Deuces ll Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 8 hours ago, Bucky said: I ordered a part from Lexington, Ky. It went to Nashville, Tn, then to Montgomery, Al. From there it went to Memphis, Tn. Then, it went back to Nashville, and finally to the house. Looking at a good old road atlas, one can see that Lawrenceburg, Tn is only about 80 miles south of Nashville. I didn't think I was ever going get that part! Got an update earlier this morning saying that it's out for delivery.... Today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 This one arrived in yesterday’s mail. Ordered on eBay on Thursday, arrived Monday.. not bad! i ordered it because I wanted to see how the custom seats would work in my 1959 Buick. I am surprised that the seats, aside from the custom buttons etc are pretty flat and straight, the front bench has no seat back divide for a 2 door. Almost like doll house furniture. They may make their way into pickups in the future. The kit was sealed and to add insult to injury, a tire was nearly glued to the windshield. Oh well, a parts kit bought cheap.

This should be interesting . Didn't know these were out yet. So it is the same as the Trumpeter kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I believe so. This kit does have the decals to do the blue car. I don't think the original Trumpeter did but i could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could bring a whole new meaning to lint in the paint problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I burned a stick of incense to see how it draws and was impress witht he results. Gonna paint some enamel later to see how it dos with that testors aroma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good way to handle that. The acid test is painting while doing the laundry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike999 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Flea Market Day! No need to post pix, everybody knows what these 2 look like: the latest issues of the AMT '56 Ford and '69 Olds 4-4-2. Both still had the Hobby Lobby price tag on them, with the price blacked out. (I'm guessing $29.99!) One had a trace of a red HL Clearance sticker on the box. The shrink-wrap had been slit all the way around on the bottom of both kits, which made me suspicious. But everything was still sealed inside. The tops of both cars were straight, not crunched or bent, which I've seen on some HL Clearance kits. No other visible damage. The seller priced them low enough to hook me, since both are good parts sources. Especially the Olds. At the same flea market a couple of weeks ago, I picked up an older AMT-ERTL version of that kit.
