Yes, it has the full interior... It looks good. I will do a build when the time comes....I'm still working on my Brummbar ... But soon! Found a picture of the interior of a built-up kit. Good ref. Pictures here: https://www.net-maquettes.com/pictures/panzer-38t-walk/

Just got a kit that has been tempting me for some time. From Hobby Boss it's their Pzkpfw 38 (t) Ausf. E/F (82603) in 1/16 scale! Apparently, this is a reworked version of the Panda Hobby kit with Hobby Boss adding a full interior.....pretty cool! It looks good, It has working tracks, detailed interior and engine compartment, some photo-etch, and marking options for six vehicles. I'm glad I found one at a better price than some are asking. I built one of these tanks in 1/35 by Tamiya a while back. I like the 38 (t), cool little beastie. A 1/16 Hetzer, even better if HB would be so inclined!

Actually, it started out in Nashua NH , Palatine is the last stop in the mail chain before Waukegan. The package made it halfway across the country before it got lost in the last 28 miles. Packages are usually processed through Palatine in 4 to 6 hours before arriving in Waukegan.

I had a package that I ordered from ScaleHobbyist go missing for 10 days after leaving the mail distribution center in Palatine, Illinois. Somehow, it entered the "Twilight Zone" between Palatine and Waukegan, Illinois and existed in the 5th dimension for 10 days! BTW. Palatine is 28 miles from Waukegan.

Thanks for the the tip, but it's Paul!. Well, never mind thanks!

Can't help but admiring your skills Ron, well done! BTW, I recently downloaded the Plastruct catalog.... Some really useful stuff there!

Wow! Amazing work.

Happy birthday Carl!

Not the Lee/Grant as I thought, but, a 1/16 M10/Achilles release by Andy's Hobby headquarters coming soon.

I really must get one of those.

Cool subjects! I recently watched a build video of the Dora S 55. A interesting kit. Historically, some of these planes were flown to Chicago in the 1930's by the Italians. The Lockheed Vega is one of my favourites... my surname being Veiga.

Can't wait to see your build! Cool!

Another big thing came today.....actually a large-scale model of a a small tank destroyer. Takom's M50A1 Ontos (# 1019). I said "thing" because Ontos means thing...in Greek I think. Anyway, I've been planing to buy this kit since it was announced. Finally getting one. This little beast sported six M40 106mm recoilless rifles and could fire rounds filled with thousands of flechettes....little steel darts. I mean,....talk about dispensing hatred! Nasty! Anyway, ....it looks like a detailed kit and it includes a very nice figure. The tracks are rubber.....but the actual vehicles used a form of rubber tracks, so that's not a mark against it. Cool. Hey, an addendum here. After an unboxing....this looks like a fantastic kit. Great interior detail...as I said the figure is terrific... with great detail..his mouth is open..I never saw detailed teeth on a figure before! The only gripe I have is the six cannon barrels are molded in halves....long seams here. Anyway, it's too bad I haven't seen many online builds of this kit...I think it's a gem. BTW, I have one more 1/16 kit to buy.....untill, that Is, Andy announces whatever the1/16 British/American kits he's going to release......I bet they are going to be a Lee/Grant! We'll see.

Holy cow!

Very nice airbrush! Sorry to hear about the compressor, but, after all, it had a long, productive life.

A big one today! From Das Werk it's their Panzer III Ausf. J 3 in 1 in 1/16 scale (DW 16002) I've been thinking about getting this one for some time, finally pulling the trigger. It looks good , and best of all....it's Big!

That's looking great!

Once again, nice work John.....and so quickly built! Truly amazing.

Been mostly experiencing the smoke as an odd "haziness" especially on sunny days.....makes one feel as if there's a problem with their (my) vision At times.

I have the Minerva kit.....Those wheels look amazing!

Congratulations!

I tried looking for the glass globe.....couldn't find one, but I'll keep looking. For the lighting, I'll just cobble-up something... A led and some plastruct fiber optic strands... No blinking lights or anything fancy.

Two unexpected (and early) birthday presents for me today! My actual birthday is on the twentieth, but here they are. First, is a kit that's been on my list for some time; from Hobby Boss, it's their Soviet T-35 Heavy Tank- late (83844) in 1/35 this huge inter-war Soviet tank that had five turrets.....it was a kind of mania with the Soviets at the time to have multi turrets. Early T-26's had two turrets, the T 28 was a multi turret beast, and the Soviets produced a number of prototype tanks with multi turrets, including the SMK, none apparently very successful. Anyway, it's a impressive model.....and BIG! Also today, a non-military kit of a nostalgic subject. From Moebius Models it's their Robot B9 in 1/6 scale......yes, it's the one from the TV show Lost in Space.... Even as a kid I thought the show was silly.....but the robot was a favorite of mine. In 1/6 scale, the robot is Massive! The kit components look well molded and sturdy but the packaging looks a little careless with the clear parts tossed loosely in one bag where they can be easily scratched. Anyway, the kit will be fun to build. I built the smaller version by Polar Lights about 20 years ago.

Looks amazing, John!
