Ye, thats what i have heard. So £70 for the Dragon kit or £40 for the Rye Fields. No brainer. It looks nice in the box. I had the CMK kit for years and never got close to building it, now i have no excuses not to.
OK let’s see what you think of this one which showed up today.
It’s got the Pz IV, Sdkfz 7, the 88 and figures as well as Romel all in 1/72.
That looks interesting
That does look interesting. Those Hase kits are knocking on a bit butl nice kits. I still tend to opt for there 72nd vehicles when i need somthing for an aircraft dio.
So giddy that I finally have a styrene Discovery from “2001”. And as a poster over at Starship Modeller said, “My God, it’s full of parts…”

Buuuuuuuut no interior parts for the cockpit and pod bay. Aftermarket makers are already doing PE and resin interiors, and a masking set is already on sale.
If you hate indy tracks on armor models, avoid this kit. The “spine” has 11 segments with 66 cargo modules which have about 380 or so parts. Oh, and you will need a bigger work bench. (That’s my dining room table - my work space is too small to accommodate 41 inches of model.)

Now thats a kit and a half. At least the storage space doesn’t need to be wide.
I just saw that in the latest issue of the mag, tey will be doign a review on it. Hefty price tag as well.
Dave that’s a big kit Dave yes Hal
That’s a totaly cool kit G!!
I went to HL today just to see if they had the Revellogram B-24. While there wasn’t a B-24 there was the C-54D Skymaster which I’ve seen there plenty of times, but there was something different about it this time.
Whaaaa???
I couldn’t pass that up!
Great additions to the stash everyone. Wow! Modelcrazy $12.50 is a great deal. Rumor is Hobby Lobby might be building a store in my area, can’t wait.
I’ve been keeping the postal carriers busy since December and this will continue as I wait for two big orders from DragonUSA to arrive at my doorstep. They had some good sales recently.
I have a soft spot for Trumpeter’s 8 ton tractors , detailed with tons of intricate parts. A bonus came with the Stug III , inside were two complete kits an F and G model.
ICM make a great little 37mm. Pak especially when on clearance…
a great bonus arrived inside the Revell Panther G , inside was another Panther G kit some a/m resin wood storage cases and a CMK
resin Bergpanther conversion kit.
I’v got some diorama plans so I stocked up on a few items. The Verlinden demolished building got the imagination going.
Got a great deal on these Mirage kits. Some of are getting hard to find and down right expensive
nothing but love for Dragon.
Some A/M bits.
Dear RX 7850…
Please stop buying ENTIRE STORE’S !
You do not have to impress us, but it would be nice if there were at least 1 or 2 kit’s left in the store when we get there!
L O L !
Seriously tho, nice haul. I’m Jelous.
Once again, my wife made me drive all the way to Tuscan. And once again, the truck “malfunctioned” only a few feet away from the hobby store. So I got this to fix it.
Now my truck run’s … “Just fine” !
RX,
OUTSTANDING HAUL!! I like all of those you just purchased. I hope you post the figure sets…will make some great dio’s.
So, yet again I had to go to Tuscon for the wife to do her “shopping”
Yet again I “faked” a breakdown ( I think she suspect’s something, but I’m not sure )
But, I managed to get this stuff.
Got these 2 over the weekend. Got the mig because of the one that was in the aircraft section that was done so well, can’t remember who it was at the moment that did it.
And the Ju-88 because the reviews said it was a great kit, and by looking at the sprues I tend to agree.
John
I’ve got that 88 John and have compared it in the box to the Hasegawa kits and there is little between them. Looks amazing and a fraction of the price of the offering from Japan.
Yes, I was comparing the two in the store aswell. I also had a $10 birthday coupon from the LHS so that’s why I got 2 kits, made it much easier to add to the stash!
John
It was MonsterZerothat did the MiG-21
John that mig 21 reminds me of ice station zebra!
just opened this puppy up.
I guess Im going to get tanked one way or another.
Don’t remember migs being in that movie, now I’ll have to watch it again.
I just watched it the other day. They show models for closeups and F-4’s for live shots.
And whiskey dose help for sea sickness lol
