Got another motorcycle themed kit on feebay , I really only wanted the trailer and Huskys but The Datsun 620 pickup is kind of cool looking with its small block Chevy engine with headers. The extra gear is nice. If Round 2 still has the tooling for this, they should at least re-release the bikes and trailer with gear.

Never heard of a 1/8th scale Cosmo kit but it looks pretty nice.

Hit up the swap this morning. Pics posted in the photo section if interested. Here's my haul from the show- Got the 2 promo/annuals and Jo-Han Caddy for $10. The Pontiac will probably wind up being a convertible as the top is warped pretty bad.  The Galaxie needs a rear bumper and the Caddy a top boot, but no complaints at what I paid. The Lindberg Phaeton is an absolutely crude mass of styrene of a kit but for $1 the box art is cool!

The Hubley Packard & Corvette were priced too reasonably to pass up as well! Even bought some 1:1 parts which was nice.

I have a part built/stalled project version of that Lindberg Tub sitting in the 'one day I'll get it finished' pile. ?

As far as I could see, it looked like everything was there. We'll see when it gets here. If Round 2 still has this tooling, the time it right to re-release it.

I got a Maico diecast in 1:18 a few minutes ago. As far as I know, this one and the enduro version are the only Maico's that exist in scale.

They were German. Don't know who took them over. Many point to them as the best off road bike ever made.

I can remember back in the mid 80s, they were taken over by some other company and they changed the name to M-Star. After that I kind of lost track of what became of them. I have seen there has been a resurgence as of late.

I had a couple 250 Maico's. Fast and IMO a visual work of art.

A full case of the audi e-trons just arrived along with a monogram 56 chevy, tamiya skyline r32 and another tamiya bug (I never have enough tamiya bugs and this is my 16th)

Picked these up today. Paddy Wagon and The Snake are started. The Camaro is complete. That kit has 2 windshields and 2 sets of taillights.  The Sting Ray and Viper are sealed.

Where did you find that Camaro? I've wanted to find one of those for a long time. I'd like to build the one that I drove back in '75.

I found it on Marketplace. I bought the 6 kits as a package.  It looks complete.

Was there only the one, or did they have more? Would you consider a trade?
