Thanks, man! I missed it over there. It’s a great figure!
Yeah, I’m with you on “1941”. I enjoyed it, and all of the cast do very well. Who cares what critics think? Most of the time, they’re in their own little world, anyway.
I never did get Revell’s reboxing of their P-40E kit, though. When I think about it, their generic pilot figure was probably as close a depiction of Belushi as any other!
I added a few items to the stash lately. I picked up this conversion set on a consignment sale. I can some of it for one project. But now I suppose I could pick up a couple more kits to use up the rest…
and I’ve been in the mood for Korean War and 50’s Cold War builds lately, so I grabbed this…
I saw this on Revell’s web site and had to special order it from my LHS. I know it’s a re-pop of the ICM kit but the revell one ia about $14 cheaper! plus it has a splinter camo paint job for the night fighter instead of all black. Couldn’t wait to get it!

Oh, and that’s a special black box instead of their typical blue.
Thats meant to be a really nice kit John, ICM only released it last year. Not sure what the deal is with the Revell black boxes. It used to be differant genres had differant colours.
That’s the same style as they’re using for their 1/1200 ship kits, too. I figured it’s just “this year’s style”.
Ohhhhh cool stuff guys!!!
After buying all those tanks I started rooting though my figures and found I really didn’t have any crews for them so it’s back off to spend more money on the internet [:(]
And with Velinden going out of business I picked up these. I really hope someone picks up their molds and reissues this stuff, it’s too good to let the molds sit in some warehouse somewhere unused.
Those Verlinden figures sould be great.
Gamera, those Miniart figure sets are great. I’m a big fan of their sets.
Yeah I love the Verlinden stuff, they’re not quite on the same level as say Alpine but still they’re really nice figures.
And I love Miniart too, I’ve got most of their tanker sets. Funny, they’re designed for a Sherman but with only small modifications they fit my Meng T30/30 perfectly.
I bet those Miniart figures will work in most if not nearly all WWII US tanks. Perhaps even most of types of turreted Army AFVs such as Tank Destoyers and guns like the M8 HMC.
Picked up a few more for the stash at Noreastcon today. So many kits to choose from, so little money! Lol.
All in 1/48 F-105G Thunderchief, B-26 Marauder, F-117A Stealth, F-16.
That’s a very nice haul the Keyda!
Well, last nite I got lucky… [whstl]
at the monthly IPMS Raffle
That looks interesting.
Excellent additions.
Nice Stuff everyone,I knew I could never keep up with you guys
Man, what a great Thread here! Love seeing the stuff everyone picks up! Great stash increasers everyone!
Well, I went to the Pelicon yesterday! It was a great show! More vendors then the Venice show, but not sure if they had as many as Modelpalooza. The models in the show were outstanding!!! Really awesome work! Didn’t pick up my usual 20+ kits…but did increase the stash by 8. Spent a lot more money on tools and stuff. Bought more glue, lots of tools from Janes, and found a guy out of Ft. Myers that had a bunch of the new Tamiya weathering stuff. I picked up some Tamiya black Panel Line Accent and Diorama Texture paint (Soil Effect dark Earth). BUT!!! The best find I got…WAS…MY 1/72 B-52!!! Finally got this kit that has been eluding me for so long due to ridiculous prices on them. It’s not the original boxing I got back in the day, but I have one now!
[BACK STORY]: Back in 197? (I’ll let you figure it out). I received my Christmas money from my grandparents and headed out to buy myself more models…of course. Went to the hobby shop and there at an end cap was a 1/72 B-52. WOAH! Had to have it. Back then I paid a whooping $25!!! I got this one at the show yesterday for…$20!!! Oh yeah, I did the happy dance on this one! Just about ripped the pocket off my shorts getting the $20 out! LOL! [whstl] It was the first table as I walked in! It was like it was meant to be! Sorry for ranting on. But this is a happy thing for me. 20 bucks people!!! Can I get a WOOT WOOT!? LOL!
Anyway, here is what I got. Yes Bish, your 251 legacy is rubbing off on me. I have something like 4 251’s now! Thanks! [;)]
Nice haul there Bobby. Now where you gonna hang that big BUFF.
Nice to see you got a couple of 251’s there. Especially the Stummel. Will be interested to see that SD, makes a change from the Imperial ones.
My son was looking for a 1:1 version of this but they are few and far between here in the UK, so he bought a BMW 3 Series estate in the same colour instead to carry his mountain bike around…
Outstanding score Bobby! Very happy to see folks latch on to something on their bucket list at a bargain. Good on ya’ my friend.
