Yes, a giant, thank you for your contributions Mr. Tamiya.

A classic Ralph😀 If you buy a lot of Tamiiya kits check out Plaza Japan. Their shipping is high but if you save on a few kits it makes it worthwhile. https://www.plazajapan.com/

Yup! I remember that one Rob. Happy birthday Carl😀

Got this today..... These kits had been hard to find lately, but may be back in production as I saw one on Sprue Brothers. On EBAY they were available, but with inflated prices...Even Plaza Japan has one priced at $ 86.00 USD !!!!! But I found this Tamiya French Light Tank AMX-13 (35349) in 1/35 on EBAY for about half that price😀 I also found the seller was from Mattesen in neighboring Cook County Illinois. You might remember i posted a build of a Lebanese version of this tank a while back Yes, it's an odd-looking tank 😀

Both nice kits Ralph ! (have both in my stash)😀

Amazing detail! Nice work😀

No I continue my Dspiae collection with their: AT-CT "I-Deal Plastic Chamferring Tool AT-TH Tool Handle. A three-sided handle with a collet AT-DKO1 Broad Blade Hobby Knife AT-CSS Cylindrical Surface Sander AT-AP Multi-Purpose Processing Platform . A strange, multi-function cube thing. Also, a pair of Tamiya kits; their Cromwell (35221) and Brummbar (35353) in 1/35 A trio of Tamiya Pro II ultra fine brushes (87172). These work well A set of three Godhand nipper covers From Dspiae , SP-SO1 . a set of Self-Adhesive sandpaper strips. Last' a pair of Hasegawa " Egg girl" resin figures I have finished 2 of these things now. Fun builds

Nice find!

Great Job John!😀

Build's Going nicely Ralph!😀

Cool! That does look like fun!

Nice work John! Cool subject. I recently bought an aires ki 84 cockpit in 1/32.Annoyingly, some of the control levers were broken off and missing..... Saw a Guy on YouTube that had the same problem. Frustrating!

Just a test.....all day having trouble posting images . Amazon Again ( I Think) messing with their. Kindle image Gallery app. Squirrels and a Rabbit? Good! It works😀

Got some stuff..... Well, I've been looking for this one.......Always finding it "not in stock" , in 1/72 scale, in Ukraine, or in Australia. Imagine my surprise when I found it on Ebay, in the USA, and in Deerfield Illinois......just 30 minutes from me!😀 It's Clear Prop's Gloster Pioneer E28/39 in 1/48 scale (CP4823). Always was interested in this aircraft! Wish It was in 1/32......but what the hell Found some aftermarket for this kit; from KELIK Scale Models, a set of 3d printed decals for the interior (RESK48110K) They look pretty good, I think. Also, from Eduard, A set of a set of Photoetch for the Tamiya Brewster Buffalo in 1/48 (EDUFE279). The set I bought earlier had some broken parts I discovered. Last, a set of canopy masks for Fine Molds MX7/k Ohka kit in 1/48 from Dead Design Models. (VM48 O43). I have the trainer version of the Ohka, which is a somewhat less Horrible thing Looks like a decent model😀 I think the 3d print looks ok Definitely a milestone aircraft 😀

Looks like a great kil! Will follow and welcome to the forum😀

That's Amazing😀

Nice one, Hubert! Looking forward to your build😀

Nice! I might get one of those after I finish making 50 or so kits🤔

Very cool. At first, I didn't realize it was 1/32 scale. An interesting subject and in large scale.

As for the 1/16 scale kits, it seems to be a sort of "golden age" for them. I recently picked up a 1/16 PaK 40 gun by Takom and have others. I'm going to get Andy's big M3 halftrack when it arrives. and then call it quits for a while for buying. Looking forward to the rest of your build.

Beautiful work Rob!

Good stuff, Ralph! It's hard to keep up with your posts. 😀 Never tried the texturing thing before with the putty and the cement, interesting. I have most of the kits you recently purchased.... I'm a big Tamiya fan and have a lot in my stash. I also like the 1/16 kits that have been coming out. Well, Ralph, keep up the good work...Will be following along.

Looks great as usual John!😀

Nice! I like the mix of dark yellow and primed areas..very cool. Will you be adding the fenders? Paul

Nice job, and thanks for the info on the Miniart kit. Very nice.
