Another one that I'm looking forward to getting in my hands. I'm not sure why they listed it as "Complete Sealed" and then in their comments and pictures it's opened and "may be missing parts". From the pictures though it looks to be complete. Is the Revell version good? I have several other Zs by makers, but not one of those. Wheels look good.

I'm not sure. I have only had one other Z kit. It was the stock '81 (I believe it was). I don't have this one in hand yet. It looks to be the same as the BRE kit but with different decals. BTW, there was a sealed BRE kit that went for $12 just an hour later. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwolf Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I got a couple things I'd been wanting... Luckily they got delivered while the wife wasn't looking. I got this unbuilt Jo-Han Plymouth Fury in it's box for about the price of a new kit. I built this '62 Plymouth as a kid and wanted to try it again (and not paint the exhaust orange and the firewall red and the etc etc). The seller thought it may have been a resin repro, and I thought it may have been also at first, but Its' not; there's just a good bit of flash on some of the parts. As a Model A nut, I was psyched to find this open, but complete kit for less than $100 + free shipping. Yes, I'm going to build it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Came home to find my recently purchased AMX waiting for me. Just like it looked in the pics. An older built-up in a semi dismantled state but completely restorable. I'm jazzed about having this. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodent Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Dropped by the LHS today and they had the Chevelle. Grabbed the trailer while I was at it, and some Tamiya paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straightliner59 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I didn't get this, today. I've had it for quite some time. I decided to post it, now, for two reasons: One, I found it on Ebay, for a dollar, shipping included. So, it's dirt cheap. Two, I got it down to use it, yesterday. I hadn't put alcohol in it, for at least two months, and I didn't fill it, then. Yesterday, it still had alcohol in it. Just thought I'd pass it along. It's cheap, and good!

They suggest both the KW and Pete as suitable to pull it. I suppose that you would have to slide the 5th wheel back most of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksnow Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Went to the local shop for a bottle of satin black and came home with the AMT/Round 2 1953 Ford Pickup kit, 3 in 1. Going to guild it as a shop truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it to stretch sprue, and also, to heat the ends of styrene rod, to make things that need a little ball on the end, or, as I will use it next, to make the body for some globe valves, since I have handles for them, but, no valves. It also works well for heat-forming sheet over a carved buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
