My stash just grew again 2025

From Model Expo on Monday.

1/35 Hobby Boss M4 High Speed Tractor.  Towing Long Tom, for the purpose of.  It has rubber band tracks but I have an inkling a set of individual links for a Stuart might be made to fit.  But first, I shall see if anything can be done with the left over Panzer IV track links lurking under my bench.

Mate the M4 HST used M4 Sherman tracks ..Stuarts are far to small and annoyingly I haven't found a set of AM M4 tracks which haven't sucked 
Now converting to P IV would be very interesting 

What I read said the M4 was based on the M2 light tank chassis.  The M2 became (I think) the M3 and M5 Stuart.  The running gear on all four (M2, 3, 4, and 5) look very similar.
But i'm going to play with the P IV links first.  You never know.

How much is it worth ? 

[NARSES2]

I've bought it with the intention of building it so, at least i'll try and i really hope that's the case with this kit as there's nothing else of that airplane.

I've got my part started one out of the "box of shame" and I'll give it another go when I'm back from Brussels in a couple of weeks. It is a lovely airplane for sure.

   I'll be on the lookout to see how it goes.

Yep yep 👍...pretty much on the money there but 😆
The M4 HST is nearly twice the size of the M5 HST but M3 tank tracks will fit a M5 where as the M4..no ways close ...similar in looks..yes..size wise ..nope

I lost out to the Revell 1/72 Airbus A400M Grizzly broken model and the two Blohm & Voss
 BV-222 Wikings on eBay but I did get the aircraft weapons bundle so my version of the Harvest Hawk will be added to the C-160 Gunship project.

From the Big H a few accessories which should enable me to start on a couple of projects.

1/72 IBG Canopy mask for their PZL P.37A Los
1/72 Peewit canopy mask for the AZ Hornet
1/48 Art Scale Canopy mask for the Airfix Jaguar
1/48 Inside the Armour 3D printed Martin Baker Mk 9 "bang seat2 for  the Airfix Jag. My first 3D printed purchase - amazing

And because I couldn't possibly allow these 4 defenceless little pieces to travel through the UK postal system unaccompanied, an Edward 1/72 P-51 D-5 Mustang to escort them.

Heavens yes! They'd have been mobbed by dozens of Eduard Me-109s and Fw-109s of various versions. That P-51 will have frightened them off OK.

From Hannants, AZ model Gotha P. 60. 6. Not had a proper look at it yet, but it seems to be a nice Kit. Thinking captured by the ministry of Axis Acquisitions, in a Luftwaffe scheme with RAF markings, or as either a prototype in RAF markings, or an in service version with the RAF.
Also got a pair of Lonewulf Jumo jet engines to replace the ones I am putting on the Dornier.
