postmanusnac Posted June 16 Share #1 Posted June 16 I was big into modeling as a teenager and had a ton of fun building with my dad and his brother. As I got older I still had fun, but other hobbies and constantly moving took up all my time. In the early 2000s I was buying kits from Squadron left and right. Here are some of those that have sat in their boxes for the last 20 years. I swear I’ll work on the some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikie Posted June 16 Share #2 Posted June 16 You just shifted hobbies from model kit builder to model kit collector. Hope you have fun with them either way! Mikie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postmanusnac Posted June 17 Author Share #3 Posted June 17 That’s a great way of looking at it. One day I’ll build them or I’ll get my son to enjoy modeling as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postmanusnac Posted June 17 Author Share #8 Posted June 17 Great kits ! Love the 88mm gun one ‘Thanks! My first flight engineer was a big modeler and he took me under his wing. He showed me a great model shop out in Naha (Okinawa) and I would buy Tamiya kits by the dozen.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think postage for shipping over the big pond will be huge. I ´ll check if I can find one in one of my favourite modeling shops first. Thanks again!

Awesome. Well Lars, in my opinion Leopold would go good with Dora. Hope you get it. Semper Fi. Manny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted June 20 Share #12 Posted June 20 Manny, yes of course, imagine the direct comparison of these two side by side. Would be great to see some of these kits here when they are built and painted. Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postmanusnac Posted June 24 Author Share #14 Posted June 24 By the way… Is Dora another railroad gun model? Not sure I’ve seen that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted June 24 Share #15 Posted June 24 Yes, it´s the largest 1/35 scale model I´m aware of with a lengh of about 1,80 meter made by SOAR Art. The original gun was a railway gun with a caliber of 80 cm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postmanusnac Posted June 24 Author Share #16 Posted June 24 Holy crap… it’s only $257 on Amazon and it weighs 10lbs… lol… that’s a lot of plastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postmanusnac Posted June 25 Author Share #17 Posted June 25 The last of the kits that I haven’t even touched. *I did barely get started on the Afrika Korps Tiger 1. I’ll post some models I’ve actually started of completed later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
