SMA What's New In Your Stash?!?

And now think about the fact that 1:16 scale tanks are becoming more and more popular. Mostly Second World War so far, but Das Werk is going to release a Leopard 2A7, which in 1:35 is already a little bigger than your Chieftain. Now imagine it over twice as long, wide, and high …

That is a lot of work, I don't have so much time to spend on model kits, and don't have the patience all so.

Thanks, I am truly sick. I just ordered 2 brand-new Acadamy Wirbelwind for $22.00. That's $11.00 each. I can sell them at a show for $20.00 each. I also ordered the new Ryefield King Tiger (regular version) for $34.99. I can't pass up a deal!

Eenee, Minee, Moe,
Catch a Tiger by the toe,
But make it quick, and fast I mean,
Before that guy Bodeen !

I went on a trip to the Overloon war museum today, and in the museum shop came across a good number of AFV Profiles booklets from the early 1970s. I bought four that I think I didn't already own (which is harder than it seems, because I have nearly the entire series). As they cost a euro each, I'm not all that concerned about buying doubles At the model shop across from the museum, I also picked up two sets of useful crew figures:

Nice! Are these good sources I should keep an eye out for?

Yes and no They are a good introduction to the subject, but they're short (24 pages) and around 50 years old by now, meaning a lot of information in them is out of date due to newer research. However, a lot of it is also still completely sound, not to mention sometimes things you will be hard-pressed to find in modern-day publications which tend to be more "high-speed".

One of the copies I got today says it costs "five shillings" and another "35p/$1.50" which should tell you something about their age (Also, that the price went up by 40% in just a few years: 35 new pence = 7 old shillings.) I bought them because I'm a bit of a sucker for old AFV books, and also because I have nearly the whole series complete but not quite.
