Tony glad you got what you wanted but i too have got to stop browsing, my truck stash is becoming out of control, it takes 4 to 6 weeks to build one now there's 18 waiting.

Lol, the Airfix men came down the glen like a charge of Bengal lancers one in nine had served his time the rest were blinking chancers.

Wow Gents,

I know that feeling all too well. I don't have to hide them, but evilbay is whacking the wallet lately. I guess it's all good though! Just a few things to show...

I have a soft spot for the Goliath and I got this for €15 to the door…..

The seller also included this for free...One heck of a surprise!!!
View attachment 309467
These were also cheap as compared to what one would normally pay including postage. €29 and €17 to the door...
View attachment 309468
Tomorrow comes the New Meng Tiger II with Porsche turret for €30 to the door. I gotta stop the madness like, right away!!! I'm tired of Hamburger Helper without the hamburger every night for dinner…………….

Gary, The quality is good and it's almost the same as the Dragon offering. The plastic is probably a lot better than the brittle stuff Dragon made their kit from. I will take a few shots of them side by side and post them for you to see what I mean. One day I will bring my 'Night Moves' project back to life. 2 of these puppies are the star in it.

Dude 1, You don't want to know...Like 8 Panther kits, 7 Tiger I & II kits, 14 Pz. IV based kits, over 22 half tracks of various types from 1 ton to 18 ton and I won't even go into soft skins, arty pieces, oddballs, 38T, Pz. I, Allied stuff, figures, accessories, and, and, and...…………..

This did come yesterday and it's a beauty, but it's not in red plastic. Included are an alu barrel and a top secret map of Caen from 1944, SHHHHHH, don't tell anybody!!!

Afternoon Good People,

NO more goodies to post!!! I have taken some comparison pics for Gary M, of both the Dragon and Tamiya Goliaths with crews. Both are well detailed (we won't mention the Esci attempt). Both contain 2 Goliaths and Dragon gives you 2 sprues of the same 2 figures, as Tamiya gives one sprue with 3 figures. Dragon in grey and Tamiya in tan plastic...
View attachment 309690
Dragon's plastic is more brittle and great care must be taken removing the indy links from the sprue. You can also see that the Tamiya kit is not a copy of the Dragon kit. It looks close though...
View attachment 309691
Here you can compare the cable reel and the side panels of both kits...
View attachment 309692
And a side by side of the figures. The Thumbnail pics are of the other side of the sprues. Oh, and Tamiya throws this in too...

Hope this helps a bit

(we won't mention the Esci attempt).

Was looking for the Su-33 for sometime at a normal price, the Lince is a great companion for a Centauro I've lying around and the mounted infantry set is for a current project to fill up the base.:smiling:
Some reading and reference material:

The rest, well just impulse acquisitions.:nerd::smiling5:

Fear not, I have seen it.
I also own all of the videos, DVDs and Blue Rays (Original theatre release, re-mastered and the horrible George Lucas re-hash)

That Dragonfly is a nice kit.Wouldnt mind one myself

 

[Guest]

That F-16 book has a terrible subtitle … I wouldn’t mind owning a copy of that Lysander book, though — I always liked that aircraft ever since I saw it in my treasured 1980 Matchbox catalog.

So true, with a bit of effort it can be a real gem strait out of the box:thumb2:
