Would you know if any of these stores sell older or used kits?

Oh nice, I didn't know that you replied. I was looking at hobby island too.. and I thought friendly was RC only but I have to take a look. Thank you

Good chrome and no tinted glass! Haha

Thanks for posting, I almost bit on their Vw altered body since I can't find an aardvark one

It appears to be same, even the wheels.

Just wait for the MPC blazer to come back, im sure it will

I didnt wanna pay for a "bottoms up" so I made my own from a daisy kit

I always wondered if licensing was a big part of why models are so expensive, because for the most part, those AMT display cases were about the same price for 15 years but the model cars went up 3× I was thinking about this before covid of course, and everything went up since

I'm visiting las vegas for the first time since I got back into the hobby. Years back, I would visit Hobby People and Hobbytown there but I think they're gone now. Anywhere else within about 50 miles to look at? We don't have Hobby Lobby here in Hawaii so I'll visit them too

Looks like this topic turned into the wish list one ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️ @Xingu

I think these would sell well especially with the "too many projects" bodies currently offered

Street van flares for dodge van model kits

3dscaleparts.com sells these. He also sells on eBay

There's a 1/25 one in the AMT foxy box kit

I'd like a shorty chevy with no flares, maybe a conversion for the amt would be nice too I think this one was last made in the USA so here's hoping Atlantis has it and puts it out soon Here's one of mines built with that kit

How could I get one of these? I see they offer a later ford van grille too. The website doesn't show either parts

Maybe, hopefully, someone makes a transkit to fix all that

I'm pretty sure its the AMT one, I did measure up both cars and a swap should be possible. I plan to put the 80 front on the amt 77 myself. The amt 77 front end is terrible, by the way

I think some of it ended up in the Mod Rod kit

What about testors competition orange? Last year I chipped my paint on my schwinn orange krate and was told its essentially hugger orange. I also used duplicolor chevy orange and had to tint it a little yellow as well

That looks amazing I've been using an olfa circle cutter and stick on mailing labels to make mine. Theres a video on YouTube. This is my 1/32 Honda N360 so the tires are tiny

You better clean the brush well or there will be a whole new meaning to "waxing her eyebrows" The angled side of the brush is quite stiff. You can brush with the bristle grain (or whatever its called) first, and if the wax is too stubborn, go against it. I've never used the other side of the brush but maybe it'll be handy in wood graining or something

An eyebrow brush makes quick work of that wax residue

Looks great, should that side marker be in the body crease?
