The package needs to be signed for. I logged into my UPS account and I have a 3.6 lb package from Mitsubishi whse of CA for a Monday delivery. This has to be it. And just my luck, my wife will probably be off from work and I’ll get busted. EDIT: Tamiya shipping notice email popped up this morning. That’s it. 2 4

Peterpools Posted February 1, 2023 Posted February 1, 2023 Come on Tamiya another sale next month. O wonder how many Spitfires Tamiya sold? 2
ScottsGT Posted February 1, 2023 Posted February 1, 2023 Decals from Poland just arrived. Signature required. Glad I’m retired! 9 1
BlrwestSiR Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Received a set of 1/12 Volk CE28 rims and tires for my Tamiya 935. The rears are a bit narrower than the stock wheels but I think they'll still look good under a coat of paint. 7 1

CANicoll Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Conversion? Uh oh!! Is that a Tamiya conversion? 4

CANicoll Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 That looks like a bit of work, and the work he is putting into the conversion is admirable. Looks good! 3
belugawhaleman Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Arriving today; after being "lost" in the mail for about 10 days.... A kit from Takom. Their WWII German Super Heavy Mine Clearing Vehicle Krupp Raumer S (2053) in 1/35 scale. I've been looking for this one for some time, but being a Takom kit, it was never in stock. While looking like a "What if" subject, this thing actually existed.... Well, there was one anyway. It was discovered by U.S. forces at the end of the war. This kit is Huge by the way! Takom provides a number of marking options; one in the original German primer red, an olive drab one with U.S.markings, and the rest are pure fantasy. Anyway, something different.... https://www.scalemates.com/kits/takom-2053-krupp-raumer-s--1015835 7 1
harv Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Always like this for some strange reason....harv 3

Like I said, I've been looking for this one forever. Not sure what I'm going to do with this thing...the primer red, most likely, the U.S. markings...possibly.... The fantasy markings, although attractive, probably not. Anyway I'm glad I found one. 1 1

Peterpools Posted February 5, 2023 Posted February 5, 2023 Bill, Silly Putty - guess it's used for masking cammo.😉 5
belugawhaleman Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 Coming today from Burbank's House of Hobbies came this kit from Copper State Models. It's their Lanchester with 37mm Hotchkiss Gun "Russian Service" (csm 35003). I wanted CSM's Lanchester, especially this variant, and found this one on Burbank's website for a decent price. I now have six of their kits , and they're great Little kits. I have yet to build one of them however. There's a couple of their armored cars that I still plan to buy....once I find them at a lower price that is. One is their Romfell, the other their Ehrhardt. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/copper-state-models-csm35003-lanchester-russian-service--1210570 8
