BlrwestSiR Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 No pics but I got a box of clear parts for the Border Lanc. They're presumably for the one I won in the LSM raffle a while back. Ernie thinks Sprue Bros is sending the kit out as individual sprues...making it like one of those monthly subscription kits. 3 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belugawhaleman Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Two kits this week and a third on the way. My Tamiya A34 Comet I ordered from Hobbyeasy has landed in Chicago and should be here soon. The other two kits are also from Tamiya. First, is their Kubelwagen type 82 (35213) It looks like a nice little kit. I also got their Schwimmwagen Type166 (35224) Both these kits were inexpensive little kits and should be fun, quick building kits... I might build one of them over the weekend. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 This new delivery is not directly connected with modelling, but will be used for hopefully better modelling pics and others of course. Sinc three years, I was waiting for a new photo camera from Panasonic Lumix, as the new high tech models have video written all over them. With a good price tag, I decided to opt instead for a Lumix G9, the last of the brand ultimately dedicated to photography, albeit a decent video camera too. I know about the shortcomings of the micro four third, like unreliable, slow autofocus, bad depth of field rendering, ... but the system has a lot of benefits too and I own a lot of lenses for the system like the Leica macro on the picture. The new one has among many things a huge viewfinder, which I find very important, a top display, which is handy for tripod photography and advanced stuff, like in camera image stacking.

BlrwestSiR Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Looks like an impressive camera Rob. Carl 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Rob Nice choice and enjoy your new camera and I'm sure you will see the difference in the images and what the camera can do as compared to its predecessor. Nothing like shooting with a new camera or lens. Of course, that's coming from a Nikon shooter since the 1970! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Just got back from the past office. The remaining bits of the Border Lanc have arrived. Thankfully it's all in one box. It seems that Sprue Brothers took the clear bits out and sent them separately to prevent/minimize any damage. So that worked. Thanks to our fearless leader @Clunkmeister for the kit. Now to find shelf space for it and the one I got earlier from my sons. Talk about first world problems. 8 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belugawhaleman Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Another small Tamiya kit today; This time their German Sd. Kfz. 2 Kettenkraftrad (mid production) #35377. This kit was released in 2021 and is a completely new tooled kit. I'm surprised at the level of detail of this kit.....it has 256 parts! Along with a trailer, it has three figures, some photo-etched screens, and features link & length tracks. Each track link has a separate track pad to be added.....they're tiny! I'm also surprised that the kit includes a complete engine and opening engine cover. There are decals for two marking options; a three color camouflage and a overall dark yellow version. The decal sheet also has the instruments. A nice little kit.. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all set and have a double supple of pc. 😉 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Got in my Sprue order the other day. They had an MRP restock so I ordered the blues I needed for my KAI Panther Phantom and enough Have Glass and gray for my two F-35 kits. Mr. Color blacks were just because. Also got another 400ml of leveling thinner. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
