I’ve ordered these items off of eBay recently. First up is an interior parts sprue from the Tamiya M113 that I will use on my Tamiya M577. The 577 kit does not include any interior…
Then I picked up these items, a decal sheet and some old Koster early type exhaust stacks for the long sidelined semi completed 1/48 Monogram He-111 in my shelf of doom. I did a bit of research and found that I can cobble together markings from this sheet for a Battle of Britian He-111H-3. The exhausts were needed for the H-3 type.
So sometime late this year or early next year I will get on the He-111 “Child of Doom” project. And the M577 as well

What a bunch of catches there Mark !
I'm just wondering, how can you still find 1:72 kits you don't already have or have built or or ??

Thank you Kari! Yes, occasionally I can. I have to go with some of the more esoteric companies though, but overall, there's still a few out there. And as long as Trumpeter, Meng, Takom and Modelcollect continue to release unique vehicles like these, I'll have something to build.
I agree, Steve is a great guy! I bought a few more things from him at Orangecon this past weekend.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.
The German half track piqued my interest. I wasn’t sure if it was something I’d be interested in. The vendor noticed I had kept coming back to his table two other instances looking at it and offered me a deal to unload it off his sales table.
One thing I did not buy are car kits. A couple tables were asking too much for them when I can get it cheaper at a hobby store or online. There were some older vintage car kits but even they were asking a bit too much. A couple of them were tempting me but I resisted.
Oh yeah… watching Bruce build his biplane made me buy what I grabbed at Syrcon.
