  1. Got the blue/orange/yellow Gullwing kit from an estate. I've had the later release for some time, so know it's the typical AMT quality that pales when compared to the Tamiya kit. But I *had to* get this early version because it's just too cool! Comes with a cardboard diorama display, don't think there is a driver figure. The bigger box version has a chrome tree of trophies. I don't see any on eBay, so have to ask, is this a rare kit? Too bad some of the plastic wrap is ripped off.
  2. Welcome! I'm looking at getting one of his Auto Union race cars. Thought I was done buying models.
  3. That's pretty neat, for a Diablo. Seems like these are the black sheep for Lamborghini, so anything modified is a blessing. I sold the Italeri kit that I had, knew I would never build it, so good job for completing this!
  4. Now I see the grill spacing, and fairing are different, so never mind.
  5. the Hit-and-miss engine
  6. [...] This will help clear some space and fund more paint, more tools and more Corvette and Ferrari kits I'll never get to build [] Yea, that sounds like an awesome excuse, I'm with you! I've been wondering about this too, thanks for asking. I've sold and bought off the Facebook Model Car Marketplace, so far so good. I've made educated guesses on shipping, sometimes I'm shocked how much it is. I also prefer PayPal, sometimes do the 'friend' to avoid the fee.
  7. This is the kind of question, can I slay a dragon with Sawsall? Depends on the hole size, tiny holes you're screwed. Ace-Garageguy knows what he's talking about. This is when a laser would be nice. Keeping an eye on this topic.
  8. Revell, I understand your frustration, but you whipped it into shape, and FINISHED! I have a WIP in a coma, the Hasegawa kit, *had to* cut open the doors. This kit come with a complete engine?
  9. Every entry is extremely well done. The Kaiser Darrin is a favorite, good to see the classics. Glad I don't build drag or street rods, holy cow.
  10. ^^^ Couldn't have said it better myself!
  11. It's alright, I added the MFH Lusso since then, and hope to track down some other old subject models. Now *that* is a problem, finding out about kits such as made by Fernando Pinto Models, which I added to my faved list on Fakebook.
  12. I acquired this kit, so glad to see someone built it. Very nice job!
  13. GAVE YOU?!?! I did the Tyrell 6 wheel and Ferrari Niki Lauda when I was a teen, always loved the 934. Your wife is a keeper! Cool subject too.
  14. For example, I laid out this category just to get an idea of what I have. I have a running list too, that I update almost monthly now. It does become a problem if I don't do that, because I can't see all my kits due to stacking in front of other piles. *That* is a problem.
  15. After I go on a buying bing, have to re-organize. Don't think that's a *problem*, do you?
  16. I recently acquired one of those from an estate, and just looked at eBay to see .... ok ..... glad I snagged it. I happened to have filed a few pages from old catalogs, been looking for : Testors - Sportstar resin kit 473, don't think they got around to producing it, about the time Boyd died. Airfix - Maserati Boomerang Heller - Bugatti T50 1931Jaguar E Type coupe Otaki - Lamborghini Cheetah I'm not asking for much.
  17. I've had the crazy idea of kitbashing a Fujimi 356 Speedster with a 911 Turbo, so this is done for real?
  18. for Preppers, stashing
  19. Well, if you were to build that, wouldn't need to worry about a perfect shiny paint job.
