Did you get the truck? Can't find any here of that boxing, but one, at $249.00 USD, at least on ebay
Noooo, it went for stupid money in the end, far more than I was prepared to pay. Cab over Aerodynes seen to be quite rare.
That, they are! I found one. There is a cab over by AMT in 1/32 from Korea for $59,00 US. Not the Aerodyne, though.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Picked up a few things lately. Found some photoetch for the Hasegawa YF-19 that I have. Got for $15 with free shipping. Also went to the LHS and an art store and picked up some metal tubing, acrylic inks (for weathering) and a AFV weapons set that I hadn't seen before.

:hmm: AFV Club does a set of 1/48 US aircraft ordnance? Nice! Can you post a frontal box view of that please Mike? Nobody has made those high drag M117s in 1/48 before... looks like that they also have the Mk.82 "ballutes" too! long overlooked pieces of ordnance.

Actually that is the front of the box. It was funny cause I opened the box and there weren't any instructions. I'm like "Great. No instructions." I turned the box over and lo and behold, there they are. :giggles:
