Some stuff I've been gathering up for an upcoming build

And a kit I've been waiting to get for some time....

First, the kit. It's Gecko Models Pz. Kpfw (Sd.Kfz.121) Ausf. A/B/C in 1/16 scale.

If I remember, this kit was announced by Gecko about a year ago......then nothing. It eventually became available at

some overseas shops with high shipping making it out of reach for me.Then, I saw it on Andy's site at a "reasonable" price....I bought it😀

 

Next, some items I've been accumulating for My Hobby Boss1/16 panzer 38 (t) build. The kit includes an engine, so I gathered up

some wires, tubing, an ignition coil, battery terminal lugs, even a few sets of plastic and resin wing nuts to add detail to the kit.

I also found on EBAY a set of resin replacement tires for the Das Werk 1/6 Panzer III

These are supposed to fit better than the kit parts that are a very tight fit.

Anyway I'm looking forward to the Big Panzer 38 (t) build which I may do a build log. I'm still waiting for some

Hiq parts spring lengths in various sizes that will be used as  electrical conduits for detailing the engine. These have

been hard to find and because of shipping problems have been delayed for weeks.

I thought twice about posting this so soon after yesterday's post, but here it is.....

While looking for the Fine Molds 1/48 kit of the Ohka..I found this 1/32 version by MikroMir....

It's their Yokosuka MXY7 Ohka in 1/32. I'm not too familiar with this brand, but the kit looks OK.... There is some flash here

and there, but overall the parts look OK and I think it will build up nice. Lots of small detail parts, photo-etch, canopy masks, decals are included in the kit.  I noticed there are separate control surfaces though I'm not sure how these would be posed

for an aircraft on the ground. Anyway, although the subject may be bleak, I thought someone might be interested. As an aside,

I noticed that parts for the training version are included in the box.....Although I don't know if a complete trainer could be made from the kit. MikroMir also sells the trainer version.
