Was the Tank Santa good to you?
Was the Tank Santa good to you?
Hi folks,
I thought it would be interesting to share what in the way of tank goodies Santa may have left under your tree, I think (I know) I did very well.
I received a Tamiya F/O Tiger I a HL Pz III Taunch and a Taigen Pz III kit with GBs no electronics.
I scored for myself the Tamiya Jagdpanther (built and painted) and a Tamiya Jagdpanther static kit. I also scored reference books in multiples for all of the above tanks and the M4A2 Sherman.
We refinanced the house and I splurged a little.
I now have enough tanks to keep me busy for the next 10 years or so.

Wow Barry, I didn't even get a pair of socks
Oh, and to keep you going for the next ten years, I think not, more like 25 years going on your M1A1HA

Nah, The Tank Santa was confined to quarters in the North Pole, thanks to Covid regulations, apparently However, A secret elf (or was it delirium Tremens ) managed to airdrop a WPL 4WD truck.
Did you score anything worth smokin', before the mega-splurge, I wonder?
Could easily explain the breakdown in splurge control Or was it Bourbon bravery, Barry?

As much as I would have liked it to have it been something I "smoked" I can only blame it on Bourbon. I can't even claim bravery as Mrs C was in on it. I did have to "all most" promise not to buy any more until I had finished several of what I've on hand! I do think however that it is likely the last tank purchase unless something comes out that I really want!!

I got jack for Christmas. I thought we were talking about fine cigars for a second and that maybe I had met another aficionado, but now I get it! Sometimes I'm just slow. Did I mention that I got jack for Christmas?!
