Nice catches everyone! All from 1:1 scale to 1:72 and beyond!

And congrats to Gary and his new family member!

Stuart: That's a nice catch!

Carlos: T-54 is a beast

Bruce: No idea regarding the spelling..

BUT, finally, I have acquired a new kit!

Airfix rather new kit, the Cromwell Mk IV



Some background, why on earth a Cromwell ??? will be told in its own thread later

Nice score on the Cromwell Kari! I am curious to see how this kit builds up, as the only other kit of this subject in 1/35 is the Tamiya kit. Which does build up quite nice once you replace the tracks.

That Ju 188 is hard to get these days and pretty expensive on auction sites.

For my diorama with the Cromwell, the Staghound. Unfortunately the kit decals do not include "Desert rats", but luckily I found correct aftermarket decals, ordered!

Took a brief look at the sprues, if I don't recall wrong, this is my first Bronco kit and now I understand peoples opinion of Bronco kits..
Nevertheless, will be an interesting project.

Cool choice Kari! I'll be looking forward to seeing that come together

I was glad to find it for a price I was comfortable with. With all the newer Ju 88's out there I'm surprised no one has issued A new 188
