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

[Casey]

Finally, the '74 version with a correct roof.

[Junkman]

Open wide and say Aaaaaaaaaaah....

Wooden tongue depressers.

Oh wait, they aren't tongue depressers. They are 1:25 scale surfboard blanks, that's what they are!

The De Soto is for size reference:

They are exactly 21 scale inches wide. Perfect!

My Parts by Parks arrived in the mail today although I haven't had time to check them out as yet.

My wife gave me my first airbrush which is a Badger Anthem and an air compressor as well. She also got me a bunch of tools between those I got a buffing and polishing kit, a couple of Alclad paints for my chrome parts, a Flex-I-File kit and a Chrysler 300 kit from revell. I picked the car kit to make a present for my wife since I know it's one of her favorite cars.

Picked up the Revell Lamborghini Countach LP500. Two bottles of Testor's/Boyd's Orange Pearl and Tamiya Clear Orange spray. The tires in the kit, well I can't say what I'd like, but they're terrible. They're cheap and look undersized. So, I need to find some better ones. Rims too probably.

[Wayne's World]

Picked up one of my grail kits!!! AMT "The General" 1/25 Steam Locomotive.

Also picked up some 1/24 - 1/25 scale 2-bar diamond plate stryene sheet, 7 1/2" x 12" x .020" in a pack of two sheets for $6.99 at Hobby Lobby. Paid $4.50 with tax and 40% coupon. Plastruct goes for $10 for 2 sheets 2"x4".

Got this stuff at Hobby Lobby today. Used a 40 % coupon on each of the model kits so they were about 13 or 14 bucks each. Gotta love those 40 % off coupons.

[Lownslow]

this was one of the poster cars of my childhood

def doing something different tho not using the bbs wheels theyre just for show

[LDO]

This:

Nice little truck. It's old but I like the body style. I've been looking for an '86-'92 supercab. (No carburetors for me). 1986 2.9liter V-6/auto. Runs good, a/c is all-new, converted to R134. Very clean and I got a good deal on it; traded a pre-'64 Winchester Model 70 and some cash. Will be a cool vehicle to mess around with.

[cobraman]

Nice Ranger. They are good little trucks. I bought a new Ranger GT in 1987 and a new supercab in 1992. Had the 92 for 10 years and and was still running like new when I traded it in for a new F-150 Super Crew in 2002.
