SPA Modeler

Why am I tempted to buy this?

I'd say you're tempted buy the box art and the design of the aircraft itself. Such a unique type!

Now there's an odd one. I dare ya...

That is an interesting plane. If they ever bring it out in 1/72 scale, I'll be getting and building it.

I got two models recently. One was a gift from a guy clearing his closet. He's more of a gamer so all that mattered to him was that I build models and it was a model he gave me. Yes, I'll build it:






This next one was a purchase at my SoCal AMPS meeting that I picked up to start at our build night meeting that was starting that night. I'm going to be making this a Syrian tank:





​Thanks for looking in.

Mark, here is a link to an article on Syrian use of Panzers

Well, that's probably 100% of the reason...

You are in luck, Mark. Contrail made a 1/72 HP 42/45, but it is a vacuform. I had one but sold it to a fellow who did a great model out of it.

Something a bit off the wall for me - I just fancied painting some newly tooled Miniatures for a change, rather than the 80's or 90's sculps I normally paint. The big backpack things are jump packs, kind of like individual rocket packs, so these are the paratroopers of the 31st Millennium.

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.
