SMA What's New In Your Stash?!?

Netherlands flag

Could it be you are referring to the Sprue Brothers logo?

 

[Jakko]

Aha! When I really zoom in on it, yes, I can just make out those words. It just looks like a poorly rendered flag otherwise, though.

 

[Edbert]

Why does Russian infantrywoman Tanya, but made by a Japanese company, have a Netherlands flag next to her?

On closer look, there seems to be some kind of darker rectangle in the upper right corner that means it's probably not a Netherlands flag, but I have no idea what it is supposed to be then …

You mean the red/white/blue rectangle near the SMG?

That is a watermark added by Sprue Brothers.

 

[Jakko]

Cultural differences, I suppose. When I see red-white-blue horizontal bars, my immediate association is "national flag"

I just ordered a 1/350 Very Fire deluxe kit of IJN Yamato! I'm very excited to have this monster ship with complete upgrades and the all new tooling. Built the old Tamiya ages ago, but this will be a huge challenge and upgrade.

Think you'll be starting on her any time soon? I cannot imagine how many hours of building a kit like that will take.

@Edbert it won't be too soon. It will more than likely be after the USS Indianapolis build, but we will see. I may need a break from ships and build a tank...lol.

Also been admiring ship GB, so two birds with one stone!

Admiring or you bought that one? What's ship GB?

If we're just admiring, I like this newer one. They're, as usual, getting a bit pricey lately:

Ah! I'm still doing the group build we started almost a year ago so I shoulda caught that instantly.

These things take time.
