BlrwestSiR Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Harv, go for it. The set is very impressive. It also gets rid of having to build the Tamiya Merlin so should make for a straightforward build. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belugawhaleman Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Today came my EBAY purchase of the BRONCO T17E1 STAGHOUND A/C MK. I (LATE PRODUCTION) CB-35011. In 1/35 scale. This I plan to do as a Cuban example using the STAR DECALS AFVs in Cuba #1 sheet. Cuba purchased 25 ex-Israeli Staghounds from Nicaragua in 1956. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belugawhaleman Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 More kits today: From TAMIYA another Sherman; their M4A3E8 "Easy Eight" European Theater in 1/35. Yes, I realized that the Korean war "Easy Eight" wasn't the correct version for my Cuban Sherman project so I got this version. Also from TAMIYA; their M3A1 Scout Car in1/35. This has markings for two Soviet Lend-lease vehicles plus what looks like an early WW2 U.S. version in two-toned camouflage. I saw an interesting decal sheet by STAR DECALS that offers markings for the M3A1 scout car and the M8 Greyhound in Swedish markings as used by their U.N. forces in the Congo. I've already ordered them. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They threw in a set of figures and charged less than Asuka did for the same kit. Tamiya also released the Asuka Firefly in a similar package.

BlrwestSiR Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Nice bunch of kits Peter! I remember the Minicraft F11F. Was one of my favourites when I was a kid. I had the same boxing of it. I wish someone did it in 1/32. Carl 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Carl Same here, I would be all over it. I grew up maybe 10 miles from Grumman's in Bethpage but never saw a Tiger, just before my time and by then, they might have been assembling and flying the jets out of Calverton.

belugawhaleman Posted Saturday at 11:35 PM Share Posted Saturday at 11:35 PM Today came a kit from Polish kit maker IBG Models; their Chevrolet C15TA Armoured Truck in 1/35 scale. It looks like a nice kit; being nicely molded and includes photo etched parts. IBG also makes this truck as the "Otter" Reconnaissance car. The Otter version is on my list of future purchases as being weird and ungainly-looking it has caught my interest. I've included a picture of an otter. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted Sunday at 11:25 AM Share Posted Sunday at 11:25 AM Always liked the odd and 'street tough' looking armor. Looking forward to a build thread not to far down the road. Keep 'em comin Peter 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted Monday at 10:21 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:21 PM Got some AM in the mail today. And although I was trying to cut down on kit purchases, I couldn't pass these up for $75 CAD. The Spitfire even has a Barracudacast resin seat. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
