Exotics_Builder Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 bingo, suppose to make bright reds pop, from what I have read Ferrai uses a pink primer under their bright reds. I ordered some from seal model but it is going to take 2 months to get here. Would like to find a closer source if possible. Cannot find anything stateside yet.Seal models and it took almost two months. Have not found a USA source. Tamiya America or Tower Hobbies never seem to have yet in stock.
snacktruck67 Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Seal models and it took almost two months. Have not found a USA source. Tamiya America or Tower Hobbies never seem to have yet in stock. If you are talking about Tamiya's Pink Primer coming from China, yea it takes forever. I have a brand new never opened can of that very primer right here. I really don't think I will be using it, if you are interested.

72 Charger Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 Just got my order from Model Huas a Perfect 1957 Mercury Turnpiker . Top marks to the team I'm very impressed with it . Its just a shame the end is getting closer
ChrisBcritter Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Picked up the Scale Stars Avanti at Hobby Lobby on its second and final reduction for five bucks; they also have one Lindberg 1/16 Bull Horn T-bucket left, final discount $13.76 if anyone is looking for it... also got a set of Revell no-name blackwall bias-plys from the '65 Chevy kit for my '64 Caddy rebuild.
Daddyfink Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Score from the 2016 San Diego IPMS Model Expo. The HK Models 1/32 B-25 Mitchell and Monogram 37 Ford I won at the raffle! The rest was wheelin' and Dealin'!

Snake45 Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Monthly toy show. Bought something I didn't even know existed--a 1/24 '69 Mustang Boss 302 diecast. Yes, '69, not '70. The front end isn't perfect (or as good as the original AMT annual), but it looks WAY better than the Revell backbirth kit. It's all dolled up like a Trams-Am racer in the colors of Federated Auto Parts, but still, I thought it was well worth the $20 asking price. I've already painted the Torq-Thrust wheels and the grill black, and it's shelf-ready. That's some kind of record for me.
Mark Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Mark,Yes it's a cool van parts package I've never seen before. Hopefully an image shows up this time.... I picked one of these up recently on eBay. I had seen one for sale at a show recently, but didn't buy that one because it was pricey and had been picked over (looked like the leftovers after someone had used it for a project). There is also a pickup pack that shares a couple of parts trees with the van pack. I've had the pickup parts pack since maybe a couple of years after they were released. I remember seeing these in a store, only once, when they were new. I don't think too many department stores carried these because they were parts only and not a complete vehicle. The parts listing on the box for the van pack includes fender flares for both Chevy and Dodge vans, however only one set is included. Checking the packs against one another, and against the description of the parts included that is printed on each box, I think they screwed up and got some of the parts switched between the two packs.
Harry Joy Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 I found a couple of dealer promos today while antiquing with my wife:
Daddyfink Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 I wouldn't mind taking the B-25 off your hands if say...you don't want it. Yes, quite a few folks at the show made some very tempting offers, but, I have wanted one for a while, along with the B-17, so this one is a keeper! But thanks for asking!
The70judgeman Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Yes, quite a few folks at the show made some very tempting offers, but, I have wanted one for a while, along with the B-17, so this one is a keeper! But thanks for asking! I don't blame you! They are excellent and very detailed kits. Just very pricey. Nice raffle win though.
Roadrunner Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Yes, quite a few folks at the show made some very tempting offers, but, I have wanted one for a while, along with the B-17, so this one is a keeper! But thanks for asking! It's supposed to be a very nice kit too. I've seen several built up on another site, and they can look just great.
1930fordpickup Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 I found a couple of dealer promos today while antiquing with my wife: Nice find with these. I think that color on the 63 Bird must have been very popular as that is the color I see for sale most often. Maybe that is the color people do not like.
Harry Joy Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Nice find with these. I think that color on the 63 Bird must have been very popular as that is the color I see for sale most often. Maybe that is the color people do not like. The T-Bird set me back all of 10 dollars. That is probably because the kit was the victim of a sloppy house painter. You can see a bit of it in the picture, but it had paint splattered on several areas. I've spent the last couple of hours cleaning it up, and it is coming out quite nicely. This is the first time I've seen two promos like this, although I know they aren't uncommon. The Chevy doubles as a bank, with the words "To help you save for a rainy day, or help you buy your new Chevrolet" on the slot on the bottom, and "Shadow Gray" on top. It was mine for $20. The Ford has an entire sales pitch on the bottom. I'm digging it quite a lot.I'm not going to try to clean up the Chevy. It is a little fragile. Edited June 6, 2016 by Harry Joy
1930fordpickup Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Harry that is a good buy on the bird. Get out the polishing compound and go to work.

I used them when they were new to make my own custom vans and pickups with...our local drug store carried model kits and sold them there too. I miss those good old days with the 70s Dodge kits I used them on.

Snake45 Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 I agree on that bullet Bird. Fabulous find at a fabulous price! These old promos can look great with the plastic polished out. I do them that way any chance I get.
StevenGuthmiller Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Just got it today. She's a real mess, but I only bought it for the wheel covers, tail lights, some interior parts & possibly the front bumper. Anything that's left is up for the asking. Here's a perfect example of what happens to these old promos over time. Steve
