SMA What's New In Your Stash?!?

I've seen one kicking around downtown Ann Arbor, still actively being used as a truck, with various tools and lumber in the back.
They are too damn cool.
Edit: Thanks for the belated birthday wishes too! I've been super spacey the last couple of weeks, lol.

Just got another thing in the mail. Ordered it almost a year ago "for my birthday" in April. It got about as held up as held up can be in customs.

I've never done a HiRes Bandai kit before... and I've never had a Gundam kit come with a mostly assembled frame either. :p

I'm not sure if I should be kicking this thread or not.
I am sure that I don't need to be buying more kits, but I found a couple of discontinued Hasegawa kits priced appropriately and I couldn't pass it up.

I'm not usually a aircraft modeler but a fellow member (Gary) informed me of a pink Spitfire so it had to be built.

The Eagle was a childhood obsession so again, it had to be built.

I read the thread about the pink Spitfire.
I'm the opposite, I don't really do armor but have built the Jeep and will build the M8 Greyhound.
I also have a Batmobile kit and the USS Missouri in 1/350. The remaining kits are aircraft.

Looking forward to seeing your Spitfire, brother.
I'm probably not far behind you on buying another just to do the pink recon bird.
 
Sounds fun.
I'll check my hobby account funds. Then look for a comparable pink in Vallejo Air.
I have been researching the pink Spitfire and I am of the opinion that the colour will need to be home mixed. Some of the model examples I've seen are just a bit too pink and that's saying something from me.
