I won't post the details of the remaining 20 pages because it'll be too long and it takes time to compile.

Latest Acquisitions

Type89_001.jpg

This is the Fine Molds Type 89 Imperial Japanese Army tank that came with the three Armour Modelling magazines and the Masterbox figures. I need to review the kit on Track-Link but the build will be here (too bad China is not allowed in the sPacific Dave Harper GB).

I now need to order the Fine Molds 1/35 Extra Detail Parts for Type 89 Medium Tank (M36091), Modelkasten 1/35 IJA Type 89 Tank Track (SK-71), and Sinsuigami 1/35 IJA Type 89 Tank Camouflage Decal Set (MCD108).

Re: Latest Acquisitions

funky boxarts on the finemold kits!

The three boxes are all for only one kit. Very nice, yet wasteful packaging.

Chris the Toadman Hughes has some great photos on his site, click photograph above to go there.

Recent purchases/gifts:

DML Pz.Kpfw.38(t) Ausf.E/F
Zvezda Gaz-AAA
DML Ghost Division Tank Crew Blitzkrieg 1940
DML Advance to Kharkov 1942
DML German Warriors 1940-41

And then because I've been sceptical about the opinions voiced in the reviews of Master Box figures, I picked up 2 sets on a special:

WWII German Infantry in Action, 1941-1942 Eastern Front Series
German Panzergrenadiers (7 Figure Set)

Thorough reviews may follow at some point when I clear the current backlog.

Pretty sure these are the same types you're looking at Saul. Best I can piece together this was at Marcus Island while Dad was on the way back from Korea in 1952, fuel stop maybe?
 
Great photos! Those are Type 95 it seems...

Found a photograph of the French using the Type 89 in Indo-China.

Regards,
 
What nice additions to the stash! The M4A1 Direct Vision hull and the El Alamein seem to be the same kit with different markings (perhaps sand shields on the latter). Are the tracks different? The Mk III in Sicily comes with the WE 210 tracks?
