The brown box is a Borax 20 Mule Team from around the 60s still sealed inside, and to the left of the General Lee and Daisy's Jeep is the complete first season of the "Dukes of Hazzard" on DVD that he sold along with the General Lee kit. Sweet. Few of those I'd like to have myself. Nice score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man...nice score..! That large scale Pete looks very cool...I think one of those would be sweet to have and build with all the added detailing one could put into one.

I'm not sure how much extra detailing it will get, but the Pete was the only one in the collection I didn't have. All but the Aerodyne are original releases.

89AKurt Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Attended the Phoenix model swap today. First time I ever tried selling stuff, made a whole dollar. Couldn't just sit with the guys at their table (shared). Got an Italeri 250GT California (just because they are scarce), Revell/Monogram Aerovette (just because it's cool, and unusual), Tamiya Tyrrell P34 1:20 (possible Panther 6 conversion if I'm really crazy).

It's something that isn't in my normal wheelhouse though I do like Vettes, and for a price cheaper than a new kit in a hobby shop, I couldn't pass it up!

Those kits can fetch a pretty good price......the tyres usually suck (warpage....bad), but outstanding kits!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Another cobra, sort of. Not for the collection. A pink young kids ride on in pink. Now I just need for my daughter to have a baby girl. I got a killer deal on it and even tho I will have to store it for a long time I just could not pass it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Got something cool this afternoon - original Styline front and rear ends for the AMT '57 Ford. Thanks Larry! Hmm. Wonder how they'd look on a Ranchero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twokidsnosleep Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 This is over Feb and March, and only the car subjects. Every New Year I say I am not buying any more kits..... ya, that is enough for now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) ^^^^ Scott has good taste! And I'm sure he will find something else to get, like Renaissance Tk24/189 detail parts. This has been a subject on the back burner for a long time, doing a replica of the '57 Chevy station wagon I owned. I have 3 different '57 kits, was daunted about converting a Nomad into the lowly family truckster. Rick Hainline posted From the Class of '57 which includes what I wanted, asked where he got his, and of course evilBay. Love this forum!

cobraman Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 This came in the mail yesterday. 1978 Mustang King Cobra. Had to buy this as I had purchased a new one back in 1978. I happened to be at a Ford dealer looking for my next ride and one of these were on the transport truck rolling up as I was there. I was making the deal as they were unloading it. Went back the next day an picked it up. Not really a fast car as it really was just an appearance package. 302 with an auto trans. Still it was a pretty cool car at the time IMO.

Now buying PE and detail sets are NOT buying kits, ya?! Same as tools. Tools do not count as new kits. Wife just gave me S for the credit card charges so far this year...the old excuse "I could spend it on booze, chicks and drugs" only works so many times PS thanks for that info, bookmarked the link Edited March 27, 2018 by Twokidsnosleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was dubbed "The Rocket" by my family and a perfect description...went like hell in a straight line but couldn't turn and had no brakes. Maybe we needed a parachute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminder for newer modelers/members: in a dusty old shop or corner of the internet, you might find the Accurate Miniatures Corvette Grand Sport in a Revell box (shown below). In 2012 Revell bought the remaining stock of Accurate Miniatures Grand Sport kits, and released them in their own box. The only change from the AM kit was new decals that Revell also created. The Revell kit still has the nice photo-etch sheet and all the other AM parts. The inner plastic bag even still says "Accurate Miniatures." I think the original retail price for the Revell kit was around $20, a real bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Actually yesterday but finished installing it today. A new motor for my mini lathe. The old one had started smoking . It was something like 40 years old and had powered my bench grinder for years. I had hooked it up to the lathe as it had the exact specs required. If this one lasts as long, it should be my last.
