ZTony8 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I went to the Kalamazoo toy show yesterday for some styrene therapy and picked up a resin '50 Olds sedan delivery body, an Airfix boxed Peugeot 206WRC rally car, a Revell '69 Dart, a Porsche 962 and a Toyota 88 C by Hasegawa. I also found some wood grain that applies like BMF. That should be interesting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! I like the Norm Nelson decals!!! Bobby Unser drove a Chris Vallo purple Road Runner to a win at the Milwaukee Mile back in the day if I remember correctly. That was the first of the "mystery" money men that I can ever remember in racing. Now it seems pretty common to get funny munny in racing these days!

Bill Eh? Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) I'm a self-professed Kijiji addict. I found this for a bargain price and it is brand new. This was the first AB that I started spraying with. Edited November 28, 2022 by Bill Eh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewetwo Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 These arrived today. And the price for the kits and postage we really cheap. Each kit was $23 except the Firebird was $24. Postage was $12.59. A bargain I think. Ordered them on Friday and they arrived today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerslide is doing three variants (on one sheet) of the CV Roadrunner as well as the red Petty Enterprises #99 one driven by Fred Lorenson in January.

junkyardjeff Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Picked up the early 60s Monogram 36 Ford kit off eBay today,it's unbuilt and open and probably missing parts but will use parts off the later kits to build. I bought it hoping there will be some parts I could use on the 34 unbuilt kit that I want to use only all 60s on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LL3 Model Worx Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I got one of these today off ebay... Pretty sure it's a motorized kit. But it looks like it could be very nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyser Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 The body is really nice, prob won’t need paint. Tilt/Marui has great Pantera, best ever done, and BMW 3.5 CSL. Lots of others. Nice find. Make great curbside, but has under hood details. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea a Pantera is on my procurement list... haven't decided wich one... I don't think any were produced as full detail kits as far as I know... As for the Lambo, I'm considering wanting to reproduce this. that is just a really weird combination of sexy and tough... one of my favorite looking vehicles from the rear ever! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyser Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) That kit makes a great Jota like that. Their Pantera has best body and wheels ever. I’ve got all of them, they did 1:24 Ferrari 312T, Tyrell 007, and McLaren M24, really great kits. Ignore motorized stuff. They look great. Wish molds would appear, but well over 20y since last seen. I’d not bother with opening everything up. Have fun. Hasegawa makes a nice Jota too. But I like body on Tilt better.

Mike C. Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Just picked up one of these on feebay. Sealed kit! Sure, these are curbside, snap kits, but the are 1/25 and will work with the bin full of parts from the deserter kit alone and are really good looking when finished. I have an Olson bros. winch bumper set that will fit (not too sure about the future of that co.). Already have a set of Fireball tires in the bin picked out for this one. I'm thinking the 1/25 wheels from the Deserter kit will look nice with this kit. Should be nice on the shelf in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brudda Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 My friend Todd brought this by today. I opened it up and the tires are fantastic. They must be the amt parts pack tires that I used on my 67 camaro. Seems like a good kit. I will build it and see which kit I like better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Junkman Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Not much but I did get a really neat decal sheet for the Chaparral 2D from Starfighter Decals. https://www.starfighter-decals.com/2406-texas-roadrunners-2d-24062.html It will go well with my two Monogram kits and the Fujimi one (which I believe is a repop from the Modeler's kit.

I built one several years back. Not the best work on my end but I was just getting back into it at the time. Pictures are terrible sorry.
