Our Latest Acquisitions 2017-2025

These aren’t the droids you’re looking for…

LOL! Not any more…there are 8 others out there to be found. LOL!

I’ve acquired a few sweet gems over the past few weeks.

First and foremost is a pair of these very nice 1/72 AMK Kfir IAI C2/C7’s. First time I’ve picked up an AMK kit and a glance inside the box is quite impressive. The armament alone is extremely nice.

And then there are these wonderful additions:

What’s the deal with the missiles and bombs? 3d printed? You’re going to like that B-25. I miss accurate miniatures

I believe they are side molded. In either case, it’s a beautiful piece of engineering as there are no seams with this method. Stunning really.

No doubt about Accurate Miniatures. They certainly were a high water mark for kits in their day.

That’s a nice haul. I especially like the super corsair. I’ll have to keep a watch for that one.

@Joe,

Very nice haul! I particularly like the F11F and the Kfirs.

Bobby,

Wow! If having an Bandai problem is a problem, then I want a Bandai problem too! Very nice haul!

just aquired these two this week, I want to try to the same thing to this corsair as is in the April edition of fine scale. the A-wing fighters, well they are Ban Dai and just fantastic little models, getting addicted to them. 40% off Hobby Lobby coupon is fueling it.

Guess I am getting back into armor now thanks to recent sales over at Sprue Brothers, Squadron and Dragon and a figure kit from E2046.

The King Tiger arrived today to join his Porsche cousin. The others came in over the last few days.

Having trained on the F-4 MB seats during AME school, I couldn’t pass up this kit. The figure kit will be used in a planned dio with another liked dressed figure but as with the first one I’m working on, it will be painted in a full body suit one black this one maybe in a gloss cherry red suit.

A size comparison between the 1/10th and 1/48th seats.

Will have to try to figure out how to come up with all the data plate stencils for the seat. I’m hoping a Gru-7 in this scale is in the works

John - I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, you can never go wrong with another F4U Corsair kit. Good on ya’!

With that said, I just received my newest addition to my extensive Corsair stash. I’ve been needing a Commonwealth clipped Corsair to further complete my collection.

A couple manufacturers I’ve never built. Both look nice upon initial inspection though I’ve heard the Salvinos Jr kits have some accuracy issues. The Zlin Z-50 is AZ Models - I was inspired by the bigger scale build in Damaged.

John those two manufacturers are new to me too. The 442 looks pretty darn nice though.

A few more Airfix goodies for the stash.

Another nice bunch of additions there Chad. The Scout is anotehr i would like to Airfix do new tools of, along with the Lynx and gazelle.

Absolutely, a newly tooled Scout would be awesome!

The Tucano is really cool

Another shipment arrived :slight_smile: Restock on Tamiya tape and trying some MIG products out on this cool Hasegawa kit - again influenced from Damaged (spring issue has the Zlin and this Hitachi double-front working machine)

Chad, you are digging deep into the Airfix archives now.

John, that’s a mean looking beast.

I don’t comment much on this thread, as I am concerned my jealousy will show through. [6] I do, however check it out every time I see a new post. Nice hauls everyone.

We had a convention this weekend, and well…you know how that goes:

These are all used kits except the Airfix, and I am pretty pleased with what I was able to pick up.
