I should have taken pics but I got carried away with Christmas and got too much so I put it away for now. But lots of German WWII stuff and a ton of books. If you need inspiration to build anything from the Polish invasion (Fall Weiss) or the invasion of France (Fall Gelb, Fall Rot) I highly recommend the following 2 books
Case White
Case Red
Both by Robert Forczyk

I've got a fair number of kits since the last time I posted images of any of them. My most recent ones are from the 1/600 sclae airfix line of ships. I got HMS Belfast and HMS Hood. HMS Hood is NOT as she looked when she was sunk by DMK Bismarck. This HMS Hood kit is as she appeared during the later 1930s Mediterranean cruise.

I am really looking forward to this kit. Will probably be my next build and I will do 909.

Not a modelers' book but a scholarly compilation of essays written by notable researchers (PhDs and Military leaders). no photos and, at $65USD, the most expensive of the bunch but worth it for the rare insight.:

Very nice book designed for modelers and historians:

American Civil War book on the uniforms (all French text which isn't a problem for me):

Wow! Incredible hauls for all you guys! Since I got a Christmas 'bonus' this year, I have a very large box coming from Hong Kong with almost every model on my 'must-have' list packed inside. Pics to come when it arrives. That will probably be in January though. Still, Merry Christmas to me!

Got myself a couple of more models of HMS Hood plus a book on HMS Hood. The book is co-authored by one of the three survivors of the ship's 1418 men complement at the time of her sinking.

Italeri 1/720 HMS Hood 1930's variant. Tamiya 1/700 1941 variant.

Nice one Tankbuilder! Great score!

Last night was our IPMS club's Distressed Kit Auction. Among some knick-knacks, books and vids that weren't worth photographing, I picked up the following kit:

Italeri AW-101 Merlin TTI:

And yes, it did include the Me-262A1 inside.

Meanwhile, one friend brought a Christmas present from another AMPS member for me, as well as a present from him. The AMPS member gave me this:

Condor V-2 Rocket:

My friend in IPMS meanwhile; gave me this:

Airfix Blackburn Buccaneer:

That is the new tool kit.

The day before all this, I had a knock on the door and opened it to find the postman dropping off this massive box:

You may have noticed a Fall Gelb theme here although maybe it will become a fall Wiess or Fall Rot theme.
