I’ve been eyeing those Soviet combat engineers…
Looks to be a good set. More plastic then I am used to from them. 3 mine detectors, 6 rifles/sub machine guns and about 11 helmets for $13 at Sprue Brothers.

WOOT! That’s a sweet display case!
Who builds? The goal is to be the first one to fill the closet from top to bottom !

My latest acquisition. Best thing of all - it was free! My fellow club members voted my A9 Tanks (built as part of @ayovtshev Angel’s Bronco Group Build ) as the best model of the club entries for 2020! Thanks, yet again Angel, for starting that build…

The latest additions to the arms stockpile, nothing glamorous but competent ol’ reliables. They’ll be cannabalized to contribute to other projects. Tamiya’s M48 is one of my long time favorites and the M151, well who doesn’t love jeeps. . .

I just got a new treat in the mail from TopSmith, so thanks Greg! Its the Meng T90 with dozer blade. I just started assembling the tracks and I must say with Mengs jig the tracks go together like a dream! I will probably really start this build in late January.
(In the background you can see my M113 for the Unfinished business 2021 campaign…

Peter, your A9 award was well deserved. It is one of the nicest builds I’ve seen on here in the short time since I started posting, and there have been a LOT of really nice builds!
But 1/16? That sounds huge!

@phil2015 Thanks for the kind words Phil.
Yes it is a tad bigger than usual, but not as much as you might think. It is still shorter than the 1/35th scale Dana I am working on, although somewhat wider.
At least it doesn’t need anywhere near all the scratchbuilt corrections the Hobby Boss Dana did…

Peter,
Building the splendid A9 goes entirely to your credit!
I’m only happy that my prediction- its Model of the Month Award by your Modelling Club won’t be its last- came true 
Happy New Year, mate, and I’m also wishing you a lot of quality modelling time with your Model of the Year Award!

Got the UH1 HUEY seats today! Ordered them 23 Nov with an ETA of 2 Jan so they’ve got that down dead on. I had planned on putting them on the ACAV deck but the only pictures I can find to substantiate that is of ARVN vehicles, so guess they’re going in the Huey that’s in the lineup. That’s cool, I’m ready to build something other than tracks for a minute . .

Got this this morning. Looks really great after a quick look inside. I intend to do a build thread and a quick contents review in a separate thread for this bad boy

Sweet! I built the SU-85 from mini-art. It’s a nice kit. Careful with the wheels. All I need to do is put the white wash on it for the Operation Snow White campaign then a little weathering and it will be done.
I have finished the assembly on the Takom Chieftain as well. It is a very nice kit. I have it primed and painted and need to mud up the underside before I assemble it and finish it.
