks do not need to be glued on the ends.....they appear to be molded in one piece, and look good. 2. Ilyushin IL-2 Shturmovik (61113) in 1/48. Not the combo boxing with the GAZ, I've been wanting this one for some time. 3. Sturmgeschutz III Ausf.B (35281) in 1/35. This kit includes photo-etch and metal barrel. Last, from FineMolds, their Imperial Japanese Army Type 94 6-Wheeled Truck "Hard Top" (FM30) in 1/35. Just thought it looked interesting.

I could do a beach scene featuring a bikini clad Hasegawa "Egg Girl". No ? O.k., probably not a good idea😀

Nice to see one of these built. I had the kit years ago and for some reason I decided it couldn't be built, and never started it.

Apparently, the enamel paints aren't sold in the US, at least nobody stocks them here as far as I know

Nice work. Tamiya still has the larger bottles. The smaller bottles being descrbed as mini. Their lacquers are sold in the smaller bottles. The annoying thing is that when they introduce a new color, it's always in the smaller size....don't know why.

Wow! Amazing realism and attention to detail. Truly mind blowing !

Sad to hear....My best wishes and condolences to his family and friends.

Looks like an exciting project coming along nicely!

Yup, the kit has decals for that one.

Items today. From Tamiya their B1 bis German Army Panzerkampfwagen B2 740 (f) (35287). In1/35. This is an out of production kit and hard to find. It offers Decal options and parts not found in the other boxings. A different turret cupola , concrete armor, tools, and etc are included. I've been looking for this version for some time. Next, a couple more "Egg Girls" from Hasegawa . These are both out of production kits and in this country are only found at often inflated prices. I found these two on Ebay from a Japanese seller for a very reasonable price. I know, these things are not for everyone here, but I like them. Next, a couple of items from the Brothers Sprue. For my recently purchased Hasegawa ki 84, a set of decals from ASK. The Hinamaru of the Hasegawa required overlapping a white circle decal with a red circle decal to get the white bordered hinamaru........stupid! Anyway, the options on this decal sheet look cool. I also bought some masks by Eduard for my Tamiya 1/32 A6M2 zero. The Tamiya kit includes masks but they need to be cut out .
