Wow, lots of new models lately! Some really nice kits!
Well my going back to work celebratory model order showed up today. My first time ordering from ScaleHobbyist as well. All I can say is amazing prices
Been wanting one of these forever
For my 1/48 A6M5 kit. Looks to be an amazing set for the price
My first time with Vallejo paint. Looks like I ordered the wrong Middlestone but oh well it should be fine
Ebay purchase for six bucks. Never even heard of this plane until now.
Now I am just waiting on my 1/35 Dragon Kubelwagen and Kettenkrad from ebay.

Hi Guys ,
Just received the following in the mail 2 books & 2 Bottles of Tamiya Liquid Surface Primer !
Here are review of each of the books
Nomonhan, 1939: The Red Army's Victory That Shaped World War II
Stuart Goldman convincingly argues that a little-known, but intense Soviet-Japanese conflict along the Manchurian- Mongolian frontier at Nomonhan influenced the outbreak of World War II and shaped the course of the war. The author draws on Japanese, Soviet, and western sources to put the seemingly obscure conflict--actually a small undeclared war-- into its proper global geo-strategic perspective.
The book describes how the Soviets, in response to a border conflict provoked by Japan, launched an offensive in August 1939 that wiped out the Japanese forces at Nomonhan. At the same time, Stalin signed the German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact, allowing Hitler to invade Poland. The timing of these military and diplomatic strikes was not coincidental, according to the author. In forming an alliance with Hitler that left Tokyo diplomatically isolated, Stalin succeeded in avoiding a two-front war. He saw the pact with the Nazis as a way to pit Germany against Britain and France, leaving the Soviet Union on the sidelines to eventually pick up the spoils from the European conflict, while at the same time giving him a free hand to smash the Japanese at Nomonhan.
Goldman not only demonstrates the linkage between the Nomonhan conflict, the German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact, and the outbreak of World War II , but also shows how Nomonhan influenced Japan s decision to go to war with the United States and thus change the course of history. The book details Gen. Georgy Zhukov s brilliant victory at Nomonhan that led to his command of the Red Army in 1941 and his success in stopping the Germans at Moscow with reinforcements from the Soviet Far East. Such a strategy was possible, the author contends, only because of Japan s decision not to attack the Soviet Far East but to seize the oil-rich Dutch East Indies and attack Pearl Harbor instead. Goldman credits Tsuji Masanobu, an influential Japanese officer who instigated the Nomonhan conflict and survived the debacle, with urging his superiors not to take on the Soviets again in 1941, but instead to go to war with the United States.
The Bloody Triangle: The Defeat of Soviet Armor in the Ukraine, June 1941
It was a tank battle exceeded in size and significance only by the famous defeat of Germany’s Panzer force near Kursk in 1943. And yet, little is known about this weeklong clash of more than two thousand Soviet and German tanks in a stretch of northwestern Ukraine that came to be known as the “bloody triangle.”
This book offers the first in-depth account of this critical battle, which began on 24 June 1941, just two days into Operation Barbarossa, Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union. Author Victor Kamenir describes the forces arrayed against each other across that eighteen-hundred-square-mile-triangle in northwestern Ukraine. Providing detailed orders of battle for both Wehrmacht and Red Army Forces and contrasting the strengths and weaknesses of the Soviet and German tanks, he shows how the Germans slowly and decisively overwhelmed the Russians, apparently opening the way to Moscow and the ultimate defeat of the Soviet Union. And yet, as Kamenir’s account makes clear, even at this early stage of the Russo-German war the Soviets were able to slow down and even halt the Nazi juggernaut. Finally, the handful of days gained by the Red Army did prove to have been decisive when the Wehrmacht attack stalled at the gates of Moscow in the dead of winter, foreshadowing the end for the Germans.
Can't wait to get started on reading these !!!!!! :cheer:

.010", .015", .020", .025", .030", and .035".
Should work great for wiring and plumbing on tanks and planes and everything.

Oh that just sounds like a terrible first week Barney lol. I actually start this coming Monday. First day is sitting out in the forest with the district Archaeologist while he has a meeting with some contractors lol. Second week is all going to be training out in the field. Which will be simple since I have done it all before.

The mailman brought me 2 goodies this week.
Scale Motorsport Photoetch for Tamiya Toyota GT One TS020
Scale Motorsport Carbon Fiber Decals w/ templates. Will let me apply carbon fiber replica decals to the car. Set includes templates on the backs of the decal sheets to form to the different parts on the model.
Gonna finish up my Horch model, and then try jumping hard on the GT One. Hoping to have it done in time to take it to the Southern NNL show in Atlanta in November.
