Nice haul Mike. The A-10 is a marvel of modern molding.
Thanks,
John

Very nice haul Mike!

Those sanding sticks look good - I wonder how they compare to the Infini ones I've been playing with. That A-10 will be an awesome build!

Thanks guys!

I haven't used the Infini sanding sticks so I'm not sure.

Did somebody say a Flying Tigers A-10?

Nice scores Mike! I love that A-10 and the Flight Deck Crew Figures set! Those ICM US Cold War figures are not too bad ...

Well, I've finally picked up enough things over the past few weeks to rate a new post...

this past Saturday after AMPS meeting was a trip to Andy's, and I picked up this kit...
Image

plus these supplies... I'm going to experiment w/Vallejo Airbrush Thinner with Model Master Acrylics, since the MM Acrylic Thinner worked with Vallejo Model Air...

Image

Then off of eBay I got "special offer" deals on these things

Image

Image

the Howitzer was for a giveaway price, but taking a look at it upon arrival and I ask myself, what did I get myself into? It's gonna be an intricate challenge...

Nice scores, Carlos. :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout:

I prefer Gunze Aqeuous paints over Mr. Color. For some reason Scalehobbyist sends me Mr.Color instead of Gunze Aqueous.

I’m not too crazy on Mr.Color for they tend to be on the thick side upon opening. Sometimes they go too thick after first use.

Bum lost it, but the price went waaaaay over my budget considering it was also £25 shipping from France... oh well, it's not like I have nothing to build :-D

Thanks Tom. Andy’s is discontinuing carrying the Aqueous line so they are on clearance. Major bummer, because like you, I am not a fan of the Mr Hobby line for the reasons you stated. Most of the ones that I brought here from California have dried up… AK Real Color is going to be my replacement choice.
