But here... Did I say, that I wanted a tank kit and my wish was rudely blown away by a friendly client? modelerssocialclub.proboards.com/thread/10500/model-shop-yearA short trip to my uncle (lives in the same town where my favourite shop is) brought something new for the stash. Friendly service as always, a bit pricey is the kit, but heck... its Dragon and you KNOW you get awesome quality for your bucks. IJA colors went home, too.  So be it...  |

So technically I picked this up on the 30th, but whatever.  I'll confess, the MiG-31 doesn't really do much for me, subject-wise, but this kit is so well done, so absolutely dripping with the obvious passion put into its design, that it snared me anyway. I'm a sucker for rewarding passion and above-and-beyond execution. After the camo masking hell of the 104, I may be breaking this one out soon. A nice, uniform gray might be a good break! |

I promised myself no new kits in 2016OMG, that was just too funny. Oh wait... you were serious?  Doogs that will be a fun one to watch. Deano, great looking kit when done but it will be a test of your skill, and ore likely than not, patience.

My first buy for the year...trying to make this one my last (who am I kidding!  ) for a little while!! Not a heck of a lot of parts but it's hhhhuge!! It comes with a figure who looks like a really bad Tamiya joke, probably thrown in the box just to show the size comparison against the big guy  |

Hell Shay, from where did you get this T-Res set??? They are out of production for years! If you can, get the othe kits too: Triceratops Set, Parasaurolophus Set (with juvenile!), Brachiosaurus Set, Velociraptors Pack of six, mesozoic creatures (hope, I have listed all). They are great!

Hey Shay Frank Tigrazor.
I have been buying most of my kits of a guy in Japan. Great stock and good prices - especially on Tamiya products like Panel Line Wash, the small cotton buds etc.
Anyhow Shays dinosaur looked familiar, I just checked his stock. He has 10 Different Tamiya Dinosaur kits in stock. A few of them are only $3 to $5 US dollars up to about $18. Postage would cost more than some of the kits cost but if someone brought a few the cost on each would drop. I usually buy 8 to 20 items from him at a time and post per item works out ok.
So if these are rare or hard to get - then I can give you a cheap source. PM me if you are interested and I will tell you how to find him.
