A very nice haul there Moni! You'll have them all built by Christmas\ said:well took some time out today too go to a swop meet , little ways from home ,but I just love a bargain,yes bargains,
and I never real over do it,As i did need some more Russian armor,and guess what else so nice German as well,
as always very few figuer kits and I did not pay the $12 as marked payed 5,which is fair and 3 for the other,its a
spot meet so why not ask for a discount if its 25 I as for 15 they will come back and say 20 so is all good,if I buy
2 I ask for 10 or 15 off and most times get wont I wont as not alot of female like armor models,and never hurts to as for cheaper,
so I hope you do like my little mass of very nice kits in my eyes,
Watch out for those early Dragon kits though. Some of their Imperial series are great, but others are re-boxes of older Gunze Sangyo kits. They can be pigs to make!
ta for the heads up Steve,glad you like them,
I hope till march as that's the next meet,meant to be one next week closer to home i did not know about,
oh well,next year go to that one,
even the name sounds scary lol
,Gunze Sangyo kits,well I hope if I run into one its not to bad,and just a bit of playing about,no not a bin job lol,

Great haul Monica, you definitely have an eye for a bargain or two, some lovely kits there, it's almost making me want to go out and get a few
ta Tommy,glad your liking them,
it was a real good little meet no mountain men pushing me out of the way,
I did come home with some cast,could of got a couple more but always next time,and that
will do for a bit,selling off some 1,72/6 kits to a guy I know ,who dose go to all the meets about,
so that will give a little for me to spent on figures ,as there were very few,

for those that dont read cyrillic.......
the truck is a Gaz-66......multi purpose truck made from mid 60s to about 2000, used as a basis for all sorts of things, still in wide spread use the world over..............the gun is a ZU-23, again used all over since way back when
apparently you can build this towing the gun, rather than mounting it, which id prefer to do, then load up the truck with gubbins, but we shall see

I got some neat stuff at the national competition here.
My favorites are these ancient Kovozavody Prostejov models.

Which I honestly just bought because they look neat.

And KP were one of the first Czechoslovak plastic model manufacturers.

And in the 90's the Czech republic became a real powerhouse of all types of kits and accessories.

This is a nice detail that stood out to me. These tips are all still good and valid today, but number 10 is sometimes forgotten even if it is one of the most important.

I'll probably not build these models. They withstood the test of time for this long, they can wait a little longer as a reminder of how far this hobby has gotten.

View attachment 238275

Cheers,Ben

Went into my local shop on the way home from work for some paint ........... Came out with one of these (Yes it's a stock photo scammed of the net).

Never built a Heller kit ............ So it might be rubbish. But for £ 13.00 it's a cheap punt. I'll find out when I start putting it together after I finish the Hyabusa.
