A few odds and ends which have recently arrived:

I like these basic Monogram kits, despite the low parts count they build up nicely. Wire wheels are not intended for the TR7....

Been after a Celica Liftback for a while. Not sure if I'll build mine as per the box art, as usual it's essentially a road car kit with extra parts in the box. Bumpers are unchromed.

First used the 'chrome' Gundam Marker at the weekend. Not a replacement for BMF, but easier to apply in some circumstances - I did some deeply recessed headlight bowls and they look really good.

I was pleased to finally get this version of the RX-7, as I already have a couple of the earlier version. This one seems to be an older release and unusually for Tamiya it has an accessory wheel set included.

I want to combine the circuit racing parts of the Escort with the rally car kit (which has different arches) to create a loose replica of a National Hot Rod short oval racer, like this:

Ford Escort Mk2 Classic Hot Rod

Ouch is right!  I am going to our local HL Thursday (that’s when the new stock comes in) so it will be interesting to see the new kit pricing.

Man, you scored a Supra!   Nice kits you bought..

Thanks. I eyed it last week but didn't want to pay the price knowing this week would be 40% off...

The Foose truck I've kinda wanted for a while but it was basically impulse. 

The Nova just has too many good usable parts to pass up for like $13 if you get nothing from it but the chassis and the wheels/tires you are money ahead in my book.

Local Hobby Lobby was restocked with some new stuff, on a 40% off week, but I managed to resist the urge to buy any new kits.  Settled for a chrome Gundam marker, since I've been wanting to try it out.  

Hard to pass on the reissued Supra, but I have an original issue in the stash.  Also considered grabbing another prostreet Nova, but I have two already, in addition to the engine stands and blocks I saved from earlier ones I had.
