Our Latest Acquisitions 2017-2025

The last model purchases for me were I found on my LHS’s shelf the 1/72 Airfix E-Boat and the 1/72 Revell S-Boat and both were from an estate sale and were reasonably priced.

@MR_TOM_SCHRY nice find!

Here are my latest acquisitions


This one was a Father’s Day gift. :grin:

This one is one I’ve been wanting for a while. There’s something about that inverted gull wing…

Stuff that I picked up this week…

What I do love about these lacquers is that they adhere great to plastic without primer, and once that they have dried and cured you can do any oil, enamel, or acrylic washes over them without a clear coat in between the layers

My delivery guy has been busy this week.

I didn’t like the exhaust stacks in the kit for the Airfix Defiant I am currently building, so I got this resin set.

An upcoming build is the ancient Monogram blue box Tigercat, with decals that look like they will disintegrate if I even mention water, so

And three kits that I wanted

I wasn’t looking for one, but couldn’t pass it up. Dirt cheap on Mercari

Where did you find these paint sets?

I get them at my work, a hobby importer/wholesaler. You can look online to see what retailers carry them.

One of the great benefits of working at a large hobby shop :laughing::laughing:

Yeah, it is the main benefit of working there. Otherwise, I’d still be retired :smirking_face:

Another goodie from my LHS’s second-hand table:


Wasn’t expecting it to be a literal bag of bits but it’s in surprisingly good shape otherwise lol.

Nice haul. That Pak 40 piqued my interest.

I think you’ll be very pleased with the Kitty Hawk OV-10. I was impressed as soon as I opened the box. Looking forward to your build on this one.

Amazon delivery,some summer reading

That’s a great job to be semi retired. I retire December 1st of this year!!! Can’t wait!! I found a part-time job here at my local hardware store if I want it.

Drums01, I definitely like your recent purchases!!!

Looks like some great reading material Tojo72! I’m in the minority that I still like to read “old school” books instead of electronic devices.

Well the local store in Narita took advantage of me again and I found this in my luggage “somehow”. :roll_eyes:

I need more kits like I need a tornado to rip the roof from my house. At least they look like a bit of fun. :grin:
