Well…please don’t judge me too harshly. There were deals to be had on a lot of cool stuff. You see, I chose the wrong day to go to my local hobbytown. They had just finished inventory and pricing on a 1000ish kit collection they purchased from a widow. They’re consigning the most expensive and desirable kits for her at a 50/50 split but she wanted everything out of her house quickly and he was an avid hobbytown customer so she cut a deal with them for the rest also. So everything is priced very right. And I bought far too much stuff. 🤦🏻♂️ Coming in at the cheapest end at 15 bucks was the Maverick Dodge 330 and most expensive was the Brabham at 30 bucks. While this was going on my order from Plaza Japan from a month ago arrived. Always takes awhile but if you’re not in a hurry the prices are well worth it if you like Japanese manufactured kits. The key being to play with how many kits you buy until shipping becomes negligible. To my door, these ended up around 27 a piece. Far cheaper than I could ever find them over here even without shipping. They also threw in a fan and an eraser figure. I’ve coveted the 240 since Tamiya released it and have wanted the Alpine for years. Now, where am I going to put all this stuff…

Great haul Kyle. I've got the 240zG boxing of that kit and it's a beauty. Chrome window trim!

I'm especially excited about the new 240z from Tamiya. I've also been trying hard not to buy all those group C porches I have been seeing lately. I think I've finally lost the battle and have a few in my cart HAHA

Just got this guy in the mail. Paint should be here Friday! This’ll be a blast. Such fun builds. Also I’ve been super excited about that 240 and shockingly enough, this is my first Hasegawa group C of any kind. They’ve been in my cart several times but finally pulled the trigger.

Super stoked to grab a VF-1S Hasegawa Eggplane with box art illustrated by Hidetaka Tenjin! Huge decal sheet for both Roy Focker and Hikaru Ichijyo (aka Rick Hunter) variants. These sensor decals should come in handy (various colors available)

Thanks Joe. I figured that since these were the beginning of the US Army Armor Branch, my collection needed one. I’ve never built a FT-17 before, and the only WWI tank that I’ve ever built was the old Airfix blister pack Mark I Male about 50 years ago…

Ok chaps....normal service has been resumed albeit with a bit of a twist!! ACW as usual! Andrew -------------------------------------------------- First up masks for the recent wingy purchases! The washers are for my next run of in-flight magnetically attached planes. Now this next one is a real departure. I first came across the T-10 in the early 80s, in a late 1970s board wargame called Arab Israeli Wars by the now defunct company Avalon Hill, which started me down the wargaming route and of course are the last in the line of Soviet Heavies. I was following one on a Facebook Auction site but missed it, as I had to pop out. It went for only £32 delivered…..the cheapest delivered new I can find is £65….so half price.....gutted was I. Then another one popped up a few days later on Fleabay for a very good price. I had a closer look and saw the list of AM parts it came with it....and thought it would be rude not to. By my reckoning the kit and AM parts would have cost around £150 brand new combined......by contrast I only paid £47 for the lot....and that would still have been a very good price for the kit on its own. So if I decide not use all the AM parts, I could make a lot of back selling it second hand!
