@Jakko

Don’t know if you’ve seen this footage of Cuckoo seen taking part in a bombardment of Geijsteren Castle.

A captured German Panther tank in action with the 6th Guards Tank Brigade in November 1944

[Jakko]

Thanks for that — I hadn’t looked for videos yet, but this looks useful. Looking some more, I also found this one, which has pretty much all-around footage including of the winter camouflage:

Rare WW2 Cuckoo the British Panther Tank Ausf.G. - Footage.

Here’s some photos I saved previously for my own Cuckoo project.

Took advantage of Andy’s HHQ Christmas sale to build up my Soviet collection, and add a vehicle I think is a must in any German armor collection. Also added something for my Cromwell build!

I guess it’s time to show off some of the stuff from Christmas. Its a mix from my LHS and BNA.

Arrived today

Scratch and gouge mark stencil arrived today. Have to find a YouTube how-to for airbrushing distances.

@Denimo

Have to find a YouTube how-to for airbrushing distances.

Or you could experiment yourself.

[SableLiger]

Fresh from BNA Model World in OZ.

[Denimo]

I could, but I like the idea of seeing how others tackle these tasks and how they view their results.

First 2 for this year.

You’ll like the Scud Launcher. I’m building it right now. it’s complex, but not complicated.

A late Xmas present. My youngest son gave me money, so I got this off ebay. Arrived this morning. I know its an old Italeri kit. But I love those British tanks used in North Africa.

It will go good with my Tamiya Grant.

[Littorio]

Well the T-54/55 bug has really bitten, may need to add a T-62 to spice things up a bit

This one a bit different though.

[Denimo]

A small package but useful, picked this up from my LHS. It’s a step towards my next project, an M125 towing an M127 on an M365 dolly.

Both units to be finished in MERDC. Loads for both are enroute from Ukraine.

Today after AMPS was time for the monthly visit to Andy’s. I picked up several paints for a few projects that I currently have going, and then I found this damaged box JGSDF LAV on the clearance table… all in all good stuff!

[Tojo72]

Yeah keep rubbing it in about Andys

Nice acquisition

[Stikpusher]

Thanks Tony. To be honest, I still prefer several of the old shops from when I used to live in CA for their wider selections…. But I’m not there anymore, and a couple of those shops are long gone as well. Andy’s just happens to have name recognition. I’d be curious to see how Squadron, Sprue Brothers, or perhaps Scale Hobbyist would be like as walk in stores, if they have have them.

[Littorio]

These arrived yesterday after placing the order back in March 24 then getting the invoice in December 24!

I think Squadron has a store front, SB has pick up but I don’t think a store front. I don’t think ScaleHobbist has one.
