Bargain Basement 300ZX

[Harold]

If you have never been to Dean's Hobby Stop in Flushing, Mi., you don't know what you're missing. Just before Christmas, I was rummaging through the stuff on the bargain table and found this Tamiya 300ZX for $4. The shrink wrap was long gone, so I looked inside to see how complete the kit was. Someone had taken all the parts off the runners and shoveled them into a ziploc bag. It appeared everything was there, but there was also a 1989 Mercedes SL in the same condition- everything off the runners and in a baggie. I immediately claimed this as mine- hey, at $4 for two complete kits, how could I not? This Nissan is about 90% finished (note the exhaust is kind of dragging). The color is Dupli-Color Import Car Colors Honda Milano Red (there's a whole mouthful of words) and the interior is Polly S Steam Power Black followed by a drybrushing of Polly S Engine Black to bring out the highlights. Other than flocking, it's box stock

I can vouch for Dean's; I like building imports/exotics and I found some killer deals on Tamiya, Gunze, Protar, and Heller kits at Dean's back when I visited several years back, also got some similarly good buys at a show in Detroit. People up there thought I was positively nuts for buying those ferrin' models
