I saw a special on the Kursk battlefield in the present day, and a team of diggers had found and un-earthed the COMPLETE front glacius plate from a TIGER 1!! complete with visor block, MG socket with remains attached, and some part numbers still visible. That must have been one heck of an explosion to remove that piece of armor from the main hull!!

They came back from Kursk pretty well depleted. They could have been known as the 5th SS Panzer Company after that meat grinder.

Yep!! X2 Duane is a great guy to trade with. Shipping is LASER fast, and well packaged.

Got my trade in from Vince, aka vintagedragcrazy. Perfect as always!!

That is one beautiful car!!! The 2 tone paint sets it off. The only deal that fell into my lap was my house, and i've been flat broke ever since!! LOL

I'm lucky to still have my wife after her car accident. I don't ever take her or our time together for granted because i came within a frogs hair of losing her. She's my best friend.

Just finished up a great trade with DuaneB aka Duane Ballard. Great guy to trade with!!! Kit showed up CRAZY fast and well packed.

Is that the Green 1;1 one that the pictures were posted of on the boards? Beautiful car sir!!!

I'm guessing you have never been divorced? The Happy wife+ Happy Life simply is a mindset that keeps things in perspective. Trust me, if she goofs up, im the first one on her case about it. If both people have the same mindset to make each other happy, then that phrase makes perfect sense. I have never had to sneak kits into the house either, but if left to my own to say when is enough plastic, i'd be living in a cardboard box with a bunch of unbuilt kits. You have been married for 47 years. You have found what "works" for your marriage, give and take, right? Well "happy wife=happy life" works for me. She's that little voice that simply asks if i really NEED another kit when i have so many. She forces me to stop and think about the purchase before i buy it. I DO pay all the bills, Mortgage, TWO car payments, not to mention all the medicals bills since her car wreck. She just keeps it real for me. No war to start, man. Your entitled to your opinion. I only hope my wife and i have 47 years together. We have 12 so far. Thanks for the kit offer Andy!! Much appreciated .

Nah.. I tried that one before too. Happy wife, Happy life. Only cost me a car and house to learn that one. Collecting ex-wives is more expensive that plastic. I think I found a good one this time. I gripe and Grinch about stuff sometimes, but she's WWWAAAYYYY better than my ex by far.

I tried that once. I told her 1 was a builder, the other a spare. It got to the point she was selling the "spare" kits on ebay!!! She does pretty good with my hobby, but I do let it get out of hand sometimes.

I appreciate the offer, but I'm about 1 more kit away from getting skinned alive by the wife. Thanks much for the offer though.

Now That's a score!! Wish we had one locally.

Amen.

Wasn't Swindler"A" the blue car? Just googled it. That's not it.

Yep. Have many a scar on my shins from forgetting to take the hitch out of the receiver..... A very painful reminder.

Lookin GOOD!! Lovin the oil paint wash effects. Drybrushing and/ or chaulks will really make it pop.

I would imagine they would need shin guards to even walk around that thing......

I am trying to find more aggresive tires for the Meng F-350. I've found some Fireball crawler tires, but will the kit rims fit in the tires?

I do 3/4 of all my trades with you guys!! LOL!! I have been 110% happy with the trades we have made with each other.

Agreed. Ken is first class. I have had several great trades with Ken.

George Barris would be proud!! Sharp build Ferby.

Right back at ya Vince and Ken!!! Any time.

1970 Chrysler Newport. Four door, Blue metallic with black vinyl top. Even as a little kid i loved that car.

LOL!!!!
