Thanks. I see that Sprue Brothers also has both these. I just ordered a Trumpeter BTR 80a Russian Apc from Hobbylinc. I noticed that modern Russian equipment on some online stores is being sold out, especially the btr 80 by Trumpeter. So I grabbed one. I'll probably grab another CSM kit this week.

Well they finally came after a few months. The replacement decals for Takom's kit #2009, ...the MK IV female kit. I contacted Takom's by email almost three months ago. I didn't hear back from them for awhile, about a month, then I got an email from A person named Nikki stating that she'll ship some out if they are in stock. More waiting. Then an email stating that they were in stock and she would ship them. Six weeks later They're here. As you can see, the address from Nikki, the Takom girl, is a bit silly.

Got this today; A Miniart Austin armoured car in 1/35 scale. Looks like a great kit. One exception however; the builder is required to cut tiny rivet heads off a Sprue and glue them on the model in some places. I've done this in 1/16 scale without any problems but in 1/35 scale those rivet heads look awfully small. Still, I think this will build up to be a great looking model and will be well worth the effort.

Looks great so far!

Great work on that butcher bird Rod!

Cool. I went shopping online today looking for the Copper State Romfell.Couldn't find one. Instead, I purchased their Russian RB armoured car. I'm also interested in their Italian armoured car or the Canadian one, or both!

I've purchased a miniart Austin amoured car, but I don't think I'll be able to participate in this build as I have many projects started now and now a build queue that won't allow this. I don't understand how there can be controversy or a " thin line" regarding this group build. This is a group build supporting Ukraine manufacturers. Their products may not be available in the future. This is a historic moment in history between good and evil. And I believe that our support of Ukraine manufacturers is good.we can only hope that these kits will be available in the future. I will be following this group build and I hope I may participate. At the start of the new week I may purchase one of the Miniart autogyro kits, they look very tempting.

This came today: A Copper State Models Belgian Minerva Armoured car in 1/35 scale. Looks like a nice kit. Also have an Austin armoured car from Miniart coming. Just had a look in the box; Very nicely packaged, A thick instruction manual with lots of text and photos, finely molded parts, and great detail.One thing however, this is going to be a small model when built up.

Working on this little Tamiya BT-7. Still have the tracks to do. I haven't worked with link & length tracks before, but this little beast could run without it's tracks.

Cool build. I'm following.

I have a Miniart 1/35 Triebflügel .Would that do?

Watching this one for sure!

I think I have a couple ICM kits a i153 biplane and a ww1 truck of some kind. Neither has anything to do with this conflict. Today I looked at one of their figure kits; A Roman Centurion figure in 1/16. It looks like a fun build,but I think it would look silly to include here.

Another figure. A Classy Hobby German tanker.

Handsome build of an iconic bird.

Breathtaking! It's beautiful!

Great job! Nicely done.

Some more progress on the figure.

This will be cool to follow ! I always wished I had the skill to build such a kit.

Thanks, He actually looks better " in person " (so did Bronson).. I never get pictures right.

Working on another figure. Again, another Trumpeter 1/16 Soviet ww2 tanker. Woking on the head.

Looking terrific Gary! Very impressive work on the tank and figures. Well done indeed!

It's odd, how often the books featured exactly match my Amazon browsing history. Often in sequence. Weird?

I recently read the book Ace of Aces. It was about Pat Pattle, the South African Ace who flew Gladiators and later, hurricanes. It mentioned that one of the aircraft he encountered was the Fiat CR. 42. I'll be following your build.

Well, not exactly. I chose this figure as a companion to one of the big Trumpeter T34s I have yet to build. I like his goofy looks.
