Kaktus, this is a hefty lot of brass to be bend. You must be a better man than me, I would chicken out here...

well folks now that my buying season is somewhat over, been trying to get somewhat of a stash going without killing the budget or being killed by my wife, i can reveal some items. no pics.
my past in a/c has been 1/72 and 1/48 with only three in the 1/32 range. my future will be with a bigger focus on larger scale a/c. so with that in mind and with swmbo's permission i recently recieved:
1/32 trump f4f-3 early trump f4f-4 trump p-40b (x2) trump corsair (cant remember right off which of the two) hase p-40e (texas longhorn) trump p-51d (again cant remember right off which version)
1/24 (or maybe 1/25) 6 of the rat rod motife
i have also received a good amount of rod and strip styrene, tools (thank the wife greatly for this one), and some assorted paints.
over the last six or seven months i have actually recieved 9 other 1/48 a/c, one 1/35 armor, several detail sets, and one very important decal sheet for a pair of kingfishers that i purchased in the 9 a/c kits.
as this is a rare event for me to actually go on a run like this i have no pictures, seemed like i was bragging a bit.
of the kits in 1/48 two were the fort -g, one liberator -g, two kingfishers, and four hawk -b. one hawk -b was done (hawkenstein 2) and one fort is under construction. add to that one b-18 in 1/72 as a christmas/birthday gift from my eldest daughter.
to some this modest amount may not seem like much but it nearly doubled my stash and gives me the ability to not purchase kits for a while. i try to only buy when my stash reaches a low level.

Leipzig Expo is over... and finally I got my Ju 52 in 1/48. Plus Eduard masks, plus some decals* and even the first additional [resine!] figures in 1/48 scale. *Due to the fact that Im posting the WIP in another [German] forum as well, I had to censor the decals. Dont you laugh at me, ist the law here. A totally stupid law imho, but... ist the law. *eyeroll*

No worries Lucas on the censoring, totally understandable and why you'll often find decals with the swastika's as multi-part affairs if they are going to be distributed in Europe. IIRC France has similar restrictions as the German laws, so it's not just the one country affected. Nice haul for your special project!

It was a bit pricy, but just had to have another Dodge WC-54 Ambulance.
Why didn't you go for the bilek reprint? It's much cheaper, and Italeri's print is not as good as it's priced...

We had a burst of Merkava fever earlier in the year, now it looks like a KV-bug might be circulating! Nice way to 'convert' your present Luigi.

Thanks Unfortunately from july to mid september it's almost impossible for me to build anything. My mancave reaches 30-35 C, making it almost impossible to stay there

Went to ebay looking for something else entirely and came away with these two at too good a price to pass on ... - First kit for me with an interior and The black on the decals have faded to a mid-grey colour so replacements will be needed at some point

Dicky, nice haul Bub. I always figured you had brass, and now you proved it Just an interesting side note about the Arleigh Burke Class ships. They are built at Bath Iron Works on the Kennebec River in the Great State of Maine USA. Only about an hour and a half from where I live. It's a very cool place with a lot of history. Paulh, two interesting kits there. They look like they should be fun to do. What does the 7A1 have for tracks? vinyl, indies?

Hi Tanker- supplied with vinyl- but me thinks an investment is likely...

I got it wrong- no vinyl just indi-links! The vinyl tracks were from an italeri leo I had open at the same time- things got mixed up a bit.

Hi All! It's not easy to buy a proper paint rack here, so I designed my own and a friend of mine fabricated it. It's laser cut plexiglas.
