Got the same kit in my stash as well.

Um... Well it would have been rude not too.

That Tamiya Chaffee that Stuart has is a new tool new release. A bit different than the old, but still very nice, Italeri kit.

As Carlos said Gary, that's the old but very nice Italeri kit reboxed by Tamiya. Mine is the new tool kit released earlier this year. Doesn't matter though as that's a cracking build - very nicely doneGary Brantley wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2026 10:19 amThat was my first armor build, Stuart!My wife's boss gave it to me after his son lost interest in models.
Strangely I'm not a fan of Italeri Aircraft kits, but I do really like their 1/35 stuff. The Crusader I'm building at the moment is a great little kit.Stuart Templeton 'I may not be good but I'm slow...'

Thanks for that reminder,Carlos! 
Re: Latest Acquisitions - pt.3
That's the one! I've never actually built a NNNEEEEEWWWWWW tool Tamiya kit when it was first released, so thought it might be fun.Stikpusher wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2026 1:54 pm That Tamiya Chaffee that Stuart has is a new tool new release.

Re: Latest Acquisitions - pt.3
Yeah, mine was the Italeri boxing. I didn't know about the Tamiya rebox though. Thanks for your generous compliments on that quicky lightbox pic from several years back, Stuart!Stuart wrote: ↑Thu Jul 23, 2026 2:10 pmAs Carlos said Gary, that's the old but very nice Italeri kit reboxed by Tamiya.
