  1. You touch on the collectible aspect that is annoying many of us. I got an Aerovette kit that was still wrapped, then read how tires tend to melt the unwrapped windows, so I opened it and sure as ****, back window with deep circle melt mark. So for good measure, if I was to sell it on eBay as "RARE", I guess original ripped would bring more $? And waste the perfectly good die cast model?!?!? The travesty of that thought, shame.
  2. All I ask for everyone, please write something like: Here is a video you can download to see better. Otherwise, back to your model, I have the kit, and it might not ever get built, so kudos to you for completing it!!
  3. Thanks for the information! It has the typical flash, but I was impressed with the amount of detail. The Prestige kit will be in a diorama, rode hard and hung up wet condition, thinking with the engine on an engine stand like it's getting rebuilt.
  4. Yea ya, the Chinese appreciate your business. And it didn't come with a cardboard diorama base.

  7. 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.
  8. Welcome! I'm looking at getting one of his Auto Union race cars. Thought I was done buying models.
  9. 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!
  10. Now I see the grill spacing, and fairing are different, so never mind.
  11. the Hit-and-miss engine
  12. [...] 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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?
  15. 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.
  16. ^^^ Couldn't have said it better myself!
  17. 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.
  18. I acquired this kit, so glad to see someone built it. Very nice job!
