A young man talked his dad into the Maisto mid 50's Chrysler 300 and the 69 Dodge Charger.....nice choices! I had been talking with the vendor and then I see a 69 Cougar back fill the space formerly occupied by the 300. I teased the seller about holding back so we walked over to see what had not made it to the table yet. BOOM....first thing that materializes is the 'cuda. A few other nice ones and not being a Ford man, I caved on the Mustang. $50 for the trio. Sharp trio! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the best in the industry for construction equipment. The Euclid is super scarce with only 100 having been made. Been kind of a “holy grail” for me.

swede70 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) Greetings... A visit to the Detroit Autorama Toy Show turned up a slightly damaged 1:24th Danbury Mint 1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am for $25. The exterior rear view mirror was missing, while the rear suspension needed a small amount of sorting given the driveshaft had separated from the differential and allowed the two-piece 'functioning' shock absorbers to fall out of alignment. Carefully bending the driveshaft yoke on the back to reset the same in relation to the differential while also aligning bottom half of each shock to slide into the top half of these assemblies allowed the rear end to be reset without the use of glue. Not terrible then... A 1:25th Revell '69 Camaro Z/28 plastic kit afforded a replacement exterior rear view mirror (seen in-position and largely happy), hence it's fairly presentable after a bit of cleaning and work to darker the tires via the use of Lexol/Vinylex. The body was washed here and there, while Mequiar's Quik Wax worked it's usual wonders with the plastic 'glass'. The box, foam shell and paperwork was included. Thanks...

Snake45 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Sweet score, Swede, well worth $25, I'd have been all over that, too. And great resto/cleanup job--I LOVE that kinda work! Well done and model on! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps46 Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 Just bought a 1928 Stutz Black Hawk from the Danbury Mint in 1/24 scale. I already had one that I had converted to the 1928 Le Mans entry #1 but it was missing a few parts and thought this cheap model would supply what I was missing. Now that I see it I have decided just to leave it as a barn find model. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately I was able to repair the spindle by replacing the missing rod. Everything is attached and works in the model from the steering wheel to the drop link to the spindle and to the tie rod, wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps46 Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 I decided I wanted an all white Bronco but after wasting my time and gas searching area Wally Worlds I bit the bullet and ordered from Amazon. Next day here we go. I think it makes a pretty neat tow vehicle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
