And in the box was a real nice additional prize for me, one that had originally not been included with the gift.
-
Another Christmas raffle gift arrived a few days ago. This was declined by another member, so I snatched it up.

Some friends of mine brought one into the USA in a crate, disassembled, mostly covered in cosmoline, years ago. Fair bit of P-51 influence too, with the wide landing gear and belly cooling system arrangement.
It's supposed to be a pretty good kit. I guess we'll see when the time comes.

Won in a web site Christmas raffle (different site).

Same here, the Nikon that I have is way more than adequate for my online hobby requirements.

This was my only vehicle related gift, but it's pretty darned cool.

Wernher von Braun, he aimed for the stars (but sometimes hit London by accident).

I only have about a dozen or so car models, and will never reach the level of the OP, but when I look at the rest of my stash; aircraft armor and ships, I too have a ton, far more than I can manage to complete in the next fifty years. My family (brother and sister) could care less, so they'll probably all be taken to the dump.

, they are pretty cheap , you can get a new one on Ebay with a lens for just under $400 shipped.
OK, thanks. (I currently use a Nikon Coolpix that works just great, but I'd eventually like to upgrade.)

I am saying this is my Christmas present to myself, B&H Photo had a good deal that I couldnt pass up.
Just out of curiosity, how much will you be seeking for the D5300?

For me, it's a giant subwoofer, usually on such a junky car that the bumpers vibrate. I hear a little too much of that around here.

A couple more for the pile, both gifts from different friends.

Now that's funny.

A very minor thing by some standards, but I received this yesterday, a Meade moon filter for my telescope. This should help a great deal when viewing the moon.

Never heard of him; Chip's dad, I take it?

I'd like to know that myself. My coffeine induced shaky hands would never allow such precise work.

The combination of the two will look pretty decent, I think.

Now being somewhat reluctant to use the Tamiya Coral, I opted for Testors Icy Blue instead.
-
After scrubbing with some steel wool, I've repainted using Testors gloss black instead. This I should be able to work with.
-
The Tamiya black on the fenders turned out just horrible. I don't know if I just goofed it up or what.
-
Body primered, so now good for some paint.
-
Seat cleaned up and primered now; looks a heck of a lot better, but still needs a bit of tweaking.

OK, too late for me then.
What non-auto model did you get today?

One more for the pile, this time as a review kit. (I'll have the review up in a few days.)
