CaseyG83 Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I just wanted to start what has been one of my favorite threads on airplane modeling forums. It’s not meant to brag or prove has the biggest modeling budget; I just like to see what other people are buying... Today I got the ‘50 Ford p/u with the Ardun flathead I’v been lusting over, a Caddy 354 parts pack motor, and some HOK “Burple” candy paint Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Cohen Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I picked up the Revell '49 Merc and spent a couple of hours digging through my parts boxes looking for more ideas. I have a friend with a chopped '49 and Monday I am going to take a real close look at it and compare it to the kit. His is in suede, so I'll work on him to paint it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Johnston Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Well...not today or yestereday...but Thursday I received an Auston Healy 100-six in the mail fom Ja Bill...for the price if shipping ! What a great guy ! Its already stripped and sporting a bunch of Bondo that needs to be sanded. I also ordered a bunch of pre wired distributors from Arrowhead Aluminum Accessories. Today I need to find some Alclad, since the LHS who carried locally it shut its doors on the 30th. The other local LHS's don;t carry it (yes I KNOW I am lucky to still have two or three LHS's). I am bidding on something closing on ebay in the next couple days...we'll see how that goes. I usually lose LOL JJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelmartin Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Happy Birthday, Bob! I got a resin 37 Chev sedan delivery body from Ebay that was a little disappointing. It wasn't bad but it wasn't up to modern standards. I have coming SliXX decals for the Dale Creasy CraftsMan Funny Car.

robertw Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Since my LHS is 140 miles away I haven't been there for over a month but I did get an order from Model Express at the beginning of the week which consisted of some MCG photo etch, a Fujimi Ferrari 348 kit and the Revell '49. Hey, I wanted to find out what all the hoople over this kit is about but I can't imagine me having a lot of desire to build it. I've also got an order to Strada sports (decals & PE) just about ready to be sent. robw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
