Latest Acquisitions (2023)

Like Mike, I figured that if nobody would give me a Christmas present, I’d buy myself some. Did that last Saturday, but they only arrived from Belgium tonight:



The sand-coloured paint is for the Panzer IV I’m building at the moment, the Magach is to pilfer for its tracks for the next model I intend to build (don’t worry, I’ve done the research and this particular type was also, but rarely, seen with the older tracks so I will build it later with a set of those :smiling3: ).

The M3, finally, will be the basis of a T6 medium tank — which is to say, the Sherman’s prototype. I saw earlier tonight that a 3D-printed one of those has just been released, which worried me slightly until I looked at the image of it :smiling3:
Liking the M3 Lee Jakko.
 
Got the 6B GAL under the bench, which is another must do along with the Merkave IV....
I’ve got a regular 6B from the old Esci kit (well, an Italeri reissue) that I built ages ago but never did finish. For now, though, this 6B Gal kit will just be a donor of its tracks and drive sprockets to the Takom M247 Sgt. York :) I intend to later build it as a 6B Gal but with T142 tracks on it, which did exist even if they seem to have been very rare.

Liking the M3 Lee Jakko.
All I’ll use of it will be the lower hull (including suspension, track etc.), the engine deck, the commander’s cupola, the head- and taillights, and a few more bits and bobs :) The end goal is this:

That is to say, the T6 medium tank prototype. I’ve already got an Asuka early M4A1 upper hull (bought as a spare straight from the manufacturer) and a Panzer Art very early Sherman turret that I got for something like €7 instead of the €21 I see it costs new, so now all I need to do is put in the work to put everything together, hack it about a bit, and putty over the gaps and other things ;)
 
Timimg couldnt have been any better, put on the last bit of masking tape just as the postie arrived with paint i was waiting for1000002305.jpg

Another first!! For my first attempt at after market parts. IP and back seat displays and a decal sheet to steal a few bits from
for my up and coming Sea King build.

And the last delivery of my pressies to myself...

Been threatening myself I would build another - last one was built pre 1980 and a Tamiya kit, was finished with home made Zimmerit.
So Santa - eat my dust....
