Straightliner59 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 It won't arrive until later in the week, but I took the plunge on a compound slide for my Sherline lathe. I've been wanting one, for some time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Eh? Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 It has been only two days since my purchases at the Toronto Model Car Show and Contest, and Kijiji has bitten. I never thought I would see the day when I would say that $25 was a good price for a sealed kit, but here we are. I bought the Monogram Olds Aerotech and the Porsche 904 kits for that price.

ewetwo Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 2 hours ago, Mark said: Found these two goodies at the Three Rivers show yesterday. The Pontiac is the nicest one I have ever seen, period. It has a couple of peculiar modifications: the chrome tach in place of the lower grille filler piece, and the Moon discs on the rear only. There was a pair of homemade fender skirts on when I bought it, they appear to have been cut from some large flat piece from the same kit, maybe a tonneau cover for the rear seat area. Those were attached with tiny tabs of scrap plastic, one for each skirt. They practically fell off. There were side pipes at one time but they were cemented only at the chassis end, not to the floor pan or body. I fixed one of these that had the original kit skirts, those butt up against the side trim and the cement usually does some damage. This one is way nicer, but I'll probably keep both. The Falcon is a Craftsman kit that was just snapped together with no alterations. I have wanted to put a hardtop on one. Not this one...other than an unbuilt one, this is now "best" and the couple others I have will move down a notch. They are really nice, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyser Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Nice hit Ray. Wish someone would do a 47, and a 26R with flares and motor. Gunze long gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Never really thought about doing one of these but a show I watch ( Wheeler Dealers ) fixed up one and I decided to get a kit. Ordered it from Burbank House of Hobbies and as usual I had it pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box looks huge compared to the tamiya version lol. It's 1/24th. The box is so big because they cast the body as a one piece unit. It's a curbside and is another one of Fujimi's mediocre new tools (Pantera, Esprit, etc) that make nice enough shelf models, but leave a lot to be desired. In Fujimi's defense, when they made this kit the Tamiya Europa had been OOP for quite awhile, but if you already have a Tamiya kit - or now that the Tamiya kit has been reissued - there's no real reason to pick this one up. Unless you just really like Europas. Edited September 28, 2022 by niteowl7710 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyser Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 New tool of S2🤦🏻♂️. S1 could do a 47 as well. Marui Pantera looks great. Haven’t seen Pantera despite out for few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Went to the 3 Rivers Auto Modelers show in Pittsburgh over the weekend. I have too many kits as it is so I wasn't looking for anything. Grabbed a couple of OOP SJR Oldsmobiles. Also at the show, much to my besmusement I got a 3rd Place for my recently completed NuNu BMW 320i. Took it just to show as it's the first thing Ive drug across to a finish since 2019. It's not particularly great in my own eyes, and I wouldn't have placed it over other builds in the class, but any given Sunday and all of that. Also in the mail this morning the 3 newest sheets (which are some months old at this point) from RacingDecals43. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst part of the MPC is the poorly proportioned chrome headlights, and we all know the worst part of the Revell notchback is the roof. Mashing the two into an LX fastback should eliminate the worst of each. Haven't gotten the two together to see if they would actually play nice with each other, though.

Richard Bartrop Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 These arrived in the mail today. The grille is going into a more accurate replica of the Odbert '36 Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Spotted these kits at the auction of the Days Gone By museum in Tennessee last month. I took a GIANT leap of faith and put in some pretty low bids, and won them all today. Now to see if the kits are complete, or complete junk (well I know the Palmer Karmann Ghia kit is complete junk, anyway). Fingers crossed! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
