Latest Acquisitions
Cool book Saul! Nice score. Very helpful too.
Okay, this is gonna be a long one as my second-to-last Christmas order just came in. I have one more coming, and then I'm done for the year unless I get some raffle prizes or something. Also, disregard the prices on the boxes of some of them; I got these for half or more as part of my Christmas order. Otherwise I never would have bought them.
Oh, speaking of raffle prizes, I'll start with those from my IPMS meeting...
First up was this
Evergreen and
Plastruct set of styrene with instruction booklets/catalogs:
It also included strip and rod pieces as well:
I also won a
Tamiya boxing of the
Italeri F-14 Tomcat in 1/72 scale:
I then purchased this
Renwal kit of Fabulous Flying Machines from a friend and fellow modeler. It's all plastic inside, but includes tissue paper inside for the "fabric" wings:
At the Spruefest contest, I dropped all my raffle tickets into the Miscellaneous draw hoping to pick up tools and/or paints. Instead, I got these two cars from
Tamiya. On this first pic, for some reason; it did not finish the picture. The bottom of the box has shots of the sprues inside as well as logo, etc.:
Here is the second car I won:
I'm taking offers for these, but no lower than $25.00 on the Nissan and $50.00 on the Ferrari.
Moving on, here is the other acquisition I got at Spruefest during their show sale that I didn't post earlier:
Modelcollect M1001 tractor pulling the Pershing II. Now I have both of these Pershing II tractors:
And now for my Christmas acquisitions...
First are these four models from
ACE:
Italian 508-CM Colonial light car:
Italian Trattore Autocar Sahariana AS.37:
Type 770 Tourenwagen:
Type 770 Cabriolet F:
From
IBG, I picked up four more. This included a "Holy Grail" of sorts; one model I hadn't been able to find anywhere before this....
Chevrolet Wrecker:
Diamond T Wrecker (YAY! FINALLY!)
Next are two Hungarian Zrinyi II 105mm assault guns:
...and another one with skirts:
I actually got that second one because I thought it was a different variant. It's not, it only has added skirts. Oh well, I'm gonna build it anyway.....
Moving on again, I got two
Riich Models M-109A6 Paladins. I'm hoping to make to make one of them Israeli if the modifications aren't beyond my abilities:
Another modern vehicle I got was this
T-Model uparmored M-1114 Humvee:
I also got this modern
A&A Models Russian aircraft rescue and firefighting truck:
And last but not least, I have this
Hobby Boss Armored Train Car Geschutzwagen for my Br-57 armored engine:
That's all for now. That should keep me busy for a few weeks at least.
Thanks for looking in. Stay tuned, some of these will be introduced to my factory floor fairly soon.
