Soo.... What did you just get???

This just came.......

From Das Werk, It's their Sd.Kfz. 250/3 Ausf.A in 1/16 scale (DW 16019).

Much of this kit is newly tooled having new parts differing from their earlier 250/1 kit..

BTW Andy is having some kind of sale on 1/16th scale kits week, mentioning it in his last video.

I have both of Das Werk's 250 kits and their 251 half track. They all look like nice kits. The

251 looks to be more complicated. This kit has 5 decal choices  and two figures; a driver and The Desert Fox

himself.

Finally something other from Japan than sophisticated car kits, my first Gundam kit arrived some weeks ago, but I had to wait for the Kosmos LED lighting kit for almost two months. Initially, I wanted to start the project as a relaxing easter time build, but due to the late arriving of the LED´s, I´m not sur, if  I start immediately or not. It´s a ton of plastic in a huge box, but no drilling, excessive sanding, etc. As far, as I know, there isn´t even glue needed and the large perfect grade Gundam kits from Bandai are said to be of extremely high quality.

Rob, I can't wait to see you work your magic on the Unicorn Gundam. 

The only thing to watch out for is that some parts are ABS plastic (mostly the inner frame) and supposedly they don't like lacquer too much. I haven't experienced any issues but I've heard it mentioned several times by reviewers.

Thanks Carl, but no real magic this time,  I plan to build the Unicorn straight from the box, only with the added lighting set. No paint no glue  and I even read somewhere, that cleanup is minimal, because the sprue connectors are hidden and don´t need a lot of attention.

Two more for my stash! 🙂

Nice, I picked up a Tamiya VIII kit at a show, it had a bunch of AM in it, but no mouse pad.

I was thinking about you're not painting it and then I looked at the Gundam kit my son just built. It's from the standard HG series in 1/144. It's much smaller and less detailed and he didn't paint it either, just used a Gundam marker to do some panel lining.  It still looks good though.

Looks amazing. Well done!

Nice one, I may paint another one later, when I have a feeling for abrasion due to articulation, but will do panel lining as well and paint some details with the Unicorn.
