Latest Acquisitions Revisited!

In line with my current interest/obsession with Russian Tanks in the Ukraine,
I've been following closely, I can always offer help once you choose a subject. I have found some for me:

In line with my current interest/obsession with Russian Tanks in the Ukraine, I thought these keychains were pretty cool, plus they help sponsor the Locals to fight the 'Bear' in a small way. I also got a ref book that has super clear photos of vehicles in the conflict.
Cut from actual T-72's destroyed in combat, plus the one with the box also has a piece of a Hind 24 that was shot down and crashed into the Dnipro River.

Its too bad you're so far away as I am starting my stash reduction with Russian stuff including a package of decals from the Ukraine wars. I need to seriously make room and get rid of things I no longer am interested in.

Hey James, let me know what you have anyway, as most of what i get has to come from the Northern Hemisphere anyway. :peacesign2:

Thanks Saul, I have some good pics lined-up already as I have been doing the same and following the war but you may have a few I don't. I will post up a new entry on this soon in my masters section.
 
I always look into the clearance area of Hobby Lobby! No, I don't plan to add Googly Eyes to tanks. These 'eyes' are made of thin clear plastic domes with a smaller punch black styrene and larger punched white styrene disks. The former for aircraft observation (astronomer's domes) and the latter for scratchbuilding!

So, I've been looking at some older 1/32 Japanese kits as I have heard some good things about them. I recently bought this one for a good price. A Ki-84 from Swallow, which I think used an old Tomy mold from the '70's.

Just impressed by the fine engraved lines and riveting from a kit this old. The cockpit will need a little attention and it must have been set up to take a small motor and battery for the prop because a few pieces are included for that.

I have the Frank and the George. I think they would be fun to build if I can keep them simple.

This one looks like it will be John! Not too many pieces but some chances to enhance them a bit. Is the George about the same quality as the Frank?
 
Just arrived. I have had a resin kit of the Flak for years, but got it second hand and broken. So this is welcome. I've wanted to build this thing for a long time. What is specially cool about the kit is it includes a nice book on the vehicle including a modeling section.
