I have the same in stash along the Romfell and some 48 and 32 planes from CSM. Great kits and the instructions are even better than these from Wingnut Wings .
I bought some French equipment and a resin figure of a Belgian soldier along the Minerva.

Cheers Rob

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!

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.

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.

 

 

[Martinnfb]

Definitely Nikki

That's the way they do addresses in a lot of Asia. When I lived with my aunt in Taiwan, her address was something like Block X,  Lane Y, off Alley Z or something like that. 

It's one of the reasons it took so long for Domino's  to start delivery over there.

Looks like Wheels and Wings has the Canadian one in stock on their website. 

[BlrwestSiR]

Here's the Canadian one.

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.

Today arrived the new Eduard limited edition of the USS Arizona in 1/350. The plastic is from Hobby Boss and consists from astonishingly few parts. The reception of the original kit was mixed, but Eduard being Eduard and the edition being limited, addressed most of the shortcomings. There are five sheets of PE, 3D-printed parts, even two very finely printed KIngfishers and Master metal barrels. I ordered a wooden deck from Australia, because I couldn't find one in Europe.

Next will be a test of patience and figure painting skills, with this figure from the Spanish company Rage, were I couldn't resist.
Two figures from Bodi were also in the package, a German driver for my RSO and the absolutely weird looking British Husar, who will accompany my LRDG Jeep along some more British desert figures.

Cheers Rob

Those figures look amazing Rob. 
I got some Russian troops for my upcoming bbq diorama.

More goodies from France and Poland

Just got this today. I've bottled out of the idea of going as far as the Bailey bridge but I've decided to see if I can do a representation of this...

Will be a bit of delay to getting at it as unfortunately my mother-in-law passed on today, so next couple of weeks will be family time.

[belugawhaleman]

Another one from Copper State Models. This one is a Russian armored car in 1/35.

This will build up to be a very small model......some of the parts are tiny!  I think

the end result will be worth it , however. I like the look of these kits. They are well-molded

and very detailed kits. The instructions are incredible. I've already ordered another one

of these kits,....the Canadian gun carrier. That'll make 3 kits I have from this outfit.

This one literally fell into my lap at last month's club meeting...

[Martinnfb]

That’s a decent chunk of unobtanium

 

[BlrwestSiR]

Just drove home from Wisconsin where we visited my sister and her family. 14 hours in the car. Picked this up while I was there. 

One heavy boxset. 

When I got home, my neighbours kindly brought this in for me as it had arrived from Vancouver.

 

[Jackster]

Still bogged down not building. 😞 But I have cleared my bench enough to crack on with the Scimitar, just needs varnish and weathering now. Could not resist these though as I thought they were oop. The T.4 will probably be done as a Mcaws display jet. The Strikemaster I am hoping to do as Sultan Of Oman Air Force 1972 as per the battle of Mirbat. Need to track down some appropriate decals, or try upscaling from 1/72.

A rare Sunday delivery brought me these two items; A Copper State Models Canadian

armoured MG carrier in 1/35, and a Trumpeter Russian BTR-80A also in 1/35.

Both look like great kits. The BTR-80A kit has interior detail.

[Bill_S]

It's not large scale, but it is pretty large. Waiting for a Brengun PE set to arrive from the UK.

It's the AMT/ERTL 1/72 Limited Edition kit, Harv. Everything I read said it's better than the Italeri offering.

[Martinnfb]

If I am not mistaken Italeri picked up the AMT/ERTL mold

Looking forward to your build. I remember myself considering wether or not to purchase

this kit back a time ago, fearing I didn't have the skill. This was a beautiful aircraft. A promising technology but apparently a dead end as it was never put into production. Too bad as beauty and elegance have their own merits.

Birthday just gone, so I’ve been traversing eBay for some bargains leading up to it…..…

Panzer I Ausf A , never built one, saying that never seen one in the flesh. This is a tiny AFV…….also never built a half track so another less obvious subject……both of these were under £30.00 each….

and then this has been on my bucket list since it first came. Described in some circles as when Tamiya were at their zenith with AFV subjects. An absolute behemoth, got it at just over half price so may throw some Aber AM at it……….very happy, all contents with all three were still in sealed bags……result..
