What did you get today? (Model Car Related Items)


Recommended Posts

Yes the kit is the same contents as the yellow one with newer decals. I got 2 of the new ones today and compared them with my older ones. The decals for this version only have the # 50 car. The team ran 2 cars at Lemans in '03 with them being the # 50 and also # 53. My son is doing one and I was going to do the other. Does anyone know of a source for them, or anyone willing to make me a # sheet for it ? The correct paint for them is available from Scalefinishes also if anyone wants to go that route. My son also got some Tamiya paint and a p/e sheet on clearance for a Tamiya GTR. :D

I was given these by an older friend of mine who built these YEARS ago, he said. He had a few other built models (36 Ford roadster, and others) that he told me he intended to rebuild some day. I told him that if he ever wanted to get rid of them to call me.

My friend also gave me this book:

It has some nice reference photos for a car similar to the 55 Chrysler 300. It was called the A600. I may try to do a replica of it when they FINALLY come out with the 300.

34 Ford Pickup:

It has interesting hubcaps. Does anyone know if these came in the original kit or are they from another kit? Are they custom or are they a stock cap? I've never seen them before.

More in the next post.

Later-

They must have come with the kit- the one I got a few days ago and posted here has those same wheel covers on it.

I guess I'm becoming a collector- bought this one because its the last one I need for a "complete set" of unbuilt Volares ('77 Volare, "77 Road Runner Super Pak, '78, '79 Road Runner, '80 Fuzz Duster)

The first one I'd seen at at decent price in a long time

Lucky you...I only have the 2 '77s....the other 3 are all on my 'grail' list...
