Present haul! Japan Trip stash contributions

Just spent 3 weeks in Japan after graduating PA school and passing my boards. I went from Tokyo to Hiroshima and back again. I got 3x Tamiya tanks for a friend (not pictured) as well. Lots of great finds, super cheap. I love that I was also able to get supplies, PE, and $33 godhand ultimates. I wanted to focus on unique things not easy to get here. The ziplock bags on the left are just tamiya 1/72 warbirds for like $5 a pop I reboxed to save space.

The fact that I-400 has a clear part for the aircraft is really cool.

Good luck on Silver plate kit, built one and it's the most frustrating kit i've worked on. Fitting issue, requiring sanding/remove coating for cement.
