Great finish! Outstanding work.

Those tracks look well made, good quality.😀

I hope you you and yours get a lot of enjoyment from this magnificent vehicle Ralph 😀

Sorry to hear of your problems.... Today I got a call from USPS.....well, to say it was odd would be an understatement. The Person on the other end ....a " miss Johnson" first told me that she looked into the problem, then went into a diatribe and placed blame on "Your President Trump" . Once she had started, she would not allow me to speak, ask a question, or allow any input from me. I started to raise my voice and told her she was being inappropriate..... Bizarre!

Let me start with a question..... Should a package sent from a origin within the US and sent to an address within the US, be redirected from from a local distribution center to an International Distribution Center ( Chicago ISC) for any reason that can be regarded as sane? You would think that this would be a one-time screw-up ....right? Nope! This has happened 5 times to me in the last week alone. I can only regard this as being deliberate or the action of very incompetent staff at the Palatine Illinois distribution center. I'm fed up. I have filed multiple complaints yet the problem persists .The result is my packages are being deliberately delayed. Really, annoying. I will have no recourse...I am at the whim of these people. I will have to pay more to send by UPS if available From the supplier.

Wow! That's proceeding quickly! Have you been having any fit problems?

You're fine, I believe, as long as don't intend to sell livestock or fresh produce😀

Nice one Ralph😀 I have that one in my stash, and the Soviet version. I bought a set of Friulmodel tracks for mine. Incidentally, the Soviet version comes with working tracks.

Decided to make a trip to Mundelien Illinois to a Hobby Shop that I've been going to for years......since I was in High school....... I was looking for Mr. Color paint........they didn't have It. So I picked up this instead. From Tamiya, their , FIAT ABARTH 695 SS (24173) A cool, little kit of a car I've always liked. I think it will be a fun build if I ever get back to building again😀

Very nice😀 I had a Colt SAA in .45 Colt and a Repro Colt '47 Walker at one time. I also had Webley Mk.IV in .455 all very fun to shoot!

Small stuff today...No models or Dspiae items.. A replacement barrel for the Tamiya Cromwell from Aber (35 L-37) I don't feel like filling and sanding a two-part plastic barrel. A 3d printed set from Quinta Studio for the Hasegawa Raiden in 1/32 (QTSQD32238) They look pretty cool Last, 4 bottles of "Sreaking Effects" from AMMO. I really want to try using these😀

Oh, I see, I thought it was mustard ..........

Beautiful work Hubert😀

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!
