ZTony8 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) This past Saturday I went to a local IPMS show and picked up 4 kits- a Heller Porsche 917( the Martini livery, same as the Testor re-box,), a Monogram Lola Indy car, the Revell re-box of the Accurate Miniatures Corvette Grand Sport, and an Entex Ferrari 312T3 (which, on the box says 1/25th scale and on the decal sheet says 1/28th scale!) along with some decals. If you haven't ever gone to an IPMS show, try it. Sometimes you can find some real deals as the vendors don't always know what they have.

Rodent Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Friday I got the re-released 71 Duster, and four boxes of Girl Scout cookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Monogram Porsche 904. Don't know why, had to get one. Seen a few auction for higher than I wanted to pay on eBay, this vendor had a price that was not ridiculous. After I ordered it, they messaged me to say the rear window was missing, I said knock $10 off, they did, I'm happy. Think I can make a back window. I see a tire had melted a little into the roof (knife pointing to the spot), vendor had rebadged parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Tonight was our local monthly model car club meeting. So I picked another three kits for my collection. Round 2's reissue of the AMT 1/32 scale '60 Thunderbird. Their reissue of the AMT 1/25 scale '69 Chevelle sport coupe. And an old Revell kit of Jungle Jim's Monza funny car, with Jungle Jim and Jungle Pam figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard Racing Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Scale Auto magazine had an article about the Mecom Scarab. I went on E-Bay but couldn't find one for the price I wanted. But I did find a Monogram Chaparral 2D. It cost a bit more than I am used to paying, but the 2D has always been a favorite. I have built other Monogram curbsides in the past and found them quite satisfactory for what they are. i look forward to getting started on this project once it arrives.

I have both of them, and my intention is to build them both OOB with the plastic polished. The panel lines on these will be a challenge due to their width, especially on the Chaparral, but I'll figger it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
