Nazz Posted November 22, 2020 I found a Vintage fighter series 1/24 scale P-40 Warhawk. It was in our local hobby store! The kit has been out of production for years and I don't think there are many around. It is the only P-40 in this large scale. I'm thinking "flying tigers" !

Builds a stock Wallis Autogyro or the James Bond version with guns and rockets. This one came today. On-topic for cars, off-topic for scale. MiniArt, from the Ukraine, has done a bunch of Mercedes 170v kits in all different configurations: WWII military staff cars, civilian cars complete with passengers and luggage. And this one, the 170v sedan delivery or "Lieferwagen." All 3 doors open and it includes decals for the medical vehicle on the boxtop, a camouflaged truck, or a German Reichspost delivery truck. The roof rack is photo-etched metal. These kits are insanely detailed, with engines and chassis that are complete right down to separate coil springs, etc. Heller did a 1/24 Lieferwagen, but I think it was last re-issued around 2006.

unclescott58 Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) Here's one I've wanted for a while. Not an easy one to track down. But, as of this afternoon's mail, I have one. Edited December 26, 2020 by unclescott58 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roadrunner Posted January 13 I've acquired quite a few new kits since I last posted, so I'll begin with this big ol' beast, one of many that I've grabbed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roadrunner Posted January 14 4 hours ago, bismarck said: Man, at 1/16 scale, that Tiger is gonna be a monster!! It is. Certainly not a great kit, but acceptable, at least for the reasonable price. I'm hoping that the new Trumpeter kit will be far nicer. If so, I'll sell this one off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Payne Posted January 14 Didn't get it today, but recently swapped for a built PT-109. The hull scales out at about 28' in 1/25th scale- plan to use this for a wood hulled cruiser with a v-16 engine, built in 1920's-1930's style. Lots of reference photos on line, some real inspiration there! Also have a Galaxy trailer I picked up years ago and never got inspired to build. Think I will convert it into a boat trailer. Maybe a 1937 Ford pickup as a tow vehicle. I have already disassembled the boat, the hull and deck separated very easily with no damage at all. Some of the deck details are molded in relief so I filled the underside recesses with 2 part epoxy. Cedar cigar wrapping for the hull and deck, also some leftover wood for trim and structure as needed. Need another project like a hole in the head, but this one is giving me the itch!

steveracer Posted January 14 Well it does require some assembly... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HomerS Posted February 18 For $3, I couldn't pass it up. Appears to be sealed/complete inside Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unclescott58 Posted Saturday at 08:19 PM This one takes the cake. I've now seen everything. It was too strange to pass up. I found this at a local hobby store a few hours ago. At first I thought, "why?" But, the more I looked at it, the more I thought I had to buy it. It's going to be fun explaining this to people when they see it!
