+michael green Thanks! I added a few rows of planking today...getting my "sea legs" again...LOL! The instructions are really well put together. With the planking, it defines where joints are to be, tapering and such. When it comes to paints, Personally I have switched over to acrylics almost exclusively even though I still have a wide variety in the stash. I have a wider color range, they dry quickly and can still thin for washes and streaking...pigments. Oils work great, but I might used them for shading and lightening on some models on the finish. Again, I just work fading with acrylic more now. Just have to change my approach. The 1st gift will work out well later on. There is a 2nd one at Pack 4; a small tool kit. Probably would have been best to add the hand plank bender to Pack 2 since the 1st course of planking is being done. But I understand most might not be fully through the first run by the time the kit shows up. LOL...you beat me to the sander!! You'll have to let me know how well it works! Enjoy the Marder!! I love Tammy kits. Other than price and minor details, the kits fall together real nice! Just popped a 1/48 Pz. IV together the other day! I like how quick they go as it gets me to the fun parts faster; painting and weathering! Enjoy!

+michael green Happy Thanksgiving to you as well Michael! Yes, there is another one on the way soon. I was going to roll #3 and #4 together since Pack 3 was mostly planking. I am a little behind on a few things, but it should be hopefully within the next week. Probably just before the arrival of 5...LOL!!

Great cant wait!
