That Junkers would be a nice build, very little rigging.
I haven't bought any of them, but I know some here like the Wingnut Wings kits. Sprue Bros has a few of them on sale under their "Deal of the Day" bucket. They are typically only up for about 48 hours once they are posted.
You have been warned.

Bought these decals because they are unique, German Ar-196 with fake French markings. They were extremely expensive at $17.95 Euros. The gel glue was half price thanks to a Michael's Craft Stores coupon.
The decals are thin but pressing them lightly with a fingernail shows them to be stiff. Reading the instructions, it mentions using a hair dryer to warm the film up to get them to conform. What appears to be a flaw in the large Balkenkreuze are actually stencils. These decals, by Flying Frog Scale Modeling Company (FFSMC) are very well researched and include full stencilling. It was custom printed when Ipaid.

That might be an oldie but it's a goodie. I have two of them in the stash because the kit can be built in a couple of different ways. You'll have fun with it I'm sure.
Cheers

If my truck entry in the DAK campaign makes me goofy I think I'll whip this one out

Woot! New airbrush day. :yipee
I ordered an Iwata Eclipse HP-BS that arrived today for more detailed work. Should work a lot better for pre-shading panel lines and small details, particularly on 1/72 scale. Looking forward to getting a chance to try it out. The Badger will remain my primary brush for general coverage applications.

Well despite waking at 0300 the day started good. Got some stuff in today also. Unfortunately the day degraded.
So my decals came in today for a BEF Matilda and Light Tank Mk VI and OEF Hummer. My radio and tracks came in for the Bison II. And a week ago Sprue Brothers had a daily sale on some WNW kits. Only $49 each. Unfortunately my buddy Maus alerted me to the fact and 3 of them jumped into my basket. To make things better the new Tamiya Easy 8 was on sale. And they had decals to do some Canadian Shermans and Achilles. So they also jumped into my cart. What is really cool and I wasnt aware of until today, A Gaz "Jeep" also is included in the box.

A couple recent acquisitions.
I think egg planes are turning in to a bit of an addiction, lol. I stop at almost every hobby shop I find, and look to see if they have any EP kits, and when they have something I don't already have, I typically snag it. The local Hobby Town had a couple different combo sets, and I grabbed this one.
This arrived yesterday, and it's a kit I've been looking for, for over a year now. I came across a sheet of decals I really liked the look of, and decided to get the kit. Now I just have to either track down a sheet of the decals, or wait for the manufacturer to finally reprint them like they've been saying for almost a year.

I haven't been able to shop much, but here's a couple things I picked up at Brookhurst Hobbies during our annual AMPS meeting at the store. I had a little money from a job and Brookhurst gave all us AMPS members a coupon giving us half off a second purchase bought at full price.
This first one is a tool I've been trying to get for 15 years! Forget the price! I finally got one:
With all these vehicles loaded with photo etch, it was about time!
This next one was a model I'd been wanting. I got this one for half off! This is the Modelcollect 1/72 scale Coastal artillery fort:
Yes, that is 1/72 scale and if you look at the box top, you'll see two twin AA gun mounts too. Those also come in this kit! I'm gonna have fun with this one!
That's all my acquisitions. You'll be able to see the fort in my next Maddog Manufacturing update!

Trumpeter sent me this since their stock of the ZSU-57-2 sprue trees were all damaged in the same way as the one I had and the replacement they sent. I asked for it since it allows me to convert, with minor effort, the MiG-29SMT to the 9.12 I prefer (more schemes).
