Flat head lobster is another name they go by apparently.
Mine were split along the length, dusted with lemon juice, & served cold on the platter with the other yummies.
Plenty of my special blend sea food sauce available.................. :D

No really, if l let the cat out of the bag now it would just be a picture of the packaging and that would be a real spoiler. This will be a long, large and l'complex construction so nothing should be rushed. It may take all of 2020 to complete so a January start makes sense. A clue though? Its Russian. My excitement levels are exceeding those l experienced when l first saw a pair of large, naked, wobbly breasts. And the tank isn't even wobbling. I'm going to lie down now.ImageImage

Man, that's one helluva smoker he's got in there. Bwahahahaha

And isn't that StuG short a roadwheel?

I thought I read those are about 125K euros?

That pose the commander is striking in the initial minute looks strangely familiar. Did he have a small top chin growth?

You know, there's no way I'd allow those muddy booted thugs to stomp all over my restored pride and joy.

Speaking of which, l opened the box this morning but restrained myself from videoing the fascinating process, so popular these days :shifty:

That's not a restored anything, that's a brand new vehicle. That's why I mentioned the missing road wheel. The real thing had six road wheels on each side but this tank only has five road wheels on each side. I've also heard that the tank is remote control, so you can operate it from the commanders cupola, and if you look closely it looks like that's exactly what the guy is doing. I believe he's driving from the commander station.

Don/t you just love those sticky and wild styrofoam flakes ruining the grand opening of a new RTR.. In the spirit of a white Christmas, I give this one 1st prize.

Merry Christmas and Happy new year !

Sticking into every corners of the model, then fingers, then all over the place

It's Haya's new Chieftain RTR. Looks good though.

Sorry to get off topic, but since you mentioned styrofoam, I've heard that the entire world is going to ban styrofoam within the near future. I know of at least a couple companies that are redesigning all their packaging for tanks so that they no longer use styrofoam for just that reason. Does anybody else remember the Flintstone styrofoam blocks from when you were a kid?
