There seems to be a run on Tamiya's old M41 these days. I wonder what is going on? Even I have one in the pipe:

Solid additions Emery. Always good to add armor from the Tamiya stable. For the record, I am not a contributor to the Tamiya M-41 hoarding conundrum. Nice work Neal. Hope to see the finished product soon. A few weeks ago I threw out a bid on these attractive decals on a FB auction group and won. I then checked on ebay for a Hasegawa P-40N kit and found them to be rather pricey. And then a week ago a fine gent threw this up for auction on the same FB group. After a little bidding war I tossed my upper limit and won. It arrived today. I I was quite pleased to score this. Now to head over to the Ultracast site and pick out some of their outstanding resin AM for this kit.

Nice P-40N stuff Joe! The two tone camo checker tail scheme looks tempting!

It took a little longer, about 4 weeks compared to 2 weeks, but hey there's a war going on over in Ukraine. The funny thing is that the package spent 2 out of the 4 weeks here in the USA. Based on the tracking info, my guess is that it got off the plane on the east coast, then the USPS put it on a truck to San Fran, then it got put on a boat to Hawaii. I wonder if we will be seeing any T-54-1s in Ukraine?

Back on May 6th, we had our local model show in Houston called Modelmania 2023. Didn't get much but got one "holy grail" kit in the form of the Meng EA-18G Growler.

I'm quite pleased but the 1/72 haul during my time away FAR outweighs this haul!

Magnificent haul Andrew! You did very well in your Eduard choices. Their Hellcat is a superb kit in both 1/72 and 1/48. I just recently asquired the Wildcat and it is also impressive. As a fellow 1/72 enthusiast I would love to see more of what you got in the one true scale. Well done my friend. Well done indeed.

I'm going to try to make this my last purchase for the year unless something really special shows up. Are you trying to make me laugh. It'll never happen. Nope...no way
