It's hard to believe that we still are having winter weather, but no bluebonnets this time of year in central Texas. However, maybe some of the deals this week will heat things up just a bit.
For our armor fans, we'll start with the Tamiya Masterwork Collection 1:35 scale T-55A Desert Version from Military Issue for $69.95.
Replicating a Polish-built T-55A employed by Iraqi forces in the First Gulf War, this professionally assembled and hand painted, 1/35 scale, plastic and metal model features textured surfaces, an aluminum gun barrel, an opening commander's hatch, an anti-aircraft heavy machine gun and a loader's hatch, rear-mounted fuel tanks, realistic metal tracks, a desert paint scheme, and more. 7¼" long; arrives ready to display.
