Captain Spaulding Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 That's a great stash Carmak, lots of good ones in there. Is the Movin on Kenworth all there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I agree. A good haul. Some fun stuff in there. Even that blue Lindberg roadster. A very simple, but, in my opinion, kool looking kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeeBee Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 One of my "Go to" suppliers of AMT kits here in the UK have just had these delivered, they only had 2 left, it was rude just to buy the one..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I got a hell of a surprise today, a box of paint from Jameston at Scalefinishes, I am just speechless. He sent me one his mystery paint boxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, you're lucky I bought one of the older issues of this kit, otherwise I'd be having words with you buying the last two! xD Be interesting to see the differences between the Lindberg and the new AMT release.

I compared it with a Lindberg one and besides the box, the differences seem to be the instruction sheet (redone in AMT style) and the decal sheet (expanded in the AMT version, but with some missing).

I was looking on Scalemates site, I might be wrong, did the mould start out as a Jo-Han in the 60's? Always interesting knowing the history and changes of a kit.

Danno Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 What did I get today? Two new pearls of infinite truth for my proverbial necklace of wisdom: " . . . useless, incorrect, but endlessly rebleated gibberish . . .
