Well, actually, one of my biddies did not know what to get me for Christmas. So, my wife told him to order me a PAK 40 for Christmas. I am very happy with this cannon and I plan on getting several more when I see them at WM.

I got a Pak-40, an Avenger, a few S1 BotB Germans and tankers, a 32x Maultier half-track truck and a BBI Old Crow. I knew what I was getting, heck I had to get the Avenger myself last month.:lol: But at least I get what I want. :wink:

I got the PAK40 too, but I was able to open it two weeks ago. Gotta love the oddball family Christmas get togethers. :wink:

No XD, unless you count my HT/Pak-40 missions for myself back in late November, but some factory original accessories for one of my cars (and NOT a Fiero) were a definitely cool alternative 8)

Forces of Valor 1/32nd Tiger I from Target. Looks exactly like this:

http://www.forcesofvalor.com/product.aspx?pid=9

But no hatch-mounted AA MG is included. I think the Target offerings are somewhere between "Action" grade and "Enthusiast" grade FOV's.

It's got "battle damaged" zimmerit, what appears to be rubber-rimmed wheels, and other hull bits that make me think it is a Mid-production Tiger I, vs. a Late Tiger I as they sell in 1/72nd scale. IMHO, much nicer than 21C XD32 Tiger I.

I seen the reply on the probable 1/18th 21C KingTiger for 2007 and I'm saving my ducats for that one! Oops- unless I find an Avenger at WallyWorld first!

Post by Fitzystigertank » Tue Dec 26, 2006 3:47 pm

I got for christmas is a AT 262, all 6 of the new D day figures, Pioneerwagon and couple of accessories from build a rama.
One question I have is on the Pioneerwagon the accessories that came with it are gas can, suitcase and trunk. what is supposed to be the long tube like thing and the computer like thing??
the 262 is a beautiful model.

The dots are the cartridge case bases and the shelf is the open lid. At least that's my working theory.

I looked up this model of the hanomag and the 251/7 has explosives. i thought maybe it was a battery for the explosives.

As soon as you mentioned battery, I wondered if it might be part of the firing circuit for the rockets. After a quick google, nothing was found. However 21c's announcement mentions it comes with an ammo box.

Here's the link.

your putting 2 halftracks together. what i mean is your thinking of the stuka zu fuzz by saying to fire the rockets. i'm talking about the pioneerwagen. anyways its still a cool model tho.

Finaly got a Panzer IV (non RC version :D ) on eBay offered by my wife amongst other things. This baby was the last armored vehicle missing in my WWII collection.

Yeah, I did. Sorry 'bout that, but I had in mind something that was uniquely required for any a given variant and had battery in mind at the time. At any rate I hope I didn't cause any confusion.

I put several XD planes on my list this year. Didn't find one of them under the tree :cry: I can't really complain, I got everything else I wanted.
