It was my birthday the other day & the kids ( I suspect with a little help from Carol looking at my search history) ordered me these....



They couldn't have got in any more right. It also means I now have a "stash". :upside:

Firstly Dan..... HAPPY BIRTHDAY mate:thumb2:,
Secondly...... a couple of very nice kits indeed,one of those Tractors has made it onto my "wish List":money-face:!!

Dan,
A happy belated birthday mate.

 

[CarolsHusband]

Thanks for the Birthday wishes folks.

The HST looks like a really nice kit, lots of detail and extra parts. Should be fun.

 

[Guest]

I'm supposed to be reducing the stash, however, today the postie delivered a minor aberration ...



My only defence is that I'm now classifying myself as a 'collector' rather than a 'modeller'.

 

[rtfoe]

Happy belated Birthday Dan.

Cheers,
Richard

Dan,
the HST is a much underrated model, I've made both variants & both turned out well. It was a shame that HobbyBoss never made the 3" AA Gun for it to tow!!
Dave

Dave, AFV have a kit of the 3" Gun but an M5 version. I got it specially for the tractor. Even got the other tractor to pull the 155mm gun that I built.

Cheers,
Richard

After a very generous price from @Murfie this arrived today. I tried to overpay him so he didn't make too much of a loss from the RRP but he was having none of it.
Thank you again!

My pleasure. These later ICM kits are quite exceptional in quality. I've got the 1/48 version, hence the reason for disposing of the 1/72. Thanks for the purchase, Jack.

Although I haven't been too active here or at the table, I am still on the lookout for a good bargain on the www. and around town I found some new shelving to store the stash on at a local hardware store. 150 kilo capacity for each shelf,



2 for under €60 and I got rid of the saggy plastic ones finally....Trolling evilbay, I also found these 2, a week apart and from the same seller at really good prices,



Hetzer first, for €24 delivered (it's the Academy kit re-boxed w/o the masks) and the Friuls a week later for €20 delivered. When I opened the Friuls, they had the drive sprockets in the sealed bags too. No mention of them on the box though. cool!!!........

Oh, and a belated Happy Birthday from me too Dan!!!

Dude 1 Just because you have some new super duty shelving there is no need to go mad on Evil Bay, mind those Fruils for 20 Euros:thumb2:

Postman's been.

 

[Guest]

This arrived today.

 

[outrunner]

Nice!

Andy.

 

[Dave Ward]

All the way from Hong Kong....................

A nice sale price, 8 days delivery from HK. Increasingly hard to find in UK. 2 delivered for the price of one delivered in UK ( if in stock! )

[peterairfix]

Just arrived.
For my 1/48 seaking.

 

[The Smythe Meister]

I`m starting to run out of Vietnam related AFVs :anguished:.... HOWEVER.....
... I had completely forgotten about one of THESE......

My,my,my..... It`s one i looked at many moons ago,and at that time i also loved the look of it...... but i wasn`t into Vietnam stuff then:rolling:.......
..... but that was then,and this is now!!..............
............. And although i quietly sneaked it into my "Watch List"........ Rach spotted it,and bought it for me!!:surprised::thumb2: ,
Following that,i then purchased these.....

Not completely correct for the era,but some of it will be useful!
This should help my Vietnam fix continue for a while yet then?
Don`t ANYONE tell me that Steve,(Airborne 1),recently bought the same stuff!!:tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy:
