SMA What's New In Your Stash?!?

[Pantherman]

The pilots must have disabled the sirens, otherwise you'd have heard it.

That would be the scream from the other half when she finds out what it cost...... Pantherman

 

[BarleyBop]

Geez, haven't even finished my dive bomber, and you've another one standing by!

 

[KINGSLUG]

All I have is this..well an A10 half built in the closet as well..but these take so long to build that i just buy 1 at time..so far.
The bugatti will be a faster build than the meph though..
Now that I'm retired I can spend a lot more time on them..

 

[KINGSLUG]

Wow..spot model has maybe one of the last mephistopheles available..for 133.00..
And....300.00 shipping.....wow...so much for that. Also an f1 car for 100.00...these are 45% off...but..with 300.00 shipping.
Im..not looking anymore...

 

[Edbert]

300.00 shipping

Sounds like it is either a typo or maybe they mean Italian Lire. Cannot really be $300USD.

 

[Jakko]

Yes, it can be US$300: I have a feeling that if you try selecting another destination country than the USA, any other, you'll see something odd happen to the shipping cost.

 

[KINGSLUG]

The tariffs are killing it...
I bought the printed 3d safety wire body bolts for the bugatti from them..12 bucks..with 24 bucks in shipping..
But I had no choice ax they are the only ones in the world that have them

 

[Rockin' Rob]

It sure sounds like someone in America needs to get get some money together and start a business making all this stuff that you guys say cost a bundle just to ship here because of tariffs. Tariffs are going to eliminate my income taxes. Wow life is going to be great

Someone did..RB motion..but he's resting now..needed a break
Check out his site

See what I mean? Good for him. Too bad it wore his ass out and he had to take a break. One man operation oh dude I would invest in that company

Almost 2 trillion stolen dollars coming back to the US is good for all of us, bad for foreign governments that have been leeching all these decades.

But I do not expect to see our tax burden lessened in any way, too many foreign wars need funding.

Good God I wish I was young again

 

[KINGSLUG]

Give him a call...he pretty much sells everything he makes..but 1 guy machining micro parts all day..oy..sound exhausting. I bought his spark plugs .so much better than what they give you.
Now I have to make some but not to that quality..

 

[KINGSLUG]

Guess its why Argentina has a no import rule for most things..they keep it all in house.

Amen,.......read "War is a Racket " by Smedley Butler if you haven't already....


Oh yeah, this is new to my stash ....

 

[Edbert]

Argentina has a no import rule

As a Texan who owns land with cattle on it, I find it astonishing that we import Argentinian beef from (nearly) halfway across the world.

Smedley Butler knew war was a racket, he was there. I think Scott Horton's books should be a must read, particularly liked "Provoked".

This rolled up to my door today

That looks cool but my first thought was for that poor guy that has to sit up there in the open and load that contraption.

 

[Alfonso Ocasio]

Just picked up these two as a set for under $14 each with free shipping, so I couldn't resist. I'm not sure if I will keep the kit markings, or go with special paint schemes with them. Mostly got them for the year cars they are.

Do what makes you happy, that's what this hobby is all about.

Feel real bad for him, I'm thinking about doing a winter base for it.
Don't know when I'll work on it though, I got 2 other projects that have to be done first before I start any other models.

Today's arrival.

Today's arrival.

Nice!! Both in my stash as well... along with some other armoured cars. Perhaps we'll have an armoured car GB one day!

 

[Jakko]

I went to Euro Scale Modelling 2025 yesterday, and came home with more than I left there with:

The bunker is a Dutch pre-war one, in plaster with 3D-printed parts, the tracks are T66 Sherman tracks from Asuka (for €2, I couldn't leave them there ) and the figures in the plastic bags are a running civilian woman and a Dutch 1930s/1940 soldier rolling a cigarette, both from J.W. de Boer.

Nice haul. I have two of the PACV's in my stash. It may be next on the bench.

 

[Edbert]

These two have been on my wishlist for a while. The Devastator is unusually high priced at major online stores for a 1/48 single engine plane and will be my 1st from GWH. I found it about half off MSRP with free shipping on ebay, had to add the T-90 to get the free shipping but price was pretty low and it is out of production now so quite pleased. They both arrived over a month early from Chy-Nah too.

Took me a second...lol.

I've kind of wanted a model of one ever since seeing them in photos in books about the Vietnam War, 35 years ago or so. Once or twice I got close to ordering the resin kit from whatever that company is called, but never actually did, so I was pleasantly surprised when Gecko announced this one.

 

[KowboyKaleb]

Found another win at the flea market today, has the full interior as well. Looks like a pretty decent kit.

Priced seemed a little lower than what I could get it for online so I went ahead and snagged it even if tigers aren't really my particular niche
