Thanks, Carlos! :bow: It really did exceed my expectations when I first saw it in person. The pics on Gunbroker weren't that great but the risk paid off. I'm sure happy to own it now! :grin:

Thanks, John! :bow: That's a great memory, and yes, there is something about the old lever guns that triggers some sort of collective memory embedded in many us. They are certainly an iconic weapon and one that did play a huge role in America's development. And they are fun to shoot! :grin: :

I actually pulled quite a few from my other Kinetic kits - mainly the Viper kits and started assembling them.

I've already labeled each weapons/pods temporarily until I buy a second one. Then I will label them permanently in each slot.
Tom, that's a great idea! :bow: I'm gonna steal that one! :lol:

In case no one knew, Michael's now has a LOT of Gundam kits and good ones at that. Mostly High Grade but they had a few really nice Master Grade and Real Grade kits. Of course one of them had to come home with me.

Last I looked they hardly had any kits left - let alone very few Gundam kits in my Micheal’s store.

Looking great! I especially like the compartment storage boxes; I just picked up a ton of them recently myself.

My Syrcon 37 haul... no Sherman tank - couple Russian Lend/Lease types, RAF Mustang or P-40 Warhawk/Tomahawk (in 1/48 scale) :bored:

The Stug is my raffle winner. The 88 for $20


Been looking for this one. Got it for $25

Image

It came with extra aftermarket decals set. I probably won't use them.

Image

A replacement P-51D Mustang for my dual build. I'll need to get another P-51D Mustang to use the kit's decals. Kit was $15

Image

And finally... which was my first purchase for $5 at Syrcon. I built this vintage kit as a kid.
