Thanks Mike, PM sent!
By the way, I’m looking at moving my 3D print stuff to https://3dptrain.com/ - they are happy to take over where SW left off, and even added a “1:35 scale” category for me! I need to sort things out before starting to add products, but at least there’s a light at the end of the tunnel…

Oops - link fixed!
Think they are the ones, that are doing the air portable land rover.
Hope your Centurions aren’t like my AFV Shot Kal. Fenders were horribly misshapen and didn’t come close to fitting properly.
Anxious for your appraisal of the Trumpy Bulat. Built the Xact Model kit not too long ago. Although dated it finished up nicely. Eying the RFM kit of the same.
Good luck.
This will be my second NATO Cent, and from what I recall of my first I had some issues with the light guards and the turret basket assembly. Thin pieces that fell apart when being removed from the sprue. However I came across this image of a Canadian one with a really neat camo and want it for the collection.
Today from shop in Belgium. 20€ plus 15€ shipping.
It has to be leagues ahead of the Italeri toy.
All the Avenger kits out there despict a kit from mid 1990´s. Today, the turret has a different rear layout.
The MEP004A generator for my M817 project arrived yesterday. Good detail and fast delivery from Shapeways.
It seems you are lucky. On July 2nd, Shapeways has filed for bankruptcy.

In NL they are declared bankrupt already .

Deals on Dragon kits at Black Widow OKC!
The price of the kits with aftermarket was about the same as Cyber-Hobby mail order Dragon kits without aftermarket or slightly lower. Black Widow shipping was fast & reasonable.

The postman does not come to our village, we have to go to the post office ourselves, and even to the neighboring village.
As a person who visited the exhibition of captured weapons on Poklonnaya Hill (Moscow),
I couldn’t pass up the new kit from Rye Field Model. But I didn’t pass!
The set is almost completely identical to the 5065 set, even the instructions are included from it (you can look at Scalemates),
just another double-sided sheet has been added to it,
which shows the process of assembling tower screens from an additional photo-etched board,
as well as the installation of skating rinks,
which, as everyone knows, on the original were replaced with rollers from the T-80 tank. As a Russian major general said: “His caterpillar tracks did not rotate. There was a problem with the transmission. We had to use creative methods, blow up the tracks, evacuate the vehicle on the road wheels, and then evacuate the tracks.”
It should be noted that the company provides rollers on both sides, although on the prototype they are completely replaced on one side and partially on the other.
At the same time, it’s nice that the original condition of the hubs was taken into account: some with a cover, some without.
Plus, this set includes a decal
from another “Limited Edition”.
Old book, new kit. Was finally able to track this one down, had previously built one but over time and moves the kit was damaged beyond repair.
It’s not a bad kit. Glad to see you’ve got good reference material, I had to rely on internet searches. Here’s mine. I also did a build blog for it, feel free to check it out here: TRACK-LINK / Forums / Track-Link Build Logs / Panda Cougar 6x6 JERRV
Andy’s HHQ 4th of July was just too sweet to skip. After chatting with a couple of top notch modelers picked two US Cold War tanks by Takom.
Very goof first look impression of both kits.
May seek aftermarket replacements on the M48a5 tracks to save build time. Really liking the M48a5 kit first impression. Very tempted to start building it.
