Would like to see the G3M!
Mike West of Lone Star Models acquired the Bill Koster molds of his Vac G3M and I believe a new resin kit is now ready for sale. It's expensive though, Around north of $200 for me here in Canada.

Sometime ago, I watched "The Yangtse Incident". The story of HMS Amethyst sparked my interest. I tagged their 1/700 model kit on the website "Notify Me when back in stock." tab. They did! I bought one. Rather than the time-honored, resin-cast model, it seems HMS Amethyst has been modernized to 3D printing. I'm a little crestfallen about this. I prefer resin cast ship kits. There is no denying the fine detail on all the parts and the p/e and decals stayed the same.
Now, HMS Buttercup, the 1/700 scale replacement for the ship model I used for my Flower class USS Intensity conversion and presentation IS resin cast, with a few 3D printed detail parts included YAY!!
Starling models owns most of White Ensign Models ship molds and rights, the WEM range is marketed under the Atlantic Models banner.
Shipping costs were reasonable and shipping time was pretty speedy!
Bravo, Starling models chaps!
A look inside each will be provided...

I was looking at a model car today and somehow started reading about the Monogram based Revell Series 1 E-type jag in 1:8
Opinions vary but apparently the doors don't fit, the chrome spoke wheels are pretty awful. More worrying is the Wipers, the carbs and the dials on the dash all appear to be 1:12 so significantly under size....Sounds a bit of a nightmare ...so i bought one.
Continuing my occasional obsession with supposedly awful models that actually can be OK ( see my recent Roden DH4 ) I will put it on the shelf for when i feel inspired
More importantly when it arrives it will sit alongside my now ordered Eduard P38 and i will have a stash OK only a stash of 2 but a stash is a stash right ?
I have no idea why its a limited edition ? Is it limited in detail ? or demand? or maybe they thought we will never sell many of these so lets just make a few
Mean while as i never have to kits on the go i continue to wait for my replacement tub for the Bugatti....

I bought the 1/24 version and that kit looked quite good!

I got two models recently. One was a gift from a guy clearing his closet. He's more of a gamer so all that mattered to him was that I build models and it was a model he gave me. Yes, I'll build it:
This next one was a purchase at my SoCal AMPS meeting that I picked up to start at our build night meeting that was starting that night. I'm going to be making this a Syrian tank:
Thanks for looking in.

Not newly acquired but it seems I forgot to post it! From my expanding Invasion of Ukraine library section.

A package from Hubert (Dewertus) came in! Of course I will post the books later but the two kits immediately called my attention! Click to see inside! My work is cut out though as they are short run kits. It seems KP Models simply pantographed their 72nd scale kits to 1/48th but I still love them!
Thanks Hubert!
Thanks Hubert!
Thanks to Hubert, I have new titles for my library:
