Modellpularn Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 (edited) Found an Uncertain T on the 'bay a couple of weeks ago. At first I wasn't thinking of bidding, but you know how it goes, it's almost like a drug..... But I was sure some "sniper" would slam and get it in those last seconds. Nope, didn't happen. So now I have two, and I wasn't going to buy more models.... yeah, right! I confess, I'm addicted. Here it is, second issue in the regular size box, as opposed to the early Monogram flat boxes. Pic is from seller. Only things missing are the glass parts. I also bought a Mako Shark from our own Mr Obsessive. And tonight I found the first issue of the '56/57 Corvette. I had it, but this one was just a little better.... Maybe I should call myself "Obsessive Collector".... but I don't think I'm a hopeless case....hehe Edited September 6, 2010 by Modellpularn
ScaleSpeedShop Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 I sure wish I had it. I have an old built up that needs restored. Someday I will find all the parts to restore it.
sobpinstriping Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 I did'nt evan know they made that car into a model, I will have to keep my eye out, unless you wanna give me one.......can't hurt to try cheers mat
Greg Cullinan Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 Nice score! Don't leave us hanging, how much?
Modellpularn Posted September 6, 2010 Author Posted September 6, 2010 Nice score! Don't leave us hanging, how much? Oh, ok it wasn't too bad considering a mint kit runs around 320-350$. 180 bucks + shipping 31$, + customs duty, about 70$ when it arrived....So I guess it came close to almost 300$ anyway. But I see it as an investment, like many of my models. Maybe it's not like art or stamps, or other stuff that's considered valuable in fine circles, but we know our stuff!
Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 ...and I wasn't going to buy more models.... yeah, right! Maybe I should call myself "Obsessive Collector".... but I don't think I'm a hopeless case....hehe I can remember back in 2003 that I thought I had all the models I ever wanted. Seven years and probably 500 models later...

It's good to hear I'm among other styrene freaks..... It's a positive thing, so cool when you meet someone on the other side of the world, and you "click" We speak styrene!
Greg Cullinan Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 Money well spent,I have a feeling there aren't many here who don't want this kit.
crazyjim Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 I'd like that kit but still have a hard time shelling out $20 for a kit.
