Another one for my Atlantis collection - eventually I’d like to build one of each of their car and bike kits I think:

I’m excited to dig into this one (but I’d also kinda like to do their kits in chronological order of release, which means I’m starting with the Cadillac and a couple of the Tom Daniel kits before I get to this…)

Let me guess, it’s a garbage kit?

Jim I think this is the old Revell kit that has everything open.  Not a great kit just a hard one to get right. You can handle it.

See you got these early.  I'm DEF getting one of these.  Beautifully detailed sublime kit! 

Yeah been available in Australia at various online retailers for a couple weeks, but I waited for BNA Model World to have them in stock.

Its a high quality and detailed kit for sure, really looking forward to building them.

Right on both counts!

Guess we'll see!  I'll try my best!  Nothing some patience and perseverance can't take care of, hopefully...

No it's a great kit for testing tools, paint reactions, and weathering on.

Local Hobby Shop had one of their "Jumble Sales" over the weekend. Which usually means a bunch of dusty old stock out of the back and some kits out of the owner's personal collection. So this is now officially the most expensive piece of styrene I own (although I have a few resin pieces that have cost more). All there and untouched...

Also grabbed some more mundane items.

No, but the one i had i kept to use as test parts because mine the body was warped a little and dents all over the body.  The main parts weren't any better and just wasn't worth wasting materials on let alone expensive paint.  I had got this one in its place. Not my pic, but much better kit as far as quality goes. To many options out there to settle for less so the virtue of time does not apply here for me, and that's just my opinion.

Yeah there is a few folks on ebay selling them right now.  I ordered one for $39 free ship.

I wonder why the snowperson seems so happy to see the plow arrive?

I would like to see one of these built. I don’t think anything is wrong with it.

Its ESCI tooling from the very early 80s, I would say it leans more towards the not great side.

Got the last of my November, motorcycle mania holy grails. Another one coming from Japan so may take a while to get here.

 

[niteowl7710]

November pre-orders were in at HLJ, so I deported the kits to my front door.

Finally, the Walmart near me has models. I limited myself to these three, for now.
