1to1scale Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 This is my latest acquisition, although not very expensive, I have been looking for this boxing for a very long time. This one took a month to ship from Japan, but finally came yesterday. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackster Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Birthday, next week, so the kids got me these between them. I am enjoying the Universal Carrier and Six Pounder albeit very slowly so thought I would continue down the armour route for now. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does look a little timid there but if he's been fighting off that mob above I can't blame him. He's incredibly affectionate. He ended up sleeping between me and Sue last night which was unexpected but very nice. He's almost certainly a house cat as he knew how to use a litter box and just seems so content being indoors. 2 hours ago, Bomber_County said: Sunny looks a sweetheart, man I miss my furry friends..........

The Sherman and the Jeep not Landrover could be contenders for the D-Day group build?........... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rog That B-25 book is amazing, and a perfect companion to the A-20 volume (or vice versa - either way it works! ) on the A-20, if you’ve any interest in the SW Pacific campaigns, I recommend this book for your collection as well: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Achilles was an upgunned M10 tank destroyer. The Brits yanked the 76mm gun and dropped in their 17pdr the same way they did to the Sherman to create the Firefly. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Well, since the site is called Large Scale Modeller I thought this would be appreciated. Inside the shipping box: The idea of a large scale Valkyrie from my favourite anime series coming out has to be easily the top of my Grail list. Just wasn't expecting it in 1/20 scale. Here it is compared to a HB B-24: Now to figure out where to stash it. Anyone got a spare dishwasher box I can stick it in? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
