lordairgtar Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 When it rains, it pours!!! Last night at model car club meeting it was rummage night so members brought stuff to sell...and sell they did. I got an Aero Vette and two 1/32nd scale 70 Novas and two 1/32nd scale 76? Novas, all four are Monogram I believe. Also got an unmolested 1/32 scale 65 or 66 Mustang fast back from the old AMT series of 1/32nd kits. I also won a 1/32nd scale Ranchero (reissue of the same series that the Mustang was part of) in the raffle. The Novas are kits that came with engines too. The newer Nova kit is not a very good one as the chassis detail is rather simplistic, but with one of the 70s chassis, I can make the 76 look great underneath.

KeithJackson Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 While some may not call this model related, I do. I was at my local Wal Mart and they had a shopping cart of those little, personal USB powered fans. I figured that some of them would be nice in my work area since I don't have heat or A/C in that room. The best part was that they were only 10 cents each.I am half tempted to check tomorrow to see if they still have some since you can't really go wrong for a dime.

You can use the motor for many different diorama effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Cheap diecast '65 Mustang convertible at the toy show for $10. Mainly bought it because a '65 Stang droptop is "Miss April" on my Mustang calendar at work and I needed it to match. (I have a Musclecar calendar and a Mustang calendar at work, and every month Iry to bring in a diecast to match one or the other picture as close as I can.)

oldcars Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Daddyfink. Who makes the chaparral 2c? Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Ed Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Daddyfink. Who makes the chaparral 2c? RichardWell I'm not Daddyfink, but there were 2 Chaparral 2C kits put out in fair numbers. LS and ARII produced them. Given a Choice go for the LS one as it has the best detailed parts of the 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Nemanic Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 The earlier Chaparral 2s had fiberglass composite chassis, and the 2C was Hall's first aluminum monocoque. The 2C also had a shorter wheelbase and was the first car with the flipper tail. I believe one of the fiberglass cars later got the flipper tail. This is info I remember from reading a book on the Chaparrals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is info I remember from reading a book on the Chaparrals. The easy way to tell the converted 2 from the 2C is the 2 has vents on the rear "fenders" where the 2C's are smooth.

ranma Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I got (2) MPC 1970 Pontiac Bonneville kit's in the Mail today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7000in5th Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Being an IH/Navistar retiree, I like to grab the occasional IH pickup diecast when possible, particularly 1:25 scale. I had heard about Speedway gas stations having a First Gear 1938 IH pickup on sale but kept forgetting to track one down. Then, lo and behold, one arrived in the mail from my brother, he is a Marathon/Speedway contract employee and got a freebee. Bless his soul! Procrastination pays!!

unclescott58 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 The IH truck above is very..... should I say it? .... yes I have to.... cool! I want one.Today in the mail I got a copy of the book The V8 Affair. It was one of a great series of books put out by Ray Miller in the 1970's. This particular book has many great detail photos covering 1932 through 1942 Ford automobiles. Just about anything one could want to know about these cars, is in this book. He did others on other cars. All were top notch and worth seeking out. There are still few additional titles I'm looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtx6970 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 A near perfect example of a clean builtup Johan 1959 Fury kit .Everything to build it box stock is included.

Deathgoblin Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Got a Revellogram 1970 Chevelle SS 454. It's a little gluebombed, but not terrible. The body and interior are in good shape. The chrome is a little rough, but now I know how to fix that. I love Allclad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
om617 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Sweet Fury Bill. Won a 80s Trans Am GTA and 66 Oldsmobile 442 convertible really cheap on Facebook auction. Also got a 6 pack of those clear Tamiya jars for mixing color,and i finally bought a paint cabinet so i can use airbrush. Never used airbrush so expect lots of stupid questions on how to lol.
