Thanks Cirius.. FSM Web site you say? I will check it out..

Benny B.. u r correct...I'll admit it, I am a bit embarrassed, I really do have way too much ..

I have started many.. just got to get down to buildin' em...I really am nearing the end of my

purchases though.. I just figured .. I should get the stuff while I can...I come from a time that if you didn't get it

when you saw it... it was most likely gone forever..

Thanks again, and I'll keep you posted,

Joe

P.S. Just in-case you are wondering what's next..

I am still compiling 3D printed detail parts for some kits:

1/16 Fender kits for a Panzer IV Hulls
1/16 Schurtzen hangers for the Brumbar and the Stug IV
1/16 Ludwig Hetzer.. exterior details
1/16 Ludwig Sd.Kfz. 251 Ausf D / 22 ... I need the Pak 75 mount and some rear fighting compartment details
1/16 Warren M7 Priest .. just need the 50 cal ring mount
1/16 Warren M3 1 Recovery Tank.. this is a conversion for the Hungarian M3 Lee conversion kit with the undersized turret...
those of you who have the Lee know what I am talking about.. right?.. unusable! .... Well, this is a solution...

As for kits... I am excited to get the:
1/16 Warren Panzer II .. when available... ( I expect sometime later this Year)
1/16 Ludwig Matilda .. when it becomes available ... ( I am told very soon)
and finally the
Ludwig 1/16 M48 Patton... also when it becomes available... (I am told maybe March?)

That is when I am finished.. unless someone comes out with a Caffee or a Hellcat : )

One more thing.. There are a couple of guys who are doing fantastic 1/16 3D printed parts for
the 1/16 kits... they are a fraction of the cost of the Aber stuff and very detailed.. for example
the M7 Priest conversion kit is 100% 3D printed and found at Shape Ways.. I have gotten Great!... and I mean GREAT!!!
Fender replacement kits for a Panther / Jagdspanther and the Panzer III / Stug III.. these sets are extremely detailed and
like I mentioned the Panzer IV is next.. these are fantastic upgrades to the existing kits...

If interested one day I'll give you guys a detailed list of the all the parts and who did them for me...
