Some new old Tamiya F1 kits from Plaza Japan. From time to time there appear some old stock Tamiya kits on their site for a higher price, than the normal Tamiya kits, but less than with scalpers on other places.
The boxes were a tiny bit yellowed, as were the protective papers on the decals. Decal sheets look absolutely fresh, though. There must have been heavy smokers in a Japanese warehouse, but this will be gone, when sprayed with the accordingly bought Number Five colors.
For the Ferrari, I bought an extra decal sheet, because the booboo brand decals are missing with Tamiya. I also added a Studio 27 set of carbon fiber decals.
The Ferrari was sold out very fast, but the Wolf WR1 is still available.

Some items....

 

     First, yet another classic kit from Hasegawa. This time their 1/32 P-26A "Peashooter". An EBAY purchase this kit

Is an 80's or 90's boxing......inside the box the kit parts and decals are still sealed in their bag while the instructions

are a little yellowed. Otherwise the kit is perfect. The decals look fine, but just in case I found a set of Yellow-Wings

32-033 Boeing P-26, 1934-35 17th Pursuit Group 73rd Pursuit Squadron decals in 1/32  on Sprue Brothers.

       I also bought a couple of 1/32 PE seatbelt sets by Eduard: (32604) Seatbelts USAF & USN WWII early, and (32504)

Seatbelts IJA.

I love B 17's. My favorite of the "Heavies". Missed this first go around, but Eduard saw the sales and added more. So I picked it up on sale from Sprue Bros last weekend.

And some more 1/72 109's cause I am having so much fun with them. Really nice little kits.

Edward asked to go to the LHS. He needed diorama supplies for a school project. So while he was getting those, I picked up supplies for myself.

I'm curious about the Mixing Colors and how to use them. Will need to do some research.

Lastly I had a decal sheet arrive from Victory Models. It ts OOP from Speed Hunter so I'm glad to have found a copy.
