Lots of nice scores, Mark.

On Veterans Day, I took a ride out to the Electic Chic Antique Mall. I go there to see what’s new along with what model kits they have for sale. Came across a ‘34 Ford Dragster kit. No price sticker but I was too lazy to find out. There was a Johan Barracuda dragster kit next to it - no price sticker.

Looked around more… found a Revell 1/32 USMC RF-4B Phantom II kit. Took a peek inside. Wow that’ll be a big bird once put together. Asking price was $25. Decals were yellow. Skipped by on that one.

I did find a VW T1 Samba van kit for $10. I had debated on getting it but held off to see what else I’ll find. There was a couple of San Francisco trolley car kits I was going to pick up for $8 a piece. Again, held off to see what else I can find.

The last kit I saw was a Tamiya Russian KV-1 tank kit. Price sticker listed as $65. Wow…that’s a lot for an old 1972 boxing kit. Upon further inspection, I find out it’s a motorized Tamiya kit. Now it made more sense. A bargain for sure. Skipped out on that as well. Needless to say, I left empty handed. Regretted maybe I should have picked up the SF Trolley kit.

Mark, did you win on the Lotto or rob a bank? That’s a lot of goodies, and some very nice ones I might add.
I’m curious about your plans for an IDF M106A6… does the IDF use that variant?

In a manner of speaking I did win a lotto, of sorts. A friend of mine from Hobby Day needed his house painted. I got aid $3500 for it so I celebrated. I got the M109A6 because in looking over photographs of the Israeli version; This kit/variant is closest to the look of the Israeli one. I know I'm still gonna have to make some modifications and all, but I'm trying to minimize how much of that I want to do.

By the way, another kit I've been meaning to replace just came in:



That has already been started, pics forthcoming in the next tour.
