Nice haul, I am envious of that fine looking tan sedan body.

 

Thanks. It feels like it may be resin.

Looks like a great find. I think I see a Palmer Thunderbird in that collection. 🙂

 

 

Thanks. Yes it is!

Looks like you have some fun ahead of you!  I really enjoy going through a box of items such as you have shown us...like a box of candy.  👌

Joe

I agree. It's something I really enjoy too. I've already found a few surprises, like a "Bestmodelcarparts" resin Bronco hood and air cleaner conversion.

Is that the modern version of “Car 54” in the center there??

Lol. Maybe. It's a diecast with lightbar(still in the package).

Made a trade with a great guy on FB and ended up with all of this. A mix of kit parts and a few resin pieces. The box that came was a printer paper box 5 lbs full!! Haven't even had time to go through it all.

My first paint order from Burbank House of Hobbies .  This is about half the paint I need for the Tamiya 1/32 P 51 Mustang .  This going by the call outs on the instructions .

I post pictures of my various model projects on a non-related board I hang out on.  A member there asked if I was interested in "some old models" and of course I said "Sure!"  

I got a box today with these 4 variations on the classic Willys.  I've often looked at a Willys kit but never pulled the trigger.  No excuse now!

I took a quick look through the boxes.  All have been opened, two are missing engines/frames/suspension bits but have some cherry body and interior pieces.

The other two appear to be pretty complete and I have two sets of pickup options to work with, several sets of my favorite "bean slot" mags and a couple of bitchin' sets of slicks!

I'll have to see if I can find a nice Hemi engine package and build another gasser.

I'm getting to the point where I don't 'need' too many more complete kits, but wheel sets and parts to work with what I already have will always be useful:

The Beretta isn't complete, seems like someone had enough out of it to build a slammer, but the remains should be sufficient to give something else the Pro Street treatment.

The Nissan Laurel by Fujimi was bought complete with the intention of restoring/modifying, but it's so nicely done I've just put it straight into the cabinet. I may lower it and fit some different wheels at some point, but I don't need to do much else on it.
