Airdrop recieved.

On the recommendation of Geordie I tried Models for Sale dot com for my Daimler Dingo needs and found them to have an interesting selection. After much weighing of options and careful consideration I ordered a Fujimi Sd.Kfz 250/3 halftrack (with bonus BMW bike!), three Monty's Caravan and one HäT Armourfast M10 Achilles fast-build box on Saturday night, paid by paypal on Monday evening and recieved my box of toys on Thursday morning making the stated shipping time of "three to five days" more like "two and a bit". Due to a bit of paypal weirdness there was some worry that the package was going to the wrong address but Vince was more than happy to discuss this with me via email and put my concerns to rest. The package arrived in perfect condition with good use of foam peanuts to protect the contents.

All in all, a highly reccomended site. Good prices, good service, good shipping. I'll be using htem again. Thanks again to Geordie for pointing me in that direction and to Models for Sale themselves.

PS: If anyone has suggestions for decent crew for the Achilles that'd be appreciated. I'm thinking the Revell M7 priest crew might be a good start but I'm not sure.

Last of the summer photos (except it's only spring).

This is the last of the units I got photographed during the brief sunny afternoon last week, a single view of one of two HäT Armourfast Cromwells I have built as half of the 2nd Battalion Welsh Guards Armoured Reconnaissance Battalion.

I need to get one more Cromwell and a Challenger to finish this platoon off, and then some more British Infantry to ride the tanks as 1st Battalion and finish up the Welsh Brigade.
