Just had these through the post for some up and coming builds.[ATTACH]316784[/ATTACH]

I wasn’t near my books when I wrote there above yesterday night, but have now dug up Schützenpanzer by Bruce Culver and Uwe Feist (Bellingham: Ryton Publications, 1996, no ISBN) for more info. It says that the /10 was issued from 1940 (but doesn’t mention when in 1940 …) and the initial versions were basically as Tamiya shows them, with the full gun shield. The rear bench on each side of the hull, though, was replaced by ammunition stowage — going by the drawings, probably eight of the normal ammo boxes as supplied with the Tamiya 3.7 cm PaK 36 kit on each side, standing vertically one behind the other.

Many thanks for your research

I got these two from a work mate today. The F82 Twin Mustang is just in a bag with a nice decal sheet and photocopied instructions. It normally comes in a box like the one in the second pic. It’s a rather crude kit but I really wanted one.

Afternoon All,

Just back from the SMC in Holland on Sunday night. Great show, but not so great for the wallet, but hey, we all need a few things for our hobby….
[ATTACH]317440[/ATTACH]
€5 each for the resin sets (VW motor too). The Miter box, rolling tool and the punch set were a bit more I'm afraid...
[ATTACH]317441[/ATTACH]
A re-stock of the MM stuff, replacement for my 25 year old bottle of Kristal clear and new weathering materials. The brush looks cool...
[ATTACH]317442[/ATTACH]
Lots of grass, no not that type! Different lengths and shades and at €3,50 each...Cheap!!!
[ATTACH]317443[/ATTACH]
Pine trees for my dio (it's set in the woods). Not cheap, but I will use these as masters and make another 10 myself. Top quality!!!
[ATTACH]317444[/ATTACH]
Some etch sets and Didier from Azimut didn't have the kit I wanted re-mastered yet, so I got the resin tires for the Meillerwagen and a set of Opel Blitz tires too. The upgrade for the launch table was thrown in for free...
[ATTACH]317445[/ATTACH]
A ref book of my favorite thing's and the first 15 from 19 issues of Steel Masters. Missing are #'s 6, 11, 12 and 15. each issue is themed and are from 1999 forwards. In French with English subtitles and over 80 pages an issue...

I didn't buy any kits as the stash is too large, but everybody needs a rocket now and then...
[ATTACH]317448[/ATTACH]
I couldn't resist buying this one...
[ATTACH]317446[/ATTACH]
This is what I love the most and at €22 a set, you gotta love them even more. Giuseppe from Friul is da man!!!

They also have a raffle and you can get 3 envelopes for €5. I bought 3 on Saturday and 3 on Sunday. For my €10 worth, I had 4 winners out of 6 envelopes...

I really love Fish Face holding the egg!!!

Time to start saving up for next year……………………………..

[ATTACH]317492[/ATTACH]
Tools and supplies, got a little discount on the RP Toolz and luckily Allen found the guy selling the Czech-made tools again, simple functional tools and cheaper than other manufactures:
[ATTACH]317493[/ATTACH]
A bunch of add-ons with almost a complete set to upgrade a 104, detail on the Gaspatch guns is very fine too BTW:
[ATTACH]317494[/ATTACH]
Some reading and reference material:
[ATTACH]317499[/ATTACH]
And a stack of etch, fruils and such, don't look at the prizes got most of the FE sets for 4 each and the bigger Eduard for 8 each....
Got a good deal from Giuseppe of Fruil too 5 were 22 and 1 was 24 but since I bought them with 6 others for JR he gave a very nice discount...:smiling4:

Always great about those big shows, that you can find a lot with some good discounts.

And poor Fernando has to eat Hamburger Helper without the Hamburger for a month!!! I see you did manage to slip a few in there that I didn't catch. Yoda, the X wings, the 1/350 aircraft set and ladder sets. The ladders do look sweet though. Have fun My friend!!!!!!!

[Guest]

Well that was a shopping spree if their ever was, I was able to be part of this as Fernando and my good friend Dude 1 " Rocket Man Dewire " sorted out some tracks for me. Fernando kindly packed them up and has posted them off to me.
So to you two a big thank you, what a great couple of friends .:thumb2::thumb2::thumb2:

The last one Tony ( Yakface ) gave me to practice figure painting. Thanks mate.

[Jim R]

Allen and Fernando
You two will have to live on bread and water for the next 5 years to pay for that lot and probably live to 100 in order to build them all!:smiling:
Some great stuff which I am sure will find its way into blogs here for us all to enjoy.

Sorry Peter. Removed

I lost an aunt and uncle to one of those in WW2. Their daughter had been evacuated to my grandparents' house, so she was brought up like an older sister to me.

This lot came today, 0.2mm copper wire, water pens and plastic sanding needles.
