lovin' it!

from what ive seen Hobby Lobby has way more selection of kits and tools /supplies than Michaels. The local Michaels in my area had empty racks where testors paints should have been and a slim selection of kits. I am on the mailing list though and when i get 50 or 60 percent off coupons I look for kits like the Revell Jeep Rubicon and buy them for gifts or parts etc.

I don't care what it says on the back IT'S NOT MINE!

nice. I really like the weathering on the bed floor

though sometimes they have 50% off coupons which are good on the few models they have. But I did notice today that they have not restocked any Testors paints. the racks were almost empty. too bad. I dont live close to any hobby shops

cool that was fun

nice ! I wish I had seen this before my last visit to hobby lobby!

Found this in a 1959 Mechanix Illustrated. I will be posting others as I scan them.

My brother used to build "white" models like that. the only good thing is when i inherited them I didnt have to strip any paint off them!

nice work.. time for me to go shopping

Just got the BMW 2002 I ordered from NNl East . Thank you and it is a very nice product. pretty good service coming all the way from Finland.

I just grabbed those wheels from revells jeep . they were the first i could grab. I definitely like the wheel flares and a lift. But I will definitely be trying different wheelsets on this one. These vehicles look great bone stock or with mild to wild lifts, I have even seen one smoothed and lowered! I think I have some old Satco desert dogs or super swampers that might look better.

You mean like this?! These look so good and there are so many variations to build.

I just got my new Revell Bronco. Way sooner than I expected. Couldnt help but throw some wheels under it .

That is beautiful

1971 BMW 2002

I swear the coffee tastes better out of this cup!

I decided to freshen this one up. A little history is in order though. My older brother built this circa 1970 . He ultimately gave me all his built models. This was metallic green and built as the "drag " version. I remember a nose high stance and skinny tires up front , and a parachute glued to the rear bumper. I repainted it several times. Many coats of shiny Testors spray paint. Many many coats! Finally in 1994 or so I had learned a little more and had an airbrush, so I stripped it down to bare plastic and repaired the broken windshield frame. I rebuilt it using the chassis from a hurst olds kit. I used some Tamiya wheels and tires. I was aiming for a pro Touring look. There were a few flawsthough. so after 23 years Gave it a little freshening up. New wheels and tires basically and a little more poishing.

Thanks guys! I want to get more of those wheels.

Im trying to find out the name of the vendor at NNL East that was at the end of the same row as Don Yost. They had some racks with wheels and some resin delivery vans. I forgot to get his flyer or card. Thanks.

I think gerald wingrove made a miniature one?

In the end , if someone will buy it , someone will sell it. If no one will pay the price , then the seller is forced to reconsider his selling strategy. However , no matter how irritating it is to see a complete vintage kit broken down into parts and sold piece by piece , someone will buy parts and the seller will keep selling. Places like Ebay are wonderful in that they get stuff onto the market that we would otherwise never see , but a bigger audience also allows for more people who are willing to pay more.

A beautiful build of one of the most beeutiful cars ever built. Nice job

Try searching this forum there is a thread. I found it by googling the subject. The Scout II was produced in different variants from 1971 to 1980

250 + but the nice thing is now I dont have to buy anything when I want to build!
