Looks like Santa was good to you! Never have seen that one before (Border?) Looks cool though.
When you get a chance maybe some shots of what’s in the kit?
Merry Christmas to you and yours and a Happy New Year

Cheers,
C.

We used to open at least one the night before and sometimes all depending if my dad had to work on Christmas or not. Nice score, I have been eyeballing that kit.

This will be probably be the closest I get, my dad gave me some cash so Amazon brought me these items.

They will be used for the 1/72 diorama campaign.

Thank you so much. Me and my family wish you and your beloved ones also a very merry Christmas and a great new year.
The kit indeed is from Border models.
The package is almost just as interesting as the contents :


The instructions :

The sprues

The single link, workable tracks:

And last but not least decals, a metal barrel, PE fret, clear sprue, springs for the suspension and braided metal cable:

Useful stuff… I use the rubber brushes for applying pigments.

Thanks for the photos, I really want to get that kit. I use discarded or cheap generic paint brushes for pigments. I got these for foam and epoxy work (I think it was Piet posted using them for sand bags).

They are obviously useful for multiple purposes.

I agree and hope to use them soon.

Hoping for at least one of:

Tamiya Nashorn
Tamiya Elefant
Trumpeter KV-1
Trumpeter KV-2

Will post pics of any once we open. Merry Christmas everyone

Hoping for either the Revell 1/72 Platinum edition U-Boat, or the Revell 1/72 Platinum edition Flower Class corvette… although some additional weathering supplies would be nice. Will post some pics when we open as well.
Merry Christmas ! :santa: :grin:

Nifty, that it’s packaged in a wooden box that slides open on top.

Woot woot! Got the tamiya nashorn and Elefant to add to my stash

Also got some paint, a modeling kit with pin vise, tweezers, sand paper and sanding blocks, etc, and some nifty magnifying glasses for figure painting

Merry Christmas everyone

Most certainly. That is one box I won’t toss away…

Nice gains! Happy modelling with those and merry Xmas to you too!!!

At first I thought it was a set of D&D dice. Then happily realized that it’s actually a complete earth tone pigment set!

Lol, maybe just weather the teeth a little.

The wife got me some tools. First modeling related item, we think ever.

I couldn’t resist and brought myself the Border T-34 as a birthday gift, as things are going these days probably won’t make it in time in a few weeks.

Added this one from the in-laws this morning. I don’t know much about this variant of the KV-1, but I’ve heard good things about the Trumpeter KV tanks

Some good gifts.

My better half got me CSM’s 1/35 Lanchester Armoured Car.
My parents got me some ICM figures. The 1917 British Infantry in gas masks and the German MG08 team.
Fantastic kits and very happy to get them.
