The decals:
The two large ones on the bottom are extras thrown in so I can test them. Of the large sheets, the one on the left has a transparent film and the one on the right is printed on white decal stock.

Thats some seriously good artwork !
You're just a leg man...
Just took the day off work to receive my latest shipment from the delivery dudes....
Dragon:
1/35 M4 (105) Howitzer Tank (#6548)
1/35 Jagdpanzer IV L/70(V) (#6397)
1/35 Pz.Kpfw.IV Ausf.C (#6291)
1/35 M7 Priest (mid production) (#6637)
Great Wall Hobby:
1/35 Rheinmetall 12.8cm K44 L/55 (#L3523)
Trumpeter:
1/35 Canadian LAV-III (#1519)
Kinetic:
1/48 US Navy E-2C Hawkeye (actually, this one arrived some weeks ago)
My very first Kinetic model kit. Saw this one on display at my LHS in completed form and it looked absolutely amazing. Have ordered external and internal photo etch update sets, metal wheel struts, photo etch/resin US modern carrier decking, and some US Navy carrier figures and vehicles.....
Might try to get some in box photo reviews done so the members can see what makes up some of these kits.
I'm one happy little vegemite....

After two horrid days of snow and ice, I finally got FOUR packages. Photos will follow later.
Package one:
Pin-Ups Plus has sent me a test sheet where the pinups are printed on various dark green backgrounds. I must say they look good on the sheet. I plan to apply them over a styrene sheet that is painted half black and half white as a test for translucency.
Package two:
Occidental 1/48th scale T-6G Texan won off e-Bay to do a Portuguese Tomcat as used over Africa.
Package three:
Pacific Coast Models 1/32nd scale Spitfire Mk. IX from a trade (so now I have another large scale kit, I wonder how hard to convert to a variant Vc or VIII which had a sharkmouth)
Package four:
After two false delays, I finally got my AFV Club package. Gato submarine (1942 model), Churchill Mk IV, proper Churchill tracks, Hummel/Nashorn/Hornisse suspension (although I wish they included Pz IV sprockets), and reflective glass for my Stryker kit.
Another package had arrived last week, an Italeri 1/72nd scale bagged C-119 kit I bought for my son's Godfather in Poland. I think I better invite him to post here, he is a master of brush painting!

Now it really happened!

It is designed specifically for the AFV Club Stryker kits. Trumpeter was the first 'mainstream' kit producer who also made it for their Stryker optics.
However, it has been around for a while. Echelon fine Details produces several sets. Click on image to go to their site:

Thanks Saul, Maybe someone will come up with some generic sheets you can use on all kinds of vehicles.

Shalom.
Finally got possession of my long awaited 1/35 scale Leopard 2A6M Canadian by Hobby boss. I'm delighted that the slat armour is styrene and not that pesky to assemble PE stuff. VBG LOL
Also got my Bronco 1/35 scale British 17-pounder ammunition. All I need now is the anti-tank gun to go with it. Hopefully the hobby shop will get one in soon.
Cheers from Peter

Peter,
Yeah, that Canadian Leopard from HobbyBoss is pretty awesome. I have an un-built one myself. I've read some build reviews elsewhere that have had some warnings about the fit of the slate armour - especially the slates on the turret being too low at the rear and causing issues with the engine deck. Pays to do some test fitting and checking first.

I still have to get one. I have a Tamiya kit with eduard pe and some resin, will have to build that soon also.
James
Please name the seller and why so we can avoid that person as well.
Just got notified that the three items I ordered from Lucky Models which were definitely marked as in stock (for my A-20G and Centauro) are in limbo as the items are now only 'available.' I will write to the owner directly.

Fair enough. His tag is dntbay. He charges $9.00 US shipping for 1st item and $3.00 for each additional item. Fair enough even though each item cost 99 cents. So I paid $15.00 US for shipping and handling from. Ontario Canada to Alberta Canada for $3.00 worth of stuff. I figured cost of a box or cardboard envelope and CP that was acceptable. It arrived today in a letter envelope with a postage stamp of $1.25. That means he made about $13.00 US profit on shipping and handling. Never again from me.
James
Did you write back asking for a refund?

No I didnt. Still being fairly new to the game that was the price I agreed to. I assumed the packing etc would be worth it. Suffice to say he has lost future business from me, and anyone who reads this might be warned off also.
