Went back to HL today - passed on the subs (again) and decided to hold off
on the big Tomcat too. Neither is in my mainstream of focus (1/35th armor
and 1/48th aircraft) so I figured if I was going to be weak right now, at
least make it count. I couldn't resist the Dragon King Tiger Ardennes 1944
kit at $18. I recalled the discussion in RMS on Dragon's recent improvements
a few days ago and decided I needed to find out for myself.
WOW! That is some good looking plastic in there - and aluminum, and
brass...
Let the research begin.

STOP IT! You're not helping me fight the urge to make that trip myself.

Me too. I just couldn't stay away. Passed on the sub, Bone and Big Deuce
again but picked up Dragon Tiger, T-34? and a Caddy kit just for the engine
and wheels for a rod project. I'll curbside the body in some mild custom, I
guess.

They're all closed on Sundays. The discipline will be if they issue
another 40% off anything coupon in tomorrows ad. :-)
Ours happens to have a humongous submarine model, Revell I think, about
3' long I'd guess and about $69. BIG sucker for sure! They have a huge
one of the QM II too. Bought that one myself.

They're all closed on Sundays.
Went by my local HL today just as they were putting out some new stock and
picked up the Tamiya 1/48 Tiger I. And I wasn't even "shopping." They are
closed now so we've got to wait until the next quarter for a big sale.
Don't know about all the stores but the local one has an aisle devoted to
mark-downs. All the models on clearance are 1/3 off. Saw a Tamiya
Beaufighter and a 72nd Mossie and a bunch of cars and cycles. Seems like an
ongoing thing.

Has anyone seen the Big Zero from Tamiya there yet?
