99¢ Aircrafts for BGK

I was at 99¢ store with my son, when I spotted these planes for 99¢. I thought for the price I could use the for airstrikes in BGK, and at 99¢ what did I have to loose. Even though they are the wrong air forces, I can either remark them or just keep them the same remembering that on plane is axis and the other is allied. I think Ill go back and by some more at 99¢!

Previous part of this process post from a year ago HERE

1/72 Armourfast Panther G revisited

Although my focus is currently 15mm, however I could not resist working on this 1/72nd  Panther G form Armourfast.

 Tacks painted for pre base airbrushing. 

Since the model was primed on the sprue, I had to spend time prepping model for gluing.

Hasegawa 1/72nd WWII German Sd.Kfz 7/2 37m/mAA.

Comments: I had a hard time choosing between this and 20mm/AA version. I used the computer at hobby shop to try to investigate whether this version was used summer of 1943 but could not get any useful info. I ended choosing this version over the 20mmAA because of the higher caliber, however I found later that this 37m/mAA did not appear till late 43'. So if I get a chance I'll pick up the 20mmAA version. However this might be the next model on the work bench, so I can work out any kinks in building so other Sd.Kfz's come out better.

Hasegawa 1/72nd WWII German 88mm Gun Flak 18

Comments: This is another of the 1/72nd Hesegawa models that I picked up of a collection of another modeller, being sold at the local hobby shop. This is the exact box art work that I found on the internet (as opposed to scanning my box art). All the other box art I found were very close to the boxes I purchased except this one which is exact. I believe that this and the other models are from late 70's or early 80's. I'm planning to use this a an 88 being used at Kursk. After some investigating, I believe that this early version of the 88 my not of been at kursk, but I'm not positive and anyway I'm not that anal, so I'm going plan on 88 at kursk being fired while still on wheels.

Hasgawa 1/72nd German Mercedes Benz G4

Comments: I was in hobby shop and found in a different pile of models from some one's old re-sold collection  of a bunch of 1/72nd Hasegawa models. I had seen this model before and was thinking of it being used with Pegasus' "German's in Berlin 1945" since it has figure of Hitler with 2 young Hitler youth. I passed on that model a couple of years ago, so when I saw it again, I snapped it up. I'm glad I waited because this model was packaged in late 70's or early 80's ( from my research) and it contains swastika flags for the staff car, which seems to have been dropped in newer packaging of model.

70's Commercial , No.1, #2, #3,  TOY Ads,  60's Ads #1, #2, #3, #4, Ads, Weird Ads, Wacko Jacko Ad,

I had this set as a kid. The best part about it was waiting for it. When it came it was a disappointed when it showed. They where made of super hard plastic, about 1/24th scale, and flat almost 2 dimensional. If you stepped on one of these figures, it would cut you bad. I would love to have them now. This Youtube Clip clip of the era says it all

I ordered this set as a kid. I was very happy with it when it arrived.  It was around 1/72nd blue and red figures. Who said there was no dreams filled by these offers.

Never ordered this one, but I bet it was a good one.

Really blew it never sending in for this set.

This is before my time, But I would of been all over it. If my parents only new, or maybe they did?

Always wanted this one

I remember this lurking around the house, I'm sure my parents thought my brother could grow up to be a chemist

Another model my brother had. I forgot about it until he mentioned it the other day
