As you may know, I hosted a field trip to my motor pool for the Nordland AMPS group located south of Boston last Saturday. This great bunch of guys surprised me today with a gift in the mail, the Tamiya Dragon Wagon kit with 40 ton trailer!

It's got to be the largest 1/35 scale kit I've ever seen! (yeah I know that huge U-boat is bigger).

Man, I'm extremely thankful to those guys, several of whom have since become members of Armorama like Charlie (TUNA), Rob (Alpenflage), Dave (Dixon66) and Rob Feehan (rfeehan). It was a very nice gesture and greatly appreciated.
