The Spitfire and one of the Hellcats are missing instructions which is no big deal. Sold those to me for $10 each
I have those three in different boxings, let me know if you need a copy of the instructions.

Hasegawa's stock price went up dramatically on Friday. Somebody know the reason? :giggles:

Yesterday, I went to the IPMS Syrcon Scale Model Show 2021; the first time they resumed the show in 2 years. Good crowds and lots of vendors. I bought 6 raffle tickets for $5 and scored 3 out of 6 numbers called. So here they are in order:

Raffle #1- Not my cup of tea but am willing to part with it on a trade.
Image

Image


Raffle #2 - I have no use for these but if Carlos or anyone wants them, let me know. I'm up for a small trade of sorts.
Image


Raffle #3 - Finally something I can live with. I've been wanting to get a Kingfisher for some time now. This one includes PE parts. :lashed:
Image

Now my purchases:

Yellow Line Firestone tires, Slicks and a driver with 3 different heads - street and racer. I'll use it on one of my dragster kits. Got these for $10
Image


Baldwin Motion Camaro; $22 - I finally redeemed myself buying a sealed kit this time.
Image


P-3C Orion - $35 but I got it for $25 because the vendor has been watching me looking at it about 4 or 5 times. He made it worth my while. I've been wanting to get another P-3 Orion for a long time.
Image


B-52G Stratofortress 1/200 scale; $15 I'm almost positive this was the same kit that was ripped off from me back in '99. This one included Rome Griffiss AFB tail markings.
Image


I did this one a long time ago but this one is 1/72 scale. I've done the Monogram 1/48 scale P-38 Lightning but didn't find one there. This one I'm doing in place of the horrible Revell P-61 Black Widow kit. Go tthis one for $7 instead of $10. Decals were partially used.
Image


Not a model kit but a book. I've seen this advertised in one of the UK magazine publication a few years ago. Got this one for $8. It's about a German POW captured by the Russians during the Battle of Stalingrad.
Image

I will post pics of model kit entries later.

Nice haul. The Orion and Kingfisher are on my wish list. Book looks interesting. After reading Antony Beevor's books Stalingrad and The Fall Of Berlin - I surely would not want to be a German POW in Russia!
Thanks,
John

God, no. Especially during the Russian harsh winters. After Hitler invaded the Mother Country by surprise, surely they had reasons to hate them even more.

Got a Tamiya 1/35 M48A3 Patton today. Check my build for more details, I didn't take a picture of the box.
