I scored my 2nd One-Armed Bandit kit. I bought the kit knowing it's missing parts and the box was very rough, but it had a good copy of the instruction sheet and decals. The decals are decent but dirty. Not sure how to or if you can even clean them without rendering them useless. I'll probably give STS scale model decals a try for the first time to inquire about having a new set made. Both the instructions and decals were to complete my other kit...
What a crazy kit! Never knew this existed.......

SLR and a couple of rebuilder LUV trucks

Will have to try that. When I had a Cadillac STS a few years ago, mice ate the wiring harness when it sat outside. I have glue traps under my CT6 and Mustang, but the Jeep sits outside..
Bounce dryer sheets work well too......

Not my yard but in my son's driveway.
Second time they found it there in the last week!
Think I would eliminate that nest of leaves, maybe it won't come back?

The zipper merge may sound good on paper, but it never works real life, NEVER

It's a slow rainy Labor Day so I'm going through some things I've gotten in the last couple months. A while back I asked if anyone had ordered from Scale Hobbyist. Many months ago I asked them to let me know if they got this kit back in stock and they notified me. Here it is, a Mitubishi Starion, one of my favorite cars from Cannonball Run 2. Sure wish someone did a 1/24th Subaru GL hatchback, too! The Scale Hobbyist order got here in less than about a week, well packaged in a box not a bag, and in perfect condition. I have no hesitation about ordering from them again.
Next up is a pair from Lionheart Hobbies, a Bronco Dune Buggy kit, and a Subaru Sambar van.
I also have a couple of Walmart or Hobby Lobby kits. The Celica and a 1980 Bronco. I built that Bronco as a kid and I'll be trying to build it again with hopefully a little more skil this time.
Finally, a bit of a mystery. I came across this Firebird shell and have no idea where I got it. It's missing the chrome, glass and everything else. I put it in the tub of Purple Clean and it took off the thick brush painted Testor's blue leaving a good body. Now all I need to do is find some chrome parts and one of the rereleased MPC Trans Ams for the rest!
Any idea if the Starion is available in the wide body version like the Conquest?

Good looking Ford!

Sure wish they would do 4 door, there are so many more of those out on the road than 2 door models.
