oldcarfan Posted Tuesday at 10:00 PM Posted Tuesday at 10:00 PM Does anyone recognize these markings? Last year I ordered a couple of builtups on eBay. One is a Nissan Sylvia and the other Is this Toyota Celica. arrived and I set them aside and forgot about them. Today I found them and took a look. They were pretty well built and painted different shades of light green but looked a bit shop worn. I decided to disassemble them for a purple bath. I found these markings on them. I assume they came out of a collection and wondered if someone on here had built them.
peteski Posted Wednesday at 02:34 AM Posted Wednesday at 02:34 AM There is a Tamiya logo on one of them. While I have not built those specific models, Tamiya models by reputation are good quality models which fall together without problems. 1

iamsuperdan Posted Thursday at 06:02 PM Posted Thursday at 06:02 PM First post clearly states that he knows what the kits are. I think what Gary is looking for is if anyone recognizes the writing on them. Maybe someone here is selling their built up kits on eBay. 2
Spooker Posted Thursday at 06:07 PM Posted Thursday at 06:07 PM I've always signed and dated my commission builds in some inconspicuous (read: hidden) place. Some day, someone will disassemble one for parts and say "I wonder who this guy was"! 1

It pains me to think that someday some will pull them apart, but if they do, they will find a name and date of construction.

Dream big!🤪 1
Spooker Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago Maybe, but if it's come apart far enough to see my note, it's probably a goner! I can see the comment now - "he should have used more glue"!
oldcarfan Posted 7 hours ago Author Posted 7 hours ago I wondered if someone might recognize the description stickers. Maybe from someone they knew or something. I saw the one on the bottom of the cars was when I got them in the mail. I disassembled them because the paint was worn and found the other tags. I was just curious because if someone was going to leave a tag inside it usually has their name and date on it.
