The Polar Bear Express arrived today.


Tamiya re-box of the Italeri Crusader.

Jeep and figures for an RAF Jeep.

Some members of the family were more impressed with the boxes things came in. Miss Simba claimed this one.

Cheers,

Hey Rich, the Tamiya Crusader and the Jeep are nice, I ultimately want to build an LVT-4 with either the Jeep or maybe a Bren gun carrier in it (likely the Jeep)

Hey Bob, where the cat/box thing are concerned, there is an old cat/owner saying with boxes, "If it fits, I sits."

BTW...you need a cat emoji or two......

My airbrush compressor that I purchased back when I was 12 finally totally died. It started to knock after running for 30 seconds. I was able to set up a framing compressor I have so my wife could finish her projects for Eaglequest. That thing is so noisy in the house. I hooked up a water trap and regulator for that to work. That is when I realized why over the last 2 years why my paint jobs were coming out so bad and I was having to strip the paint over and over. The compressor I had maybe was putting out 5 pounds of pressure at the most.

A week ago I got to a Hobby Lobby and was able to replace it.

These airbrushes followed me home too

The local Office Supply/Hobby Shop had this

I was at the hobby shop today and they had a couple of the MENG Jagdpanther kits. How does it look James?

Looks great. 4 markings and parts for all G2s and I think a G1 late could be made. It has the 3 different mantles. The Panther running gear will work to make moveable running gear. Colour callouts by AK Interactive.

Just got this one, have been saving up for it. They even include a small 1/48 Kawasaki Ki-148 I-GO air to surface missile!

Man am I ever dopy. Have the G-2 on the mind I guess. This is a G-1 kit and has all the parts to make any G-1 version. Unfortunately I may need some zimmerit for my chosen scheme.

Nice scores James!

Sharkman, looking good! I'm looking forward to seeing the Japanese air to surface missile as well as the camouflage pattern you choose to do. That will be well worth watching!

The Lilly is a nice kit, I have the same one. It's the better kit to have, the first issue had problems with the shape of the nose which has been fixed in Kit 4871.

Thanks John, good to know, I got the original release and have been pondering how to fix the nose ever since, looks like I need to track this one down and ditch the old one.

Just found that AZ sells a clear parts correction kit. If all they changed was the clear parts that may be the way to go.

All they did was change the clear parts Gary, 1 piece for the fuselage and a new nose glazing. The directions show where to cut the fuselage and install the new clear piece.

I can scan and send to you if you like. If they sell the correction kit, that would be much cheaper!

Thanks Warren, found bunches of them on evilbay and ordered one, coming from GB so it will be a couple of weeks. Only about $12, way less than a new kit.
