Mark,
Very interesting finds there, is there a diorama in the offing?
Warren,
Excellent haul, jealous of a couple of them.

Nice haul Warren, couple there I'd like in my stash.
Any way the Ark has finally hit UK shores and is in stock at Hannants which means I'll be picking mine up in August

New arrivals today.
This one comes with a 54mm figure, coin and picture.
Looking at getting the RB river patrol boat which I've been after for a while but saw this on their site and as you can see couldn't resist.

Nice one Si, I've just got a couple of weeks until I can pick up my Ark, that series of camo books are really good.
Well a small packet arrived today, barrels for the Pola and some yard arms and tapered masts.

So three packages came in this week.
This one all the way from Ukraine
From Kentucky we have this:
And from china we have a possible copyright infringement suit
Gonna have to contact GMM about them. 
Wonder how many more things are going to be added to the stash before I get around to restarting work on the USS Texas

Marco, nice haul.
Can you tell me what the Konig kit is like, I've been thinking of picking one of these up but keep pulling away as I don't know what they are like.

Its um moldy and flashy
Hull has a seam, should be fixed by sanding. the propellers are flashy but also fixable. the gun barrels seem fine. Photo-etch is going to be a must. Speaking of photoetch this news just came out. Seems I was right about the pe i got, it was a copy of GMM"s set

I built the Konig on here a few years ago using the GMM set.
Oh I forgot the wooden deck..

I recived Fujimis IJN Shokaku today. I'm now waiting for the aftermarket stuff.
But I have to say this is really a big ship, especially compared to the IJN Hosho
.
Greetings Christian

Those Takara/Tomy dios -
- I did not know about them. I'd like to see them.
Has anyone looked at the Takara cruisers and battleships that are pre-assembled, in segments, showing the interior? I have a CA that I have been meaning to review here for almost 10 years!
