How to Smartly Aquire Vintage Kits?
Brudda replied to Falcon Ranchero's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
My friend Bob taught me how to buy the old kits that you want. If you go to IPMS shows and look in the vendors area you might find a good deal. Some guys think their stuff is gold but i bought some really old models for cheap. And another thing is come late to the vendors area for your best deals. Some guys do not want to take them back to their car. I wanted a monogram Buick and it was cheap, $15. At the end of the show he asked me if I wanted to buy the Buick. I hesitated and he said I can have the whole box of models for $15. So I took the box. I found a Jo-Han 1963 cad and sent it to Ray(Slusher) for free. So you can find deals if your patient. Also we have a few antique stores here. I go in there sometimes. Found a few old models for reasonable prices. Some were crazy high but a few were low. You have to know prices. Bought a ford mk4 mpc kit for $10 there. A mpc Toyota 2000 GT convertible for the same price. So you might find a kit at an antique stores. Just a few ideas that worked for me. -
I have a 1970. My buddy has a 1969. I drove that 69 and fell in love with it. You want a very strong car that’s very reliable and fun to drive, the 69 is hard to beat. His has a 273 in it and it’s pretty respectable on performance. I do have a question, what model companies make a 1/25-24 69? I would like to buy some. I have the hemi under glass kit. Your build is great!

Great job! I just wonder on some kits why things don’t fit. You wonder if anyone actually builds it at revell. I really used to get upset on models. That did not fit. Now I just cut, sand or whatever it takes. Model factory hiro kits are really bad for this. You pay a fortune on a kit and things just do not fit. Getting burnt out on this so I’m putting them away for awhile. I have bought so many hiro kits that now I’m insane. So for my own good I’m putting them away for awhile to regain my sanity. Your build is nice. And I understand completely on fit.

300sl had this kit for a long time. Not really into gull wings but found some wheels and thought it might make this merc a little more exciting. It’s 1/16 scale thought i might try it. It’s an old entex kit so things do not fit. Took several hours to get the hood , doors and deck lid to fit. Might be a kit that’s not as involved as my mfh kits. Give me a nice break from those kits. The wheels came from a 1/16 revell testarossa kit. I might give this a try. Outlaw Gullwing. -

Brudda replied to happy grumpy's topic in Model Cars
I really like this build. This car has all of the right stuff. I get a certain feeling on models, when one is built just right. And this one gives me that feeling. Great car , great build. Great job. -
