I got myself a M3 Lee for some reason. I like the Grant better but this was supposed to have Canadian decals in it. After looking through the instructions I'm not sure if I will do a Canadian one or not now. Its kind of boring. The one from Georgia is pretty colourful though. My wife likes the 2 Russian ones with the slogans written across the glacis plate. Decisions decisions.

No, it's one of their brand new molds they've started doing. Supposed to be an excellent mold.

Nope...it is the Italeri with new decal schemes...new stuff won't be out until summer or even later now Mark...I'm good friends with the US Hornby rep...first ones will be Cromwells I believe.

Completely different from the Italeri offering that I did build in the past.
Got this one on a show here in the Netherlands several months ago.

At least that PZ. IV isn't the one pirated from Tamiya by Academy way back when.

Good to know Mike. Now I know better. Thanks for the clarification. I wish you could get that Hornby rep to do more new 1/72 scale models; or even shrink their 1/48 scale vehicles down to 1/72 scale....

Finally bought myself a paint bottle shaker (polish bottle shaker), which can be used with batteries or plugged in, for only $12 USD and free since I used my Amazon Rewards:

I got some things in recently. A coastal Defense system to go with the one I have Russian 4K51 Rubezh Coastal ASM with P-15. The new one is the replacement for the Styx and is the Russian SSC6/3K60 BAL-E. Its less effective but much cheaper. Also I got in an M-8 Armoured car a little while ago. Decided to do a captured vehicle used by the Swedish in the Congo in 1960. Decals just arrived as well as a barrel and just waiting on some wheels.

Looks great Saul! I should get me one of those too.

James, looking great! Nice scores man. I have one of those BAL-E vehicles in 1/72 scale in the stash. I found it after I'd done all my Russian 8-wheeled trucks; otherwise that one would have been started too.

 

[errains]

Some goodies that came my way over the past few of weeks...

I'm collecting Abrams for some odd reason...

 

[Duke Maddog]

Nice scores Eric! That's funny that you're collecting Abrams. I'm currently building three Abrams myself....

Tally Ho!

 

[Heavens Eagle]

Ach du Leiber!

I have wanted the Taube for a long time. I went to order it before and it was out of stock. This time it worked out.

 

[jknaus]

I want the Halberstadt. Sigh.

 

[moon puppy]

I want the Halberstadt. Sigh.

That was one of the first ones out wasn't it James?
