discussion Latest Acquisitions (2022)

Some bits and pieces and a kit for an upcoming G.B

Lol been looking for one of those as well. Not easy to find though.

 

[Allen Dewire]

For a vignette.


This image, and the next, are of model trees!

That looks like a good book Paul. I checked it out on 'rain forest' and the price shocked me. thought it would cost a lot less, even for its age...

Postie dropped off a package this morn. Won it on evilbay at 07:07 yesterday morning and had it in my hands at 10:15 today. It's not a kit, but a collection of indy tracks, RR tracks, roadwheels, final drives, sprockets and other finery. €26 delivered and super stuff for scratchy too!!! All this was in one plastic bag,


It took a while to sort it all out. That's a Pz. IV tranny and driver's compartment above the plastic bag, along with 2 huge "Karl" mortar shells (top). then,


RR track w/rails, Panther spare roadwheels from Takom, a big bang stick barrel and the frame from an unidentified vehicle. Then,


A bag of vehicle tools/jacks etc, link and length tracks for the Opel Maultier/Nebelwerfer and a huge set of Trumpy Panther tracks. Won't ever use these as the horns are separate and have to be glued on, 2 per link. Then,


Tiger I tracks, from Trumpy's mid Tiger I w/Zimmerit kit. Then,


Trumpy Pz. IV early tracks w/open horns and no chevrons on them. There were other tidbits in the box too...A lot of this stuff would make for a nice Panzer repair workshop diorama, but that's not in my cards......Or???......

Alternatively, you could just use it all together to scratch some robotic monster from a dystopian earth 200 years from now!

Woken at 08:10 by postie - definitely the last acquisitions of 2022!

These were ordered from Hobby Search in Japan on Sept.22 & delivered today - a few days short of 15 weeks................. This was by surface mail - a case of a slow boat from Japan, not China. This was done as the cheapest method, the two cost me around £21 delivered - a good price, if you're willing to wait! ( no tracking info either at that price )
I'd never seen these two models before - they don't seem to be seen outside Japan

Just in from Hannants.


The mask set is for a stalled build and the decals because I liked the Sea King markings. I wanted to do the 1/24 Hellcat as a winter project but I’ve had to delay starting again, installing underfloor insulation in the living room jumped the build queue.

 

[KarlW]

Just picked this up from Click'n'Collect.
Paid a little bit more than I wanted, but it was my Christmas bonus from work.

 

[minitnkr]

Ebey strikes. Prolly paid too much, but it was EOY, so what the hay.

 

[Mini Me]

Panther D looks like an older Heiser's model. let me know if you need any more of these, I might have one or two in the stash. Track detail on the Famo has always disappointed me. Otherwise it's a pretty good rendition. Have fun with these guys and Happy New Year to you and the Family! :smiling:

 

[minitnkr]

I believe it is Rick. ArsenalM seems to have the solution on track detail. Their Tiger II & Jagdtiger tracks are excellent.
Same to you & yours.
