Matt Bacon Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) I'd love the Auburn Boattail and the Chrysler Atlantic, but I rather sadly, my nearest Ollies is 3208 miles away, in Massena, NY... ;-(The box art on that Lindberg Stutz Racer is nice, too... very reminiscent of the Airfix 1/32 series of cars from the 60s... bestest,M.

lordairgtar Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 A trip to Lafayette Indiana would negate any savings. That's the closest one to my area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmak Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Those look like the leftovers of the sale I went to in Cedar Rapids, IA this spring. I was all Hawk models made before they sold to Round 2. I knew a buyer came in a bought everything right after I was there. Now I know who Carmak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Looks like Round 2 must've dumped some inventory since there's some AMT and Polar Lights kits in there. While you are at Ollies, check out the paint aisle, they often have Duplicolor close outs of discontinued series and colors for a buck a can. There was a dry spell for awhile where they had nothing, but the last two trips I found some decent stuff. Last April they had a lot of primer and engine colors. Recently I got tall can auto colors, not great colors-- mostly dark colors but for a buck? I'll find a use for it! I go to the Pottsville, PA store Edited September 30, 2015 by Tom Geiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I spy a Minicraft 1/144 scale Douglas C-54 on the right side of the fourth photo - nice! Any more Minicraft kits there?Did they have the Lindberg Mercedes vintage racer in there with the Stutz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maindrian Pace Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 They seem to be about as common as White Castle around these parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnt671 Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) I went back today and got these. Chris, I didn't see your post until after I went, and no on the Mercedes. I may wait a few days and go back because the last time they had the kits they restocked the shelves with a few different kits. If I do go back, I'll check on the Minicraft kits for you.

Johnt671 Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 Just a warning on the Gremlin, it's a 1/20 curbside kit. Even though the box is clearly mark so, I didn't see it and I started kit bashing in my mind. Now I'm bummed out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Basher Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 I went this morning. There is always some variation from store to store. The one I went to did not have the Atlantic or the Maverick, they did have the Charger police car. The AMT Vette kits were all curbsides.

Johnt671 Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 Now I'm super bummed. As I open the box for the Stuz I'm thinking of an engine swap. I have some Ford flathead V-8s and a couple of flathead 4s that might make a cool upgrade or even one of the V-8s in my backup parts would be a neat upgrade if I could hide one under the original hood. Then I open the parts bag and pull the chassis out it looks pretty big, and a quick looks at the box shows a 1/16 model. but it will still look nice when I'm done.

ChrisBcritter Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Looks like the wheels and tires from the Monogram '32 Cadillac would be a big help in improving the Auburn's appearance.

Yea, AMT has a great one, but this is a great detail painting build slump buster. I may get anotherThe Dodge 330 is the earlier issue I think. Check to see if it is bench or bucket seats.
