I also found a "holy grail" kit that I have been looking for. It's even difficult to get in Japan.

If you can't fix it with duct tape, you're not using enough duct tape.

Picked this one up the other day. It fills the want for both a wooden clad Sherman and a deep wade version. I'm thinking a simple beach landing dio, perhaps.

Brandon, as a irredeemable Shermaholic I highly approve of your new Sherman :hmm:

Mike, that :quotes: thing :quotes: does not qualify as a Zero… :tease: But it is pretty cool :wink:

The postman just brought me a new primer to be tested, MIG Ammos ”A-stand Laquer primer”, also a microfiller.

Will be interesting to test it out on my Avenger

Saw this built recently and had to grab one. I got the Caracal set to make it a C-131 military bird
