Latest Acquisitions (2021)

Nice haul Lee, as for the Sherman, the M4A3 is Tamiya's first Sherman kit so many would have built it. Its a rebox with the added figures.
The two boxes of figures are classic early Tamiya offerings and still are nice for dios with a little deeper engravings of the detail.

Cheers,
Richard

Forgot to say it is good for its day and age.

I built that Sherman a few times in its original guise. Yours seems to identical aside from the tracks, figures and having more accessories. As Richard says, it was good for its day, and because it’s Tamiya it will still assemble easily — it’s just a bit dated now you can get much better-detailed Shermans from the likes of Asuka, Meng and Rye Field Model. Nothing major wrong with it except that you shouldn’t fit the additional armour plates on the hull sides unless you also change the engine deck and hull rear plate to those of an M4A2

WOW, You guys must have been real good this year with those nice hauls!!! Me, I wasn't, as when Santa flew over, all he did was flip me the (middle) finger.................So, I took matters into my own hands and made some orders. Should be here before Friday, latest. Yesterday I went shopping in the €1 store and stocked up on things needed for some of them,



More later on when the goodies come and.......................No kits, No kits, No kits, in case you were wondering.........................

They are very good Andy, some photos are poorer quality as they were shot by squaddies 'in the field' but are included for other reasons than photographic skill; others come from more proficient photographers! There are many, many great ideas for dioramas! And, of course, they are a valuable historical record! I have two copies of No 22 (Desert) - PM me your address and you can have a belated Christmas 'gissit'!

Steve, I take it you build the Spitfire and then eat it afterwards when you get hungry???...........................

Unfortunately not Allen - some favourite biscuits and a very handy tin on completion - I always found aluminium hard on the gnashers so I can forgive SWMBO this once!
