Borgis

...and when June comes five years have gone since I paid for my order. Most of the stuff has arrived but some are still missing. But, I won't give up hope yet. (Psst, Al... )

I'm sure it'll end up well anyways. I love those -65 longroofs myself too.

Ouch! What did you strip it with to make it look like a bad recast? Wire stripper wheel?

It doesn't look like the normal ModelHaus quality. (?)

That's definitely true too.

If you think six months is a long time, try four years. That's how long I've been waiting for my order to be completed.

I won an auction for this one. Open box but untouched. So much nostalgia, since it's the first kit I can remember that I bought all by myself.

True but my source has a couple.

OK, so maybe not today, but the last couple of weeks... Unbuilt. Some tyre burn on the bed. No custom wheels. A perfect builder. Also unbuilt. It feels almost sacred to handle. Those two were a couple of if not outright glue bombs, so at least brush paint bombs. Luckily it all washed out. I managed to get the glass out from the Caddy and it's reusable in separate front, and rear pieces. The windshield of the Olds is a bit deformed by glue but I was lucky to get double windows in an unbuilt kit that i bought earlier. Sometimes you're lucky...

I don´t care for building anything stock but I like unchopped rods. Now I imagine there will be unchopped resin bodys available soon after the release.

You could have fooled me. I suspect if you randomly choose one of the pages of this thread the possibility of finding any Ranch wagon talk is about 3 in 10. Good moderation job!

No doubt about that. It's just that sometimes the wait can be (very) long.

Good riddance. 😈

No wonder new users feel so welcome here, when you all greet them in such a great way. Or not....

And then there was a P1800 from Palmer... http://volvo1800pictures.com/mini/palmer/mini_id_458.php
