Ok troops what kits did you get this year. I got a DML Scud missle launcher.

I got the Academy M3A1. (:-)

Is it a good kit?

I've just fondled the plastic so far, but it does look good. And everything I've heard about it is good too.

I got the scud also. Havent decided to do it in Iraqi (waiting to get our butts kicked) or Yemen contraband, which we let sail on. But I have a feeling we will be hearing more about scuds in the comming year.

I got Tamiya's M1A1 Abrams, Polar Lights' Ecto-1 and DeLorean time machine.
Other model related items: Bare Metal foil, 8 oz. of milliput, a nifty protractor/ruler, and one of those third hand clamps. Quite cool! :-)

I got a Tamiya Pz IV H, tool set for vehicles, Legends resin IDF PUMA, Skif's BMD, and a raft of Modelpoint barrels.

trying to finish one more kit this year, but the Italeri F14bombcat will have to be the first of 03...
gave up on the Italeri F15E when I found out how many pylons they left off!

My family knows that if they give me cash, I'll buy kits, books and other hobby supplies.

Before Christmas, I picked up a DML Sheman VC Firefly, an Academy Achilles, DML U.S. Anti-Tank figure set, a Tamiya 2 1/2-ton GMC truck, and a couple resin figures from Custom Dioramics.

After Christmas, someone on this board posted a link to Hobby Lobby's online coupon for 50% off plastic model kits. I printed this out and picked up a Tamiya M26 Tank Recovery Vehicle (the Dragon Wagon minus trailer) for $40. Whoever posted this link, Thank You Very Much!!!
