I've acquired quite a few new kits since I last posted, so I'll begin with this big ol' beast, one of many that I've grabbed.
-
It's been quite a while since I posted anything here, but this is my absolute latest. The same guy is also sending me a Revell Shelby Cobra, and it should arrive next week some time.

I recently made a deal with a fellow forumite (different forum), for a bunch of military models. He threw this in as "packing material".

I wasn't too impressed. I liked the Hoffa movie with Jack Nicholson, way better.

My babies. Gone now, but I'll probably snatch more, eventually.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer. I really don't recall when, but it was certainly a long time ago.

Speaking of armor kits,...

Cool project. I have the same kit sitting here, but will more than likely go with a vintage scheme, but Stooges graphics.

Interesting to know. Thanks.

Looks cool to me.

Very interested in seeing it finished.
Thanks. Don't look to see it in the near future though, as I'm working hot and heavy on a big 1:16 scale Jagdtiger right now.

I've now (finally) got the bed soaking in some LA Fabulous. Any idea how long I'll have to let it stay immersed? I had painted it Tamiya dark green as I thought that would look really cool, but it actually looked just horrible.

Just a bit envious though, this is on my wishlist as well.
Yes, a great score on my part, and just a weird coincidence; a chance comment that I really wanted one eventually (in a thread on another forum that had absolutely nothing to do with cars), followed but a couple of PMs from a guy, and the deal was made. It appears to be 100% complete, just as he said it was too.

Epilepsy aside, I just find them to be plain old annoying.

I already snatched them from the site below, but thanks anyway, for sure.

Yep, I googled the instructions and that site came up. Already downloaded all 28 pages, so I'm good to rock. Thanks a bunch.

One of my grail kits arrived a few days back, the Monogram 1:8 "Big Deuce". The kit was a shelf queen that had fallen into disrepair, so the guy sent it to me for the cost of shipping. Now all I need are the instructions, and I'm good to go.

Oh, yes, the Jagdtiger box is just ginormous. The Jack is one that I'd been seeking for a while, and I finally found one at a price that I thought reasonable, so I'm pretty happy.
-
I just had to, honest.

Will power? I don't need no stinking will power.

Still closed here, as far as I can determine.

It was May = Indy & Formula1 and Oct = Buick.
Now Oct = Indy, Formula1 and Buick possibly
OK, thanks a bunch. I'll have nothing for those categories, but I still hope to enter a car or two, regardless.

More American muscle, compliments of a good pal.

5 hours ago, Toner283 said:As far as an ignition device, the kit engine has a magneto instead of a distributor so no external coil is required. I cannot recall but the master brake cylinder may be on the firewall.
I appreciate that, but someone had already been good enough to enlighten me on that, as I had no idea. No brake cylinder though, not anywhere. In the grand scheme of things, it's probably not really that big of a deal, but by depicting the engine in a visible manner (there are no vertical hood segments), it seems it would have been wise to include those items that would be readily seen.

What non-auto model did you get today?

It is. Certainly not a great kit, but acceptable, at least for the reasonable price. I'm hoping that the new Trumpeter kit will be far nicer. If so, I'll sell this one off.
