I've just kinda finished my F-84F but also have the following going on
Tamiya Mercedes GT3



And an Academy 1/72 OV-10A Bronco I'm doing in Cal Fire markings - little bit of surgery

Tamiya cars are fairly nice, it seems. ... based on my one kit. I do like the Bronco, too.

Hey, I have to have some targets for my USAF to practice on!

With all the Soviet and Russian equipment I already have built, they got a real target rich environment! I think my Russians may just pass my Germans as the largest army in my collection after this....

Kevin, that car looks amazing. I've never built a Tamiya car so I don't know how they are but that looks amazing. I also love the Bronco, you are doing outstanding on that.

As it should be! After all, quantity is a most Russian/Soviet trait.

So true Carlos! Still, until Modelcollect and ACE came along, it was far to easy to build up my German army with all the available kits out there for German vehicles. Back then, nobody released anything Russian unless it was T-34's, KV's, and SU/ISU vehicles along with Russian trucks. Now with everything coming from Modelcollect, ACE and now Zvezda starting in; I'm able to engage in a massive Red Arms buildup with new and unique, never-before-seen vehicles!

I know what you mean. In 1/35 it’s been a similar tale. Until 1988 or so, all that was out there was a handful of Tamiya kits. Then along came Dragon and a few ESCI & Lindberg kits. Only in the past dozen years or so, between some Eastern European companies and Trumpeter has that really expanded.

On the bench? Still doing the CIWS. And some pieces I did start during the Friedrichshafen show a week ago: Modellcollect´s Austratt Coastal Artillery, Panther II from Amusing Hobby, Maus tank with full interiour from Trumpeter, ...

The same dust collectors that I had last month.
