Yeah, shipping is very expensive. And cans can only shipped on surface, not in the air. This is a bit cheaper.

Can you give me the dimensions and the weight of one case? Than I will search online and maybe I find a good price for shipping. :)

Edit: this is what I get in the last time. I'm sooo happy that I founded the Plasti-Kote Primer here in germany!

I got a kit from my childhood too.

The AMT reissue of the original 1925 Ford T with the chopped coupe. I had one of these when I was about 12. This one will get built better. Someday..

Edit: paint cans are only holding magazines from causing a landslide.

Which car is the first on the right magazine? It looks like a 50s mercury, can you give me details about it? I search since a long time for a kit of a 57 mercury but I don't find one.

Iwata is king, Chris. I'll bet you're going to enjoy that puppy. Do you have a spray booth? What kind of paint you planning to shoot?

I still need a booth, right now I am spraying outside with acrylics, so far

I'll have to go back and check for you.

Hope that Fall Guy didn't set you back too much. ;)

nice haul chris I did finally get you on my very big list of good traders!!

I love the Omni and fall guy that Omni I do not have!

very nice haul

Omni was so cheap I had to have it $5

Great haul, Nick, both award wise and kit & magazine wise! It was great to talk to you and friends at the show.

Thank you Peter, It was excellent speaking with you as well, will you be out for the Ajax 33 show?

Can't pass up a $5 Omni or other small car of the 1980s! I have my share of them, Cavaliers, Ford EXPs etc.

I thought I had a $5 Beretta at a recent show, but upon opening the box, someone had lopped the roof off it. So I passed.

I have a few of the 90's small cars but wanted more 80's small cars, I can live without instructions for $5

Just got back from the show in Wheaton. Finally got rid of some stuff and picked up the '50 Olds (now I can benefit from everyone else's experience!); also got a bag of leftover stuff from a '68 Chevy pickup (I have a '67 that was missing the outer wheels, and these were the same. Also have the rear bumper/taillight unit if anyone needs it). One thing I'm kicking myself for missing: a big bag of tires that had at least three good sets of '60s AMT Firestone whitewalls plus a ton more for $10. Should have grabbed them then, but I had to think about it... :( Looked all over for a cheap Revell stock '40 Ford Standard coupe for my '40 Merc convertible project but nobody had one, cheap or otherwise.

Anyone else go there today?

forgive me for asking a stupid question, but what scale are the tire machine and wheel balancer? those look cool as heck!

I was able to get this from a true model pro. I'm just getting stated into the hobby and needs tools, but I'm having second thoughts about using this off the display.

I'd keep it as a wall hanging. It is very old, just look at the logos on the blade packages and the fact that the C-clamps are metal and not plastic like the ones they sell today. Any idea just how old it is?
