Confirmation bias at work? Our best selling kits are spitfires ==> make more spitfires. Also, I suspect that at this point the upfront investment for another spitfire is far less than a newer subject. Capitalism has its rules.🤷‍♂️

P-40E Warhawk in American parlance. Not sure how that translates to the British names.

Thanks!

His JFF approach really helped me get back into modeling. Thanks for the update.

Strong A here. Model building for me is about the joy of completion. I occasionally have multiple projects at the same time but it makes me unhappy.

Was lucky to have visited that Tamiya store back in April. Made me feel like I had completed a life long pilgrimage. The shopping experience was amazing.

Couldn’t agree more. They just keep getting better and better. The zero series is amazing. The P-51 and especially the B’s are as well. This looks to be completely next level.

That’s brilliant looking. Not an armor guy at all but, I have been tempted by that kit more than once.

Ah. The Vallejo color looks correct-ish to every Pzkw I I’ve ever seen. Not sure I have seen a true flat brown used on an early war tank, they always appear some shade of grey.

Love the exhaust heat coloring.

Did a Quick Look and it appears that Vallejo 71.248 Brown Grey is the cross ref for RAL 7017 Dunkelbraun.

How many of the drill bits died in the process😀 I break those darn things regularly.

Herons are incredible birds. I have a white one that regularly hunts lizards in the yard. I’m glad for the help as the lizards are a nuisance.
