Hi

I'm not sure on the best venue for this, but I just got a couple of LVTs from Squadron on special.

Check it out if you are interested!

Hi Rob

See, the site is too busy!!

I'd looked through a couple of pages of Armor Talk posts, and not seen the message.
A search didn't do much either!

Ah well, at least a few more folks should be able to capitalize on the deal!

Cheers
Andy

Thanks Sabot!

And now that I've finally learned how to change the number of threads displayed, I won't be making extra posts!

The special seems to be lasting longer this time. Perhaps there's a glut of LVTs out there?! Greatmodels has the same kit cheap, and now ModelExpo seems to have given up on Italeri armor kits completely.

Cheers

...now ModelExpo seems to have given up on Italeri armor kits completely.


I noticed that. I did get the Water Buffalo, M110A2, M1036 and Commando Hum-v from them for less than the Water Buffalo normally goes for. For a while there, they were giving away Revell of Germany kits and they did literally give away Accurate Minitaure aircraft kits. When they started their new website, the gave you an AM P-51A for the price of postage. They also clearanced out their Heller and Airfix kits as well.

yeah, model expo really helped me load up on Italeri WWII kits, and even some airplanes (oh that dirty word)

I would not fret it. Years ago, I got some SWS with Panzerwerfers from Model Expo for like $5 each. Then they had no Italeri armor for a while, almost a year. Then boom, there is a whole list of it. i amsure they will get more soon enough.

Just gotta keep an eye on squadron...yes, I remember those Bruce Beamish specials...he he he.
