I like the look of the Anson.
Very sad about Valerie G.

I have several Roden models in the stash - Indeed, the Gladiator is in my vision at the moment............

Nice post Dave.

John has some new stock in the shop - one of them is this - Aoshima 1/24 Toyota GX51 Cresta Super Lucent

Is it just me - or does that look wrong? Or is it meant to be a toon? Some of the other Aoshima car boxarts are a bit dodgy as well!

I’m guessing it’s a drifting car, based on its wheels

I thought maybe an Autocross racer, given the excess "camber" to the front and rear wheels to allow quicker cornering.:thumb2:

Radical camber.

We've got quite a few cars donning cambers and tyres like this on our roads. Weird!!

Japanese street rod. Probably on airbags suspension so it can be set down when parked.
The road quality must be a lot better in Japan. A mile on a UK B-road and that would be junk.

Let alone the speed bumps!

That’s just weird, especially on such a dull looking car……

Actual pre-WWI - like a transportable pill box.........

Don't know if the 88mm version was actual, or proposed...............

Dave,

The Jagdtiger main production utilised the 128mm Pak 44 L/55 gun.
Operational problems with this gun led to the proposal of installing the 88mm as used on the Jagdpanther.
Only one Jagdtiger was produced - designated Sd.Kfz 185 with the 88 mm L/71 gun.
About 12 of these Sd.Kfz 185 were built - but never completed due to lack of components.

HTH,

Paul.

That CSM kit looks very interesting Dave. At first glance it looks impractical, but after having a quick read up, I can see it’s on a transport cart, using light construction narrow gauge railways for final placement. As to the Jagdtiger, the 88mm version looks quite weedy in comparison to the “proper” gun.

Never saw pictured 'big box' version. Usually an AA mg placed there.
