Sure seems as if you're going all out on a few 48th scale Tomcats. I just finished the Tamiya F-14A and what a spectacular kit. 

Completely agree, Miss Molly is the pick of the litter and what a scheme for your Big Cat.

I may get one of those Tamiya Tomcats. ! Haven't built a Tomcat since I

built the big Tamiya Tomcat in 1983.

Saw these mentioned on Hyperscale the other day.  Guys that have the God Hand flush cutters were saying they’re the same. But they were only $16 on Amazon.

If these are the same as the God Hand nippers they must be pretty nice!

Thanks, I'll will take a look at these. I've been pretty impressed by the

God Hand nipper I have.

Just checked and they're $50 off Amazon.ca so not much cheaper than a pair of Godhand or Dspiae nippers.

Nice group of new kits ... I especially like the egg girl - just can't believe how many there are now. 

I must have about eight of these "Egg Girl" kits with two more on the way. A lot

of these are sold on Amazon and EBAY at inflated prices. These appear

to be limited run kits and when the run ends prices go up. Plaza Japan has

them for $24 US....A good price I Think. Anyway I recently ordered one from

Amazon. Well, Amazon decided to combine shipment with this and a case

of Glucerna shakes. The items came in one large box, loosely packed.

Well, the box of Glucerna weighed about 20 lbs and the Egg Girl box almost

nothing. Needless to say, the Hasegawa Egg Girl box was crushed.

Fortunately, Hasegawa wraps the product in bubble wrap and the kit

itself was ok.  I called Amazon customer service to make them aware

of their stupidity using colorful language.

Went to a Hobby shop today in Kenosha and found this item.

By Italeri it's their ABM 41/42 with 47/32 AT Gun  (6455) in 1/35.

Not a big buyer of Italeri kits in the past.....I bought this one as it

is of an Interesting subject. The kit looks pretty decent. It came

out in 2007and is apparently out of production. It has 247 parts, including

photo-etch, "rubber" tires (2 types) and a turned aluminum barrel.

Just arrived...

I found this kit online at a site for Knoble Knight Games.

From FineMolds, their Type 95 "Ha-Go" (FM16SP2) in 1/35 This kit is due

to be re-released sometime in Oct of this year but has been hard to find

for a while. The quality of these Fine Molds kits looks good. I also have their

Type 89 kit. Painting these will be challenging, I think--not sure how to

tackle that yellow stripe thing the Japanese did. The camouflage was either

sprayed or hard-edged brush painted.  This thing is small enough to be

painted with a paint brush. Anyway, We'll see. Glad to have found it.

Nice find👍. You have versatile stash of kits.

Sometimes i find interesting kit but i do not buy it because of too intricate paint scheme. Does anybody have same problem?

I do, but I usually buy it anyway!😀 Seriously, I want to try something a little more challenging.

I have noticed that i learned more in one 1/16 build that all previous 1/35 builds combined. So more challenging stuff is good👍
