I will second Bob's comment, Nice Haul!

I have been eyeing the Albatros B.II for a while but have never quite managed to pull the trigger.

I need to report on my trip to Knoxville Saturday as well picked up 4 kits. One was a raffle win and 3 other were nice deals. Maybe I can do that this evening.

Here are the items I picked up at the show in Knoxville Saturday.

The car kit and the Bell X-1 were both still sealed kits, unopened.

There were about a dozen vendors. Half of those were mainly cars. While there were a few interesting items to be had I was being picky and keeping my spending down.

All excellent scores guys!

Paul, I also keep my spending down on kits; mostly because in my scale. There's barely anything left that I haven't already built, sometimes multiple times!

Nice scores Sherm! Way to go!


A couple days ago, I went to a Brewer Brothers sale to sell some of my models that I know I won't build or aren't in my preferred scale. While there, I received three gifts from my friend who was selling on the tables next to me.

This first one is a FROG kit of the Swordfish in 1/72 scale. He gave this to me since I had never built a Swordfish yet:

It was also because it had no top so most likely wouldn't sell anyway.

Another model he gave me that intrigued me was this Eastern European model from a company I have no clue about. The box was also beat up quite a bit so he gave this to me. I'm happy because it is a Soviet troop carrying glider:

Finally, I also got this book from him since he knew I love naval ships:

That's all for now.

And this new iteration of a kit that’s been out of stock almost since the day it hit the shelves.

Now I need to figure out what was different between the V2 rocket version and the tank version.

I believe the only difference is the V2 version has the appropriate attaching hardware and equipment for lifting the V2. I think the tank one has the Y shaped piece for attaching to the turret.

Went a bit crazy and ordered 2 kits. I'm hoping to do a T-55 from an African nation and am hoping to find more pics of the BMR-1 somewhere other than Afghanistan. I saw one in white with UN markings. Would like to find if they were used anywhere else. Then a bunch of stuff for a forward repair depot for my Panther and crane. A well for the DAK with Doc and some AM for my latest WNW kits.

Nice acquisitions James! I will be obtaining some new items at Wonderfest next weekend and am looking forward to the new Gotha and Lancaster from them as well as the British bomber they are working on.

Other than that I hope to keep my spending minimalized for the rest of the year.

I have a Gotha coming, didn't bother with the float version. When the Lanc and HP ).400 come out will definitely get them.
