Daddyfink Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Nice score, Stian! I would be happy with just the Camper on it!!
CJ1971 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I'm with Nightowl... I recently purchased 6 of the Revell 70 Cuda kits from GMS customs, all were sealed, packed tightly & were RECIEVED by me here in Australia, perfectly.
cobraman Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Got the Tweddy Pie 2 from ebay. Plan is to try and modify the body from the Slingster to work with this chassis and engine.
Greg Cullinan Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I think I have an issue about '57 Fords... Ford Customs by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr When those are built I will have seven built Revell kits. Not to mention the AMT kits... I never noticed ?. You do them well.
Tom Geiger Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 This arrived today! 1957 Opel Rekord promo. It's in pretty good shape overall. It's not warped like American promos of that era. It has a working friction chassis held on by screw posts. It has a small crack at a screw post on the trunk lid and the right corner of the front bumper is missing. Funny thing is that the seller described it as a "parts car only". I think it's more like a car that needs a bumper! I lived in Germany from 1969-72 so I have a soft spot for Opels so I wanted this one. This was a Buy It Now for $19.90 + 7.75 postage. I had $5 in eBay Bucks so it only cost me $23.00 Yea! Funny thing was that when I clicked into the Promo section to look for something else, this was the first car in the list. There were 5 watchers but nobody pulled the trigger, so I did it quickly. It is a bit large, with a 100 inch wheel base it scales out at 1/23 scale. It should be a small car but it just looks like a full size car next to a '55 Chevy on my shelf. Anyway, it made my day!

Definitely a win. Cool Opel.
Joe Handley Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 That's an Opel? COOL! Hate to say it, but I almost asked if Palmer made a mid-50's Buick at one time.............oops........

Nice score, Tom. One of my neighbors had one of them when I was a kid. At the same time another neighbor had a Vauxhall Victor which was ironically the same color, which was a pale gray-green, with a white top.
lordairgtar Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) Was that a "made in Germany" promo? I might think it's actually American made if not. A small plastics company in Wisconsin made them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_Miniature_Company Edited January 25, 2014 by lordairgtar
ChrisBcritter Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 This arrived today! What a score! Wish I'd been watching. Always wanted to find one of these and make it into a gasser - as far as I know it's never been done.
JTalmage Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Scored this the other day. Pretty happy about it for $12.
gasman Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Had an expensive but good day, got the new goose 1/12 camaro, and the amt c600 Pepsi truck
RodneyBad Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 No models but I got me some decals. They felt sorry for making me wait soo long, they threw in a few extras...

slusher Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 No models but I got me some decals. They felt sorry for making me wait soo long, they threw in a few extras... I like those Extreme Lee decals, may I ask where did you get them???
RodneyBad Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I like those Extreme Lee decals, may I ask where did you get them??? I got them from https://www.facebook.com/HazzardousDecals I got the last one they had untill their ALPS Printer gets fixed.
GeeBee Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Won this on eBay in the early hours, I really need to check my model stash more often, had a look this morning and yes I already have this one, oh well I got it at a good price .....
Bill Eh? Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Geoff, accidently/on purpose bought a second one of that same kit. Price from a friend was too good to pass up on! LOL
Daddyfink Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Picked it up at the local show I was selling at. Serious blast from the past!
