I built that searchlight years ago. Good luck getting the 8000 microscopic wing nuts off the sprues.

Nice haul! I had my finger on the T29 trigger but backed out. Looks like a real gem for the price.
I have an RFM tiger in the stash and it looks fantastic, super crisp moulding and nice detail

After eyeballing it for some time, I finally pressed the button and added another refference for my bridge-building library:
Bulgarian “Field and Temporary Bridges” manual from 1944
An interesting read and well illustrated-as usual:

Yep… which is why I did not bother. I used Bronco’s two types of wing nuts instead. They are much better detail wise too.
I know you already found Angel’s build thread on this David - so you have a good resource to go to on this kit.

A few of my recent acquisitions:
I will likely do this for the Ukraine group build. Thinking about doing a scratch build caravan and doing Montgomery’s Leyland caravan. I scratch built the interior on a Matchbox one, so why not go bigger?
One of our club members is sadly unable to continue in the hobby and was selling off his collection at the last few meetings via one of the other members. I picked up these two, this time around:
The ASLAV-R recovery vehicle is one of the excellent resin conversion sets that were mastered by Jason Miller (ARMS Corp Models). Unfortunately the business has ceased as he stopped doing resin casting. His work was stunning. The business outlet that sold them, Mouse House, has also closed…
Stoked to have been able to pick this up. Uses the lower Hull from a Trumpeter LAV kit. I have their ASLAV 25 and ASLAV Phase 3 kits which this is designed for (and the second set of wheels will be for one of those), but I will use Trumpeter’s much older LAV-25 kit as the hull for the conversion as it is exactly the same. I think this will be my ‘Eight Wheeler’ campaign entry.

My Bulgarian helmets printed by @Venko have arrived.
I plan to add them to a future Praga build and troops.

Those look like something I would sculpt to represent an undersea life form on another world.

It is how to get the money to you to pay for them and the postage I have to work out!!!.
I went to the Euro Model Expo 2022 in Lingen, Germany yesterday. The first show I was able to visit in 3 years. This was my haul:
