Mustang fever... for my Tamiya kit:
Since it has two sharkmouth schemes and my second Tamiya kit is slated for Dominican markings, I guess I am either keeping the Dragon kit I had on sale or getting the new Revell one.

Thank you Saul, Much appreciated, I will
Cheers :drinks
As recommended by Saul
Very Good guy to deal with, and he says he has a new website that's going to be updated soon to handle International orders.

Oh my, it took me a second to realize that my recommendation was in the background (the CA glue) and not the fuselage extension!
The glue is great. There are many homemade tools you can use and techniques to learn, especially for filling panel lines, sink marks, etcetera. I covered one in my Cuban M4A3E8 build. Feel free to ask.

Here is a quick link as I had to unpack my Cuban while re-arranging my bench today.

Today I received a rather large box at work. Since Memphis has become filled with porch thieves (and since this required a signature) I had it shipped to where I work. (I have everything shipped to work these days much safer)
Any ideas yet?
How about this photo.
Yup, the Big one! I went ahead late last year and put my name on the list. At that time I was number 75. They announced that production would be only 10 a month for the run. With that I figured it would be June before my number came up.
Last week I decided to double check with them as I had not heard anything. I was told that I just needed to log in and give my address for shipping and they would let me know the total. I registered did my bit and then promptly paid the amount. (Yeah a little steep, but still less than I spent on the HK B-17 with all it's stuff) It was shipped Monday by FedEx and it arrived this morning. Apparently some folks backed out on their buys. I ended up with number 56. Yes, it is a limited numbered edition with a little special item and VERY well packed. Also unlike most of the other HPH kits it actually came with a printed manual rather than the CD that their kits usually come with.
If you are interested, the manual can be downloaded from the HPH site. I will do a brief review this weekend so be patient.

Wow! I can't wait to see that beast started! What a horse!
I also have some acquisitions to post as well. Nothing nearly this big though!

It is 1/48th scale. Same scale as the B-29 that Monogram did years ago. Wingspan is about 5 feet and the fuselage is almost 4 inches in diameter. Definitely the biggest plane in the house.
This wasn't a splurge kit for me. I don't intend on building it for a while. I need to do some bare metal builds first. No way I want to mess up this kit. But kit in hand is worth a whole bunch on ebay. Oh it didn't come with a chocolate (that I have found anyway) though it has some other goodies (that don't melt).

Here's my latest acquisitions. I'll start with this model won by someone else in an online contest. The winner requested that it be sent to me:
When I opened the box, I saw a ton of P/E. Everyone I showed this to asked me "Who'd you cheese off to get that?" or words to that effect! LOL!
Then, after a tough and trying couple days of preparatory procedures before my treatments begin, I decided I needed to lift myself out of my funk. What better way than to go buy some more models.
These are the models I bought myself, starting with these two Roden kits that have been on my list for awhile:
I also bought these two models....
A 1/72 scale UH-60 that will be done in Australian markings:
and a 1/72 scale F-16 which will be done in Italian markings:
Finally, at my IPMS OC Build Night meeting; I won this in the raffle:
You can see that it includes resin figure of Batman and Robin. That's gonna be fun.
I also purchased a number of paints, putties and other supplies, but the Gallery keeps freezing up whenever I try uploading any other pics. I'm wondering how I'm going to upload all my works in progress now.
Anyway, thanks for looking in. Some of these will be started fairly soon so stay tuned....

Almost the last of my kits for a considerable time with any luck and willpower. I am going to save for the Flap Lid, Meng SA-11, WNW Sopwith Tripe and the Halberstadt Cl.II
The SatCom vehicle caught my eye and looks easy enough to do. Still doing research on it. And the SA-6 with corrected lower hull and corrected missiles with cradle is to replace the ones I gave away. I need to do this soon I guess because the SA-11 is coming out sometime this year and they would be good together. I'll get the Meng version as I really don't like Panda.

Awesome scores James! There's a couple of those I still need to get in 1/72 scale. The rest I either have or they don't make in my scale. I'll be looking forward to seeing these on your workbench.

As soon as the T-14 and T-60 are done I'll start the SA-6 and work on the Junkers. I hope I can keep up the initiative. The T-80UD does look interesting though.
