Truck Kits You've Scored Recently

[Superpeterbilt]

Hey guys, some of us have shown off our collections on display and unbuilt kits. I think it would be cool to show off kits as we aquire them. Im starting a thread to post a pic of the kit, in the box or an old built up, and a little info on where it came from. No need to post prices, just showing whats out there. I like buying old built ups as much as unbuilt kits. Theres always a story with a built up. Who knows, maybe some of us are bidding on the same kits.

Ill go first, heres a few ebay grabs from the last few weeks. I can never have too many of these.

Heres two kits I grabbed from the show this past saturday. This was literally the only two truck related kits in a sea of airplanes and tanks. The IH is rare, and I dont have this issue of the dozer.

Heres a few more ebay grabs.

Ill probably cut the KW down to a daycab. As for the trailer, its just going in my stash for now.

Heres a first gear Mack B61. I like grabbing these when I can. I buy them for the wrecker bodies, then rebuild the truck. I grind off all of mounting tabs, and glue it together.

I finally broke down and got the re-issued California Hauler,started drawing out some plans and designs and think I may add the chrome Mercury sleeper when it comes out?...................................Mark

[Petetrucker07]

[Superpeterbilt]

Theres nothing cooler!

man terry, you've got a small fortune in those autocar kits, especially coming from ebay!

[tbill]

nothing real recent, but here are a few of my snags so far this year,

[Superpeterbilt]

man terry, you've got a small fortune in those autocar kits, especially coming from ebay!

I keep it at a reasonable price. I have a rule, if its below my price I grab it. If its a dollar above, Ive got plenty of them already. Let someone else have it. Sometimes one slips by that no one sees........

[Superpeterbilt]

That is a good swoop Tom. There are some great kits there.

[tbill]

Terry, I usually show restraint when 'shopping', most of those kits were bought quite reasonably.

the score of the bunch was the prestige auto hauler kit, [truck, trailer and both cars, complete minus decals], landed that one for $150 [that included shipping cost], and no, it wasn't an e-bay purchase, just right place/time kinda thing.

I do like it when an e-bay item 'slips thru the radar', have caught some real good buys on things.

Got a nice little score/ surprise. The wife came home with another freightshaker cabover today for me.

you gotta love it when the wife starts bringing home kits

[Petetrucker07]

Yeah buddy.

[Superpeterbilt]

Clayton, just a suggestion, It would be cool if you cut one of those cabovers to a daycab and hitch it to that gravel trailer.

[Petetrucker07]

That thought has crossed my mind. For that trailer and just as a bobtail.

Tomorrow im gettin a revell snap pete in trade for finishing my buddies cabover freightshaker. So theres a great score, free. Just a little of my time.

If my wife came home with a model I would be at the wrong house.

[Petetrucker07]

I couldnt believe it myself. I said to her, you did what?

[scummy]

I got the AMT coe kenny with torsion bar suspention from ebay usa .
