What...a Sherman...you....Nice Catch brother John! OH man! Jeff thats gonna be fun to watch you build that. So when ya gonna build it? Ive not seen that kit before. Nice Brother Jeff. Hey Gary! How's your workbench coming along? Getting everything sorted out and in it's place? I'll start the build on the Sherman as soon as I get my grubby little hands on it. And that should be Tuesday or Wednesday. Also here but on another channel, the Japanese Type 2 (Ka-Mi) Amphibious Tank, the "Combat Version" I'll start on too as I am trying out a 2 workbench/project system. This way I'll never get bored on a build as I am a very streaky builder. I spent 2 hours cleaning up just one desk so soon I hope! Jeff

I forgot to mention that my son who is studying German. I think he said 'One for Country... Country for All' engraved on the compass cover. And I as a German have to say that hes absolutely right with his translation Maybe "country above all" is the better translation, but imho thats quite the same... But... I guess its not even worth 5$, because that one is definetely a counterfeit!
The right words should be "Alles für Deutschland" and "Deutschland über alles"
See that there are no Umlauts printed? And what about "furuberales"? That sound Spanish to me. Theres the words "für", "über" and "alles" - but the combination of "für" AND "über" doesnt even exist in German, thats "Kauderwelsch" so to say... Sorry to say that - if you have the possibility to give it back and get a refund, do it...

A member already sent me a message about this... either its a counterfeit or it was sold by craftsmen at the ports during WWII trying to make their living during Germans occupation. It won't be that easy getting refund... unless I can return to Bulgaria. LOL It was worth the risk as my friend wasn't sure and not being into militaria stuff. Compass itself is pretty old and heavy so it will be a good reminder that there are many counterfeits out there. Thank you again!

Great buys all - some nice kittage there Robbo - I have the cutaway drawings ready for the T-Class sun-dodger if they'll be of any use Pete - the Panther in styrene is absolutely top of my wishlist - if not, I'll have to scratch one.....plenty of other projects lined up before then tho, it'll wait, someone will bring one out....PLEASE SOMEONE!! BRING ONE OUT! Where did you pick up the Arkebuza stuff? Be interested to see yer use that - looks cool, no-one's managed to crack it yet eh? Nemo, I believe that italeri had one listed as a future release and think it was the standard hard body version but I have no info on release dates. As for the camo netting our very own Brian638 put me onto it when we met at the IPMS Avon show. I ordered mine from a-z-models.com.ua Very fast delivery and good price too. The netting is unpainted so you can spray it any colour you want then according to the instructions you crumple it up and stretch it then apply to the model.

Well worth thinking about Mr F, any chance of seeing the drawings to see if it's worth thinking about, although you have already planted the seed....damn

You have seen the size of the kit jackwagon. It's about the size of a good fat Cuban cigar. I think I'll leave the cut away for you Was you on this class?
