Graham Holmes Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I just "won" the Trumpeter 1/72 Tu-160 and Tu-16 on eBay, my Russian bomber fleet is now complete (Said in a Darth Vader voice). I already owned Tu-95 and Tu-22M. Who knows when i'll get started on these, need to start saving for Blizzcon Hold on there my young Padawan. You cannot claim to be complete without a Tu-22, and don't go claiming that you are covered with the Tu-22M, they are not the same plane, despite what those pesky Russkies may say. You too must deal with the old Esci kit, Hahahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wedfactory Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 My latest two pick ups...You can ignore the cartoon cover on the Shindin. It has been reboxed. It still has the full military kit and decals in the box. They added extra decals and 2 new parts for the cartoon version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would only use an upgrade set if I bought the kit from someone who included it inside the box. Even then, I'd have to consider how much more work it would be. Nice score on the new Tu-22.

I do have the TU-16 done as well The 72 scale Tu-95 is in my stash right next to the B-52, B-1 and B-2 all in 72 scale as well. Don't have the TU-160 or Bounder kits (there is a 72 Bounder but OOP and fiberglass fuselage). There is also a M-4 bomber model the is OOP (also with a figerglass fuselage) and Anigrand has the Sukhoi T-4MS, the losing design to the TU-160.

Mark Deliduka Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Well, it's been a while but I finally found the time to post these.These first two acquisitions came as birthday presents from Saul Garcia (Sharkmouth) and Jeff (Ausfwerks) on another Forums. These gifts were totally unexpected! They sent me some decals, some of which are for vehicles I can't get models of! LOL:The second gift they sent me was these two models. An IBG 15CWT Truck and an IBG Universal Carrier:These next models I had ordered from Hobbylink Japan with some Christmas money but held them in my "private warehouse" until I could get them shipped. These recently came with a few more on the way:Fujimi JGSDF AA truck:Fujimi JGSDF Radar truck:Fujimi Type 10 tank with Dozer blade:Fujimi German tanker truck:and a Revell of Germany MAN 5-ton truck:These are the latest I got. With that German MAN truck, I now have the 5-ton, 7-ton and 10-ton trucks in my inventory. Some of these may be started soon, taking me closer to me goal of 700 finished armor models.That's all for now. Once the second package arrives, I'll post that too. I believe it's the Japanese Patriot set.Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Well, I received another package today that contained the rest of my Hobbylink Japan order. These are what I got:Aoshima JGSDF 3-ton truck:And an Aoshima JGSDF Recoilless Rifle vehicle:I was quite surprised that the recoilless rifle box came with two kits inside! Sweet!That's all for now. Given how little money I have left, this will most likely be it for awhile... at least until the Nationals in Columbus...Thanks for looking in everyone!

Mark Deliduka Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Some time back I'd been given a Gift Certificate for Military Hobbies for my birthday. Yesterday, after our IPMS E-board meeting (held at Military Hobbies) I put it toward the purchase of this:Gee, with both Dora and Annie in my collection, I'm getting quite the harem.... :PI was so happy to finally get this. I took it to Hobby Day that same day and got started on it. You can see it in my Manufacturing Thread with all the other projects I'd been working on.

PeteJ Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Got to love it when the Brown truck rolls up with a HLJ box on board! I don't buy much anymore because I have 3 lifetimes worth on hand, but every once in a while a great model comes along at a barging price and I got to have it!

Mark Deliduka Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I agree Pete! Love getting packages in the mail. I'm like you though; I don't buy much, except when I get some extra cash for Birthday and Christmas. Can't afford anything any other time. But I do have lots to build in the meantime. You're gonna love the Mercedes! I got to look in the box at our E-board meeting and what I saw made me want to get one and I don't normally build cars!

Mark Deliduka Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 I just have a couple small things I picked up at the Brewer Brother's Show this past weekend:I'm not even sure what company made that Viking ship, but it looks like it's going to be a fun and exciting kit to build.That's all for now for me.

RGronovius Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I've been trying to downsize my stash so that when I buy new kits, I'm using funds I've received. A couple of kits I bought for around $30, the Bronco A34 Comet cruiser tank, I sold on eBay for $72 and $91 (the second kit included a Voyager PE/resin set and a resin mantlet) less shipping. I had two because I planned on building one as a WW2 tank and another as a post war tank. With the funds I bought a couple of 1/72 scale armor kits for $7 and $5. An added bonus was that my wife got a $10 eBay coupon (credit) for selling an item. EBay does this often; last summer I had to replace my garage door opener. I was going to throw the old stuff away (remotes, wireless key pad for garage door). When I was looking for a third remote for my daughter's car, I checked eBay and found one for less than half the price at Lowe's. After a quick search of the old items I had, I decided to list them when eBay gave me coupon incentives ($10 and a $25 coupon) to sell stuff. The auction for two of the remotes went for $23 and the auction for the wireless key pad and another pair of remotes went for $38. Not to mention the $35 in eBay credit for a bunch of stuff I was just going to through away, I made almost $100 on junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGronovius Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I've built a couple of the regular Soviet T-34/76 tanks and I've already built the Iraq 2003 Challenger 2. Both were decent kits and I couldn't pass up the deal on these two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
