This will give me a look at the M3 with .50 cal ( as well as a couple of more nifty models to sit on my desk' top.) Academy really cleaned up the molds for these if they are redos from years gone by. Instructions are multi- language and the South Koreans are exhibiting clean and neat in regards to models and their packaging in a way that the Japanese used to. Pics:
There is nothing better than building same modell multiscale :D

Sass delivered in a huge way after we discussed the ideas for pulling the Maxxon mount in a trailer behind the halftrack. Also, a full metal beauty from the early days of RC modeling came along in the shipment and will be a separate build of it's own! Two halftracks! What is the world coming to? *chuckles*

Sent along with some beautiful details for my Panther and Tiger 1 was this awesome field piece.  It will look great in an emplacement in the tank village.

A sample of the outpouring of model largesse from Sassgrunt.  The 1 15 Aihara metal halftrack will be a complete build on its own.

Gee Painless looks like you'll be a very busy fellow for a while So nice when the connections we make on the forum become so rewarding as exemplified in this wonderful haul

Sorry that I'm confused but I see a couple of half tracks and you mention a sturmtiger and a metal kit. Please elaborate as I'm very interested..... I apologize in advance if I missed something. This is a super collection

Carl!
Apologies, It is Thursday and my mental processes are completely fogged up by work by now. The metal kit is the Aihara halftrack in 1/15 scale. Sass sent the Tamiya Sturm Tiger along as a research kit for the 1/16 version I have on the list of 'Builds To Do'. HeHe! Finishing the Tiger is ongoing then back to the 1/6 Stuart. This coming Winter should see the Tamiya Tiger or the Torro halftrack as the focus armor build.

Painless
