Tracks for Cuckoo, paint for that as well as the Archer I've been building too, plus more generic paint and figures. The ancient Panzer II is for a nostalgic group build on another forum, while the K2 Black Panther is one I've had my eye on for a number of years, so I finally gave in

It's an ancient model that in no way is anywhere close to modern standards — which is exactly why I bought it,¹ and have already entirely put together this afternoon
¹ That, and because it cost all of €9.73, it being the cheapest old Tamiya tank kit I could find at the site where I bought it.

Great set. wish they had one in 1/72
Looks like the white stripes/colors/markings are from the Zuikaku
As far as colors go, the Kaga aircraft from the same taskforce had a bit more colorful markings using red and yellow for the Zero A6M
Another scheme from the Soryu carrier is blue stripes
For the "Type 97" I was particularly fond of this scheme for the leader/"cag?" plane
It had these cool yellow stripe patterns on the tail fin with silver washed with green wing tips along with the normal red markings
number 3
similar to this bit the fin stripes are yellow
The number 1 from above has a cool red tail scheme

p.s. the reason I had all those on hand, was because relevant to the original topic of what's new in my stash...
it is this IJN 1/72 Akagi bridge
I have a Tamiya 1/72 Zero A62m that has markings for the Akagi craft, but need the other two planes types in 1/72
Would love if they a 1/72 US aircraft carrier tower as well.
Although I have been eyeing the 1/72 USS Missouri turrets

Today's arrival. I heard some good things about the CAMs kits so thought I would give it a go.
Nice. Pantherman
A 1/32 P-51 for free? Can't beat that!!!
That's awesome

Ooooh. I have one of those in my stash. Hmmmm
Never built a Vampire, I'll have to add it to my "someday" list.
I can hear you're brain spinning from the UK........... Pantherman
Got this for a bargain price £15. Pantherman
Well a strange thing happened today. I just happened to park near the hobby store and some how this little devil parked on my back seat !!!!!!!!!
I think the additional set of transparent body panels is cool. Interchangeable so most of the hard work which we cover up is on view.

Nice kit but expensive. Looking forward to seeing your build. Pantherman
Love the Tarhe parts. I'm waiting for the ICM release of the Erickson aircraft version S64 to come out at the end of the year. I worked at Erickson in Southern Oregon long ago and even experienced some heavy lift work on wind turbines in Palm Springs.Received some items for future projects.......
This will be built along with a small tractor that will be towing it.
And these are for a bucket list project!
The ICM Tarhe was on sale at Sprue Brothers last weekend and I almost took advantage of it but I'm not much of a scratch builder so common sense prevailed. I would love to see yours being built when you get to it!
Picked out a couple from the hobby shop clearance section today.
I've always liked the old History Makers kits.
Pretty sure this is a KP 1/72 Skoda D.1, no box, wrong label (had a Sander-Roe SR 53 label), decals, or instructions, but for a $1.99 heck yeah. I love the old KP kits.

Picked this up at HL 40% off.
I want to try some new two-tone paint techniques on this.

I have a few Chevys of that era... pressed into Long Range Desert Patrol. 
Love the lines, and the outsized fenders and running boards!
