Should be called Evilbay :evil:

Anyway I wanted a easy build before I start my "road to El Alamein " build. I chooses to build this old Tamiya kit of the M5A1 light tank.

Then I thought"hey let's see if they have at least some pe parts for this."

Bad choice. 24 hrs later I bought on eBay these... Total about $36.

In order of appearance... Verlinden M5 detail set, RB models browning upgrade, Bronco models workable M5 tracks....

I hope to be on night shift when I receive these so I will avoid wifey

That seems to be the norm now. I don't have a model ship that doesn't have extras out there that could drive the cost more than the model. Look at all the 1/200 ship models that have been released these past several years. You can spend another five hundred dollars on the PE, barrels, decking and resin parts to correct the errors that vendor made on the model. Its crazy.
