Has anybody bought one of these kits? If so, How do you like what is in the box?

Great! Any news on the 1/24 versions?

I used to buy a lot from eBay. I always had a separate credit card for purchases. That way we were protected from them getting our 'Main' account. But, that was about 10 years ago, so things may have changed. As others said, watch the vendors. If you have any doubts, you could always post a link to the auction in question to see if anybody here has dealt with the Seller. Getting Good Deals on eBay is a matter, of Patience, Timing & Luck. Back when I was buying stuff every month, and winning 18-35 auctions a month, I won about 25% of the bids I placed. So, If you are bidding on only one or two auctions, don't be surprised if you don't win them often. I'm not saying bid lots of times. I'm just saying that winning bids is a percentage game, and often the only way to substantially change the odds is to bid Higher than you may be comfortable with. So, I don't recommend bidding more than feel like you can spend. Since your past comments about your most wanted kits, seem to indicate that you really want some rare and potentially very spendy kits, patience will be your best tactic. You may bid and lose 7 or 8 times before you get the grail you want, at a price you can afford. Don't get discouraged. Play "eBay Grail Hunting" as a Video Game, rather than taking it too seriously, and you may be better off. Good Luck.

Not really. There wasn't much on the Fiero that was chromed in real life. Lots of black painted trim, though. I think in this instance, it works.

Third day of over 100 Deg heat. Supposed to cool down to 98 for the Fourth, and be back to 102-104 by Monday. I am running the A/C for 10-11 hours a day. 11am-10pm.

You mean, That's it!!! A single build version kit with no options, with a retail near 40.00 bucks? No Alternative Wheels, or Engine parts. I did not know 1990's Mustang Cobras are That popular..... But, I'll be the first to admit that I am out of touch on some modern trends. I just don't see this moving well. Hopefully I am wrong.

I know. And some of those parts are still in the kit.

That was really cool! Thanks for sharing.

Looks good so far. I like the stance you have.

You have a great eye for the rust damage. It looks great!

You are correct, Steve. I had not looked that close until you mentioned it.

Round2 Cat Bulldozer and Lowboy trailer. Huge Box! But, I need to get in touch with Round2. The Decals, are misprinted, right out of the box. Makes me sad. Also, I if there were ever two kits that don't need Chrome Plated parts, these two are them. Round2, please don't chrome the Cat Dozer parts next time out.

The scoops will not be add-ons. On the '65 Merc, the 'Nostrils' in the hood are molded open, and it is all one piece. I expect that the '64 hood will be similar.

That fella knows his around Both a Sawzall and a Mig Welder. Has a heck of a boneyard too.

Here is the Jeep Model I want. XJ001

Now, I'm in. That is the Comet I want.

This is just awesome! Looks like a surplus Park Ranger's truck. You got all the right details on this build. Good Show.

Well, The '63 Nova Wagon, the '68 Coronet Twins, the '64 Chevy Malibu SS were all just Wishlist Items at some point too. The wagon especially seemed to be a kit that few were visibly clamoring for. Yet, it seems to be a sales Success with 3 hits off the tool so far. I think the '74 Charger has at least as good a chance as the Nova Wagon. Besides, MOPAR Fans are Just That. Fans! So there is some built in demand already. We'll just have to wait and see.

You and me both, Dave!

The Composer who gave Mission Impossible and Bullit, has passed on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lalo_Schifrin I'm sad. I liked so much of his work. His compositions were the music of so much of my youth.

To get back on track... I really just want the Super Charger kit, back with all the parts left in the tool, and new tires and decals. That Would satisfy me, and many, many others.

But, on that little Nissan, they are exactly what is wanted. Great Use of the Tire!

Good for you, Scott. Enjoy the build.

Awesome Build! The Green over White Paint, gives it a distinguished look. Good Show.

Age! My left Hip, right Knee and both shoulders, are all hurting. And I've done nothing to inflame them. Time for more exercise and stretching.
