Better shot of aftermarket decals from Corsair kit...



I'm pretty sure I won't use them.

If anyone is interested in them, let me know.

Nothing exciting lately but got some Stedi soft sanding sticks from Amazon.

[Stuart]

Those look like nice Sticks Mike!

[Brandons_Iron]

Do let us know how you like those sanding sticks.

I should have posted this a couple of days ago, but this is my loot from Modelzona

First up, I found this M7 for an excellent price, less that half of what any stores I’ve seen selling it have been asking



Then I found this Isuzu IJAAF fuel truck for an excellent price as well. The only downside is that a previous owner took the fire extinguisher cart, but I really don’t care about that being gone, I just wanted the truck. The figures, chocks, and drums are also still there



And then I got these Value Gear stowage sets, and some clamps from Rhino Tools. It’s always great to see the local businesses show up in the vendor area.



All in all a good day at Modelzona.

Some nice scores there Carlos - that M7 is quite a good kit from what I've heard.

Liking the Japanese fuel truck. I keep thinking about getting some 1/48 airfield vehicles, should be good for some dio's. (of course, I need to build more 1/48th aircraft first! )

[Stikpusher]

I’m with you on needing to build more 1/48 aircraft. I think I’m at about a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio of aircraft to armor builds right now…

The M7 looks pretty nice, and it’s the early production variant, so I think I’ll be making a Brit El Alamein Priest with this kit. A nice multi color camo scheme.

[Brandons_Iron]

Oh ya. That fuel truck and figures are screaming dio. I'll have to look for those.

[BlackSheep214]

Heh... the M7 Priest was on my "to look for" list at Syrcon. Nope...didn't see one.

I've not built a 1/48 kit for a few years actually - about time I did. I picked up a couple of Tamiya kits recently (a Spitfire mk.I and P-51B) along with a Airfix Seafire - I should post up some photos.

The British North African M7 would be cool to see.
