Nice haul gentlemen
Looking forward to seeing a review of the Dragoon and the S-300V or SA-12 as I know it better by :v

So far the Dragon is pretty sweet...no interior but nice detail so far...

My Jadar Hobby order came in... :yipee

For something I am still trying to make time to work on...

A bit disappointed as Elf usually has sidewall markings and size but it is not here...

Excellent as usual!

One open, one closed is included...

For my WWI bug... look at the titles of the sets...

This is a mistake. I ordered the Roden 1/72nd scale Fokker D.VI (Alb.) Late but it is off by one letter 'I' and I did order detail sets for Roden's D.VI & D.VII...

This is for IBG's tankette... although made for the older kit, I can't see why it won't fit.

Regards,

Found this one on sale at Sprue Brothers for $20...

Nice !!! Close to my heart, not because I am Romanian, but also because my grandfather was a pilot in WW2 - although he flew IAR-39, he would have certainly seen and touched the IAR-80/81s

I bought this one two years ago, and still haven't mustered the courage to do it. It will be a tribute build, want to make it extra special, possibly a small dio ....

Mine is in 1/32nd so a lot more to do, when I finally make a start on it.

Thats cool Terry. I still wonder though in this day and age that they would make a gun truck like that when there are so many other vehicles that can be used. It will be interesting to watch you build it.

Meanwhile I got a few more things from Christmas. Not sure why I got the Magach but I did. Also tracks for my Type 59 and the brand new Leopard C2 MEXAS with Dozer. My friend Anthony Seward helped with the research and they have a nice write up in the instructions. He was a commander on these and the new Leos we have. He makes some nice ref disks and will soon be releasing the C2 disk. With it in hand the build will start.

I think that was done back in the day of "You go to war with what you got" during Gulf War I.

Another nice haul of kits everyone!
The MBT-70 is not a horrible kit (I gotz one in my stash) but them tracks will have to be replaced. Also I too would like to see more of the Magach as well. I have one sitting on my shelf shame that I started to kitbash with the Academy and AFV.

And the last of my stuff has arrived.....or has it?
Well the Faun was pre ordered in October and I was hoping to do a review. I cant see that happening now but if you have a question just ask. The T-55A was a just before Christmas order but with our mail strike and then back to work order by the government which became the mail slow down it has finally arrived. It will be an Ethiopian build from the Ogaden War with Somalia.
Now as for the maybe part. I fully planned on calling it quits on the order front, but I got caught in a moment of weakness when I saw the new Border Models Pz IV G kit released. I snapped it up and it should be here in the next week or so I think. So here are the kits and a sneak peek.

Got this finger nail polish shaker off Amazon.

Works good too.

Shock up some Vallejo, Ammo, and AK paint with it. It's cheaper than ones for hobby paint.

Very cool. I just ordered an electric one off amazon. I have been having problems with Ammo of Mig paints and I gave a buddy a whole pile of them. He also had some issues but he bought the paint shaker and told me he has not had a problem since. I said shaking a bottle till your arm fell off and using the shaker was like night and day. The consistency was better using the shaker and he has been enjoying all the paint I gave him. Let me know what you think Jeff.
