Alpha,
I was just examining the one off barrel of B-12 as I prepare to do a little more repair work on it and all I can do is to mirror your regards. Thank _you_!, my Friend. I love the use of the Luger pistol as a page mark. I will have to do the same in future posts to photograph page illustrations.
regards and Happy Holidays,
Painless

Alpha, when I was in Japan and saw that Girls und Panzer book in a bookstore, I immediately thought of you. You've already built many tanks from the series, and I thought about how you've had to freeze-frame the DVD to see specific details. So, I figured this book would kill two birds with one stone - it would let you see all angles of each tank, AND will help you to keep your money in tanks instead of having to replace your DVD player from a worn-out 'pause' button. -Mike

You must be a mind reader Mike.... As it dawned on me to say thanks again to you too :D
I've seen that book on EBAY some "listed" at the price you told me you got it in Japan for....the kicker was the shipping...most wanted 30 dollars for ship :O
That trend has seemed to have Changed to an outright "buy it now" ranging from 60 to 80 with "free" ship :haha:
Just adds to the reason I can't thank you enough for thinking of me when you were on your trip :thumbup:

I have to say it will save a lot of time doing research ....I've already gone through it so many times I've lost count lol

Can't thank you enough...have a HAPPY NEW YEAR my friend :thumbup:
