Looking forward to seeing them get painted up.

One base is missing but as I put them on different bases anyway it is not a loss to me. I would have liked more T-26 tanks using them first in "What a tanker" but with a view to Spanish Civil war.... well maybe!Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-32648366838884526272018-04-20T09:46:22.029-07:002018-04-20T09:46:22.029-07:00If you're not attending Salut (or any other sh...If you're not attending Salut (or any other show for that matter), what better way to celbrate than to treat yourself with the cash you saved by not going!<br />Great post Clint, and jealousof the price you managed on the lucid eye guys, no matter what they are!Zabadakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649765350412145174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430216265579762068.post-58928441236546581672018-04-20T08:51:42.992-07:002018-04-20T08:51:42.992-07:00Thank you Bryan.

If I lived way up north (like you) I would go once just to see what it was like.

On the one hand, I would like to go just once to see what it's like but on the other hand, I'm in agreement with you and thinking of all the money I'm saving by not going.
