  1. I have the JADA Ford GT and Vette......yet to build. It would be interesting if JADA had continued to make kits and improved them some.
  2. I like those kits.....you did well. This series of kits must be pretty rare. Saw them one time and never again. Hope you don't mind...here is mine.....with a few mods...
  3. Very nice work!!!! I want to build the Clown Liquor car!
  4. Wen t to my local store. Chrysler 300, 72 GTO, 96 Mustang GT, 69 Chevelle conv, PB COE, REO, White Western Star., 1/48 Lindberg planes and 1/1200 Lindberg ship kits. I got the White as I have never had the kit and I had 15% off....so for under $17 a good deal.
  5. My son called me and said his Ollie's in Lexington KY had models. Many of the trucks we had before, 69 Chevy conv, a few other cars....none I needed.....check yours.
  6. Many of the automated postal systems show 'shipped' as soon as the label is printed......Most companies print the labels days in advance.
  7. I will be set up as a vendor. Lots of kits, some big scale rare kits and Penngwen decals. Drop by and say hello.
  8. If you really want to know how China works.....check the book 'China: the 100 year marathon'. It explains how things work in China and the why. I am not anti China as in the people, many are great people and very talented. When I was working on a kit with a Chinese tooling company we had to communicate via drawings as we did not have a common language. It worked out well. The government is a different thing.
  9. Went today.....picked up 2 kits at 40% off.....a good deal. Got some paint to use on my O3r train layout too......worth the trip.
  10. Revell runs molding machines in a number of places. China is one of them. Poland and Ukraine too.
  11. Moebius, while engineered in USA, is manufactured in China. Salvinos is out of So Cal and Atlantis is out of NY....both will be in better price wise. And yes, shipping container today is toward $25K....no end in sight.
  12. I saw a report on the news a container rate China to USA has gone from $3000 a trip to $20000....I don't see how anyone can make a dime on product from China. Makes Atlantis look smart.
  13. That looks exactly like mine....in use from the early 1990's. I cut the floor out of one ring. $10 very well spent.
  14. Pete/Atlantis says Moon Eyes runs this week......
  15. I have a package sitting in Monroe NJ for 3 days with a 'Emergency Exception'. I asked what that was.....'weather dely' ......funny my friends near Monroe NJ say it's clear and fine........is that the weather they are talking about???
  16. I have some made by JNJ.....PM me if you need.
  17. Yes....that is what I used.......PENNGWEN decals box stock otherwise
  18. Chassis is shared between the classic Monogram GP kit and the Salvinos 2+2 version.
  19. I like it!!!! A great movie vehicle!
  20. Same building?? How many vendors??? thx
  21. "Let's go Brandon!!!"

  22. From the old kits I have it looks like the fillers, splash pans and drop axle were tooled for Salt Shaker and then lost for the reissues. Glad they are back.
