Was quite happy with my purchases from AMPS...mostly done to trick out my Priest...sorry for the blur on this one-- got the Squadron book on the Priest from David Doyle at the Squadron booth, some Verlinden ammo loaders and ammo from Joe et al...and the Black Dog stowage...yeah it is for a British Priest, but it ought to work here and there...I can't remember the vendor's name (Saul-- help!) but he was in the Palm Room...I believe his name was Michael??
Rick Lawler from Mig Productions is a super nice guy and I was more than pleased to be able to help support what he and John were doing there...I realized after I took the pic I forgot to add the 502 Abteilung oil paint I got!
I was helping him pack up and he gave me the KV-1 they were using for the Rick and John show to play around with-- very cool!
Gene Bagnoli had mistakenly ordered this 1/48 scale flak gun- and sold it to me for $22...great guy to boot!
Tagging around with Saul gave me a chance to meet Jeff from Tiger Models where I picked up this barrel for my Matilda...and after seeing Taesung Haarms' awesome sculpting seminar I know I had to try out one of his figs...this one was purchased from Chris Mersal from CRM hobbies after I took the pic for Andy with Saul...
To help complete my Well Done build, I got this great dead tree from Armand Bayardi-- and you can even see where I started playing around with my 502 Abteilung oil paint...
If that wasn't enough...as we dropped Saul off we checked out his hobby shop (aka garage) and he provided some extra ammo for my Priest as well as an extra Howitzer and even though spring has barely started, I saw a "moskito"...from one aircraft modeler to another-- thanks Saul!
Now if the Gato I ordered on eBay would just get here!

That was the overflow from UMM-USA and the name was John Vojtech. Glad you had fun now let's get building the Priest!

Cool books!
Ditto!
I did get this on Wednesday, April 13th, but the mailman forced it into the mailbox (to avoid walking in drizzling rain) and damaged the spine:
Expect a review...
Regards,
About the Mailman?? :evil:
About how to use a graphic program to eliminate the wrinkles on the spine and straighten out the distortions.
The mailman's review comes twofold. One is a claim at the local post office and the second when the holiday tip envelope gets filled.

y'all tip the mailman??? Maybe that's why I found it easier to deal with the UPS store.
Here are a few odds and ends picked up over the last month or so.
From Mid Tenn Hobbie's: Zip Kicker, ModelMakerz Pigments, and a resin P-38 nose from Paragon
This is a new tooling from LHS
Sprue Bros.
Last weekend went to the Wings, Wheels and Keels model show in Venice, FL and picked these up.
Grabbed two of the Airfix Bf 109's
Roden's just released Staggerwing
Aires cockpit for the F-84
And last of all my new six-pack abs!!

Excellent haul! I have not seen the Airfix Bf-109E but the decals look fantastic (I am into smaller air forces)!
Note that the AFV Club F-5E you have can only be used for the USAF aggressors. USN and foreign air forces use the shark nose plus some other smaller details. There is a fabulous decal sheet out there that allows one to model any of the USAF aggressors.
By the way, the Tamiya Fieseler kit is REALLY nice!
