Well, made my semi-yearly pilgrimage to Calgary this afternoon to stock up on Tamiya paints.
Of course if a Sherman kit did happen to cry out to me to take it home, how could I refuse.
Well paydirt was struck when I entered one of the stores today. Seems they had just recently purchased a collection of older kits and had them on the shelves when I walked in.
One was a kit that I was trying to lay my hands on, the Academy M-51 Isherman, $34 Canadian … not getting away from me… no way. Then, as I rounded the corner in the store I came face to face with the DML M4A3 POA-CWS-H5 Flamethrower … for $25. [:0] … another DML M-50 Isherman … also for $25 … and … the old Italeri M4A1 for $15.
Four Shermans for $100 Canadian.
Doesn’t get any better than that. [:D][:D][:D][:D]
A good day for Shermie for sure. Sounds like me the other day. Went in to get some paint while I was in the nieghborhood but could not pass up the halftrack with quad 50’s for $9.
that’s about what it’s like with the crazy euro over here .77 euro cents gets ya a dollar. it’s getting harder and harder to take out money to buy at the LHS even the cheaper kits are getting pricey and the COLA ( cost of living alowance) isn’t helping out much it seems?
I sure hope your talking about buying for Betty, Domi!!! [:0] [;)]
Robert it sounds like you hit paydirt! If they’d only had DML MM4A1 Early for you, you might have been so excited you’d forget to eat supper…nah, that wouldn’t happen!! [:p] [:D]
