Sherman, great scores. You're gonna love that Stryker; I built one and it's fast and easy to build while still have loads of great detail!
Added to my library...

Saul, excellent! The books that most interest me are the Operation Cactus and the Czech Arms Exports. Cool!
Another ugly three-wheeler, @Ken Abrams!Ever since I saw this photo.

I knew I would love to build it if I could.
I can't say this is the exact same version but it was close enough for me. It's a pretty tiny kit but looks fairly well detailed through the plastic bags.

Knowing me, I'll probably toss everything I'm working on aside and oh look! Something shiny!

From AliExpress, to use my Black Friday coupons... This is how they arrived. Note that the store pasted their own label with product numbers E##-#...
Why is it important? Well, Alexen Model doesn't include the screws needed to use some of their products so the store adds them and charges a touch more. I paid a little more to assure I received a tool ready to use without my having to source screws. This is the package, on the right, that is sold by many. On the left the screws needed and added by some shops.
This is a seam scraping tool. It keeps the cylinders round. The holes along one edge are used to bend wire for handles. Not that great though.
Thanks to the coupons, less than $10USD shipped.

And what is this exactly? I get the scraper, neat, like it but the other thing I'm unsure of.

Believe me, if I saw this in a store and looked over the packaging, I would put it back as I would have no idea either. Yes, the instructions on the back cover stencils, scrapers, and scribers but not this product. Inside, there are no assembly or usage instructions. Nothing! However, on the site I bought it at...
See their whole range (lots of interesting stuff) at Alexen Models.

Not an acquisition (yet) but i see the italeri 4709 Lancia Delta HF Integrale 16V 1:12 is now in the shops.
Really tempted to buy this for Xmas however i just have a niggling doubt about Italeri as sometimes they seem to just miss the target with their new kits.
Lancia Delta HF Integrale 16V - 1:12 - coming soon
