Hi all,
I'm not 100% certain what I'll be build as I don't have any Tamiya kits in the stash (soon to be rectified). However I suspect it might be this one...
I've heard such good things about these new modern Tamiya kits that I'd love to give one a go.
I've not ordered it yet but, I've been given a wedge of cash from my Mother in Law to get myself something for Christmas and this may well be it. I might also do a bit of 1/48 armour as well.
Cheers!

Re: Stuart's build thread...
Tamiya 1/48 armor is great stuff! And it’s nice to have stuff in the same scale as aircraft kits. It’s just a shame that they have barely scratched the surface of modern AFVs and Softskins. That is a HUGE untapped market.

Re: Stuart's build thread...
That is why I'm thrilled to be building in 1/72 scale for aircraft and armor. Still, I'm sure eventually things will pick up for 1/48 scale guys.
Stuart, I highly recommend Tamiya 1/48 scale armor as well. Yes, I did build one once: it was the Tamiya Komatsu Bulldozer that I built for someone as a commission for his Guadalcanal wargame . If you don't choose armor, then that Lightning would be a fantastic choice for this Group Build.

I’m thinking rhe 1/32 B-36...
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

I've heard good things but never pulled the trigger on one.
Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.

Re: Stuart's 1/48 P-38 Lightning!
Well as this GB officially starts tomorrow I thought I'd better post up some pictures of my kit - the new tool P-38 Lightning.
There is a lot of nice plastic in the box - it's pretty full. I'm going to be really interested to see how it goes together.
Cheers!
