And many PE sets recommended by fellow members for each one.

I think it might just be an LCM3 from Trumpeter.

That all depends on what's on sale. I really need to cut back on my buying, at least until get more of mine built. I'm always checking out my LHS and once in a while I get a good deal. Like last week I got a Tamiya M8 Greyhound for $18.00, about half what they normally go for. If I don't see anything like that I'll probably wait until the next Hobby Lobby 1/2 off sale. I'm hoping to get more modern equipment, like the M2 Bradley or one of the re-boxed Humvees from the desert.

I think I'm going to go and build some of those wingied-things to give me a bit of a break from doing armour all the time. I'm considering doing a number of aircraft that were flown through the years by the RCAF from it's founding through to the modern times. With the bit of researching I've done so far, I've never realized how many different types of aircraft that have been in service with the Canadian Armed Forces.

Im in the same boat ... I have lots of models to build and 14 underway. I hate having so many .. it makes buying seem silly. I have instructed the wife though to get me the trumpeter 1/16 T34 for christmas.
So between now and then, hopefully I wont be tempted to buy more kits ... maybe just the odd accessory for those i am building! :-)

HI, As it stands at this moment it will be the Trumpeter 1/16 scale T-34/42 kit. I am totally amazed at this model and can't seem to get enough of it. Ha.
Take care, Sgirty

Well, no more buying for me, I better build some more models first and then buy new ones It's not that I have lots of kits, but I wanna be a builder instead of an obsessed collector. :-)

I have 4.5 kits in my stash (kit#5 has been sprayed pre-shade but still unbuilt) so I have no need to buy a kit at the moment. The beauty of building Shermans is that they hardly ever release new Shermans so I have plenty of time to build and snap up older Sherman kits.

Whatever the next good deal I can find on ebay.....seems to be pretty few and far between lately...either that or I am just getting too cheap...lol
I have pretty much everything I want other than a few of the holy grails....Dragon Scud, Academy Warrior, few others. No big deal though.....
Always on the look out for a good deal....I never have the need to run out and buy the latest kit.

my current goal is to build all of the vehicles that i operated or was a crew member on while i was in the army from 69 to 73. these will be starting with the 151a1 on up to the sheridan tank, mostly armor, but also some wheeled vehicles, so will be a mix of wheel and tracks... as a scout of course the m113 will be prevalent, but am looking for the m114 training vehicle used at ft knox, as well as the wheel and tracked recovery vehicles.....
