Sweet, sweet haul there! That model of Pz IV will be the one that I build when I finally get to that point. Following along as usual. ;o)

Yes Painless...It was quite the Delivery :crazy: ....believe it or not...I still haven't checked everything off the invoice yet :{

The P IV...is going to be another Project....it won't be a P IV when it's finished though...If you take a browse through the research tanks...I think you might see the one I'm going to make with it ;) ...Here's a Hint...I'm going to need a lot of rivets :O

I gotta ask, why are you buying so many kits? There's no way you can build them all considering the quantity and frequency of all of these purchases. Are you going to become a vendor and start selling them?

The 1/35th kits is....those are pretty much just something to do while waiting for parts and stuff...Also they are confined to the GUP franchise or Genre.....Bought the 1/16 tanks due to the 1/35s....because I found how viable many are for transfer using standard available kits ...without loosing an arm and a leg ;)

Not to worry Jack...I do have plans for all that I have bought...and if I croak before I finish...well...maybe that's when a vendor will be needed...thing is ...at that point I won't care :haha: :haha:

Just an added note Jack....I've been reading several of your posts....and have seen the situation with your Tiger build
Since many times doing research on the web ...or even asking questions about it....information can be sketchy at best.....buying one of these would answer all ...not to mention show exact placements of things...give you a rough History...Decals...and paint schemes

That's just One of the reasons for the new collection of 1/35s ;)

If you want to see the "placement of things", Dragon provide free images of their kits : http://www.dragon-models.com/d-m-item.asp?pid=DRA6608

But I don't think they include a history in their kits. The marketing text on their website is more likely to tell you something about the vehicle's history.

There's a nice site for Jack ...thanks David :thumbup: ....I think searching the net can be beneficial...but I've also found having the 3d model in hand adds to that ...Maybe not in Jacks case as he is building a straight Tunisian Tiger....but for People who scratch build or are forced to for lack of other resource ;)

UPDATE: Finally had a chance to inventory the stuff that arrived...Yes...Everything for my Firefly is here :D ....A pleasant surprise came when opening this P IV ...advertised that it was the normal 27mhz....it was instead supplied with the new 3rd gen 2.4 rig :thumbup: ...also the liOn battery....What's even cooler is now I have two chargers (not that I want to use them)...that plug into a normal US socket :D

So good news all around...as I think this is the new Wave of Heng Long tanks :thumbup:

Took close to a month to arrive...even though I had paid extra for priority...wasn't the seller's fault..it was the USPS to blame as I think they
routed it to the wrong local :thumbdown:

A not bad deal considering I only wanted one from the bunch lol...Need the Elefant for a Donor tank ;)

Also a Figure...but that's a gift so no photos again :haha:
