Something different this time. Not always tanks and trucks. I bought these for 15€ and 13€.

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.

We were up to PA for a long weekend (wife's 50th high school reunion). And on the way, we stopped in Steven's City, VA at All Nation Hobby and Model Supply. It's a nice shop, wish there was something similar in my area. They had a bunch of kits from someone's collection including quite a few of Tamiya 1/32 kits. I bought this one, but it was a hard to make choice. It would have been nice to have a 3-5K budget.  But then that would have been more than I had space for in the vehicle. My wife has commented that perhaps I need a larger vehicle for models.

 

They don't appear to have a web site, so you have to stop in. They're open Tuesday thru Saturday, something like 10AM to 6PM. So, if you're passing by on I81 and the time fits, stop and have a look, support a LHS even if it isn't your LHS. It's guaranteed that I'll stop in the next time we're through there.

I picked up some supplies recently. 

Bits for the Dspiae rotary tool.

Tape dispenser 

On the model side of things, a couple kits for Christmas. Pacific Rim is most likely our youngest's favourite movie so when Max Factory announce they were going re-pop these kits, I put in a pre-order.

Finally, one for me.

Turns out I got the limited edition kit that's numbered so now I might have to find a regular one.
