My vote for the Gotha, Radek! I have been tempted by this kit and the ICM kits of the same aircraft so many times, but have so far resisted buying them since my stash is growing uncontrollably. :sweat_smile:

It could be cool to see the kit build up in your usual very high standard!

I’ll be sitting this one out. I’m moving to Texas in a few weeks’ time, so my main focus will be on moving my entire stash of models, materials, supplies, built kits and display cases; along with the rest of my stuff over 900 miles from Arizona. WIsh me luck, boys. I might lose a few along the way, but i still have plenty of glue. :grin:

I wonder how many Matilda Mk I kits will be entered here? Mine’s on pre-order, and should be here in Feb…

I think I know what I’ll be doing for this one:

Been waiting for this one since the 1/72 version came out a few years ago.

Great choices, Freddy and Michael.

@michaelsatin Especially courious to see the new Hybrid line by Eduard and see if the extra details are worth it on so beautifully enginered kits.

I will make a minor change and add M153 CROWS II. Not sure yet if I´ll add the side TUSK or not. Two pictures for inspiration.
