Matt Bacon Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Big Christmas present finally arrived after being lost by the courier for a nerve-wracking couple of weeks! It'll sit nicely next to the big Airfix Bentley in my cabinet. Now I just have to decide whether to build it in iconic red, or as the specific prototype detailed in this rather excellent book... best, M.

Un-assembled and never opened. Of course I had to open it. And the Ply,mouth Fury arrived Christmas Eve day. Nice score. I have a convertible 56 DeSoto. Where did you get yours? I have the Chrysler 300 interior parts to use on mine. Later- Edited December 27, 2019 by Modlbldr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fury I got from a guy's Mopar Facebook site. One little vent window post is broken but it's in the box. That little piece on the back of the vent window.

I forsee a golf harlequin in my future because nothing else would suit them (pick up just for sizing) There was an actual rim company that made those...so it's a thing.

Ronal made them, they are called Teddybear (no surprise there...) I spotted them on a Chevy/daewoo not too long ago. I have seen pictures of them painted as winnie the phoo.

CabDriver Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I was lucky enough to get a pretty cool modelling accessory for Christmas from my wife - a really cool photo booth! I’m impressed so far with it - it came with a bunch of different color backdrops and has two LED lightbars front and back and various diffusers and so on - way cool! I also scored a Shoebox Ford: And, not modelling related but still cool - a Miata shirt! ? There was some other stuff too, but I’m sure you all don’t want to see my socks that I got ?

And a Lindberg custom '37 Ford. Which is OK, that's the old Testors Boyd's Smoothster kit. It has a nice modern drivetrain and a chassis that will fit under quite a few bodies with a little tweaking. Thanks for showing the photo booth. I'm looking for one and yours is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would look on both as theres usually some differences between their site and ebay listings. They come with tyres and mounting parts for tamiya and aoshima mounts.

That is a great looking Photo Booth. I would like to get one of those also, depending on price of course, maybe you could tell us were to find that booth. The Show Boat '50 Ford is a great kit and had a lot of custom options. As I recall the Flat Head had optional aluminum heads and multiple carbs.

Mine is their 16” sized one, but they do a 24” one too. I’d be tempted to have the bigger one if I had the room, but apartment living in New York means that space is at a premium, so...

Straightliner59 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) I got this for $40, shipping included. I've been wanting one, for a while. It's all there. Some of it's (obviously) painted, but, other than that, it's in fine shape! I didn't see the penciled notation on the box lid, before I got it. I happen to have Hot Rod Magazine's Yearbook #11. I opened it up, and there's a great article on this car! That was convenient! These photos are from the auction...

Just got a parts car for the Roadmaster, pretty cheeep: Body's got the usual issues plus glue damage, but I just wanted it for the better-detailed chrome. We'll see how it all fits the non-shrunken Argentine styrene. Wish it had the correct wheelcovers, but I do have a damaged Franklin Mint '53 Skylark I can swipe the spokers from...
