Think again bro, all will fit very nicely: cremation. Visit here: http://www.rosehills.com/prodnsrvContent/Cremations.aspx

I enjoy sharing the learning curve discovered in assembling these fun kits.

Question for 007, did you get that 200 grand Aston Martin started yet?

I think I will need to win the lottery to start that one

OK, and you'll find a zillion Saxon Ent. listed in the USA!

Besides the fun of rc tank models found on this forum, the chatter is equally interesting. On the most basic level your name (saxondog) seems quite appropriate for a rc tank warfare site, it is fun. Even for a site where everyone plays nice, while still planning for rc battle and I am familiar with the phrase Saxon Dog, mostly from useless, but easy college history classes.

It is also a very old derogatory military oriented warfare term for Anglosaxon people. Those people were most often described by their military adversaries as filthy; badly clothed and often not nicely characterized by their heavy build and dirty; long brown; wavy hair.

As in, "Those blokes; just showed up and burnt everything to hell and took all the women except Helga and Big Betsy. Saxon dogs!" Fortunately for mankind, the Saxon people have evolved into very nice folk for the 21st Century, so I mean no harm by exploring the roots of saxondog.

All in all I still would favor the derogatory "Spanish Fly" for myself as a military history derived nickname. It is a phrase believed to have been developed during the time of the Spanish Armada by drunken sailors serving under Admiral Lord Nelson.  

OO7, The USA - California Mega Lotto is a quarter of a billion dollars for Tuesday. Go online and see if you can buy a ticket. Best of luck!

I think you mean Drake and Frobisher Nelson was born well over 150 years after the Armada...

Don't know, I mostly slept through or avoided British History altogether and I reply on people like you to correct the BS!

Thank you and I appear to have left out this phrase: and later used by drunken sailors serving under Admiral Lord Nelson. John

Well Blake seems to me your a touch sensitive and you should watch this great movie: Errol Flynn's 1938 classic, The Adventures of Robin Hood best supports my observations and statements. LOL. Take care and I am on your side Saxonpig, LOL. John

Put the photos back in. John

nice work john
I have moved this to the correct section

Thank you BREL, initially, I did not notice this Tamiya category. The Jagd finally has a tank commander and new markings. It is a modified Verlinden 120mm Obersturmführer resin kit. Had to saw off the poor guys legs at the waist so he would fit and let the main gun elevation unit work correctly.
