ZTony8 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 James, that's quite a haul of some cool stuff.Are the Gunze 250 GTOs the kits with the engine? I managed to score a Tamiya McLaren MP4/8 kit along with a Jordan 191 and a Honda RA272 plus some detail parts.Then I got a Fujimi RS series 246 Dino kit.
jrherald420 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 No they are curbside kits. I have a racing diorama and an Old garage find diorama builds planned with a couple of them. I do have the one with the engine, its was one of my dream builds, along with the Gunze Daytona Cobra. I found both of those on Ebay still sealed. I have never spent that much on just 2 kits in my life!!!! Lets say this, what i spent for those 2 would have paid for half the stuff in that picture!
MachinistMark Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Got this at a flea market yesterday to build a replica of my 1:1. Does anyone know if center bolt valve covers have ever been kitted? I'd like to mimic the vortec 350 swap.

They are chrome in the kits but that is easily fixed. Don't get the 454 SS kit though, it only has the big block in it.
MachinistMark Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Chrome is fine, they are chrome on the car..

Belugawrx Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Looks like you picked up some old rare models there Mike. Please take your time on those and ask for tips!! ......but mainly, just take it slow!?!
High octane Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I got a big bill for repairs on my truck today. That was no fun. Of course there was a '70 Plymouth Superbird in the shop as well, in Vitamin C Orange.

Chris, if you happen to have a good front/rear bumper and tail panel for my Wildcat, let me know. Charlie Larkin
charlie8575 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Thanks for answering the question I was about to ask Tom. The box-art looked too slovenly for AMT, MPC or Jo-Han. It would've said so, too. Charlie Larkin

Charlie Larkin Only old Buick piece I have now is a custom rear roll pan for a '63 Electra, unfortunately. Did you get the roof? These are the bumpers which are coming - I've IDed most of them, I think: Edited March 25, 2014 by ChrisBcritter

It's less than 1/4 of what the entire kit costs. Even with the $4.83 to ship it it's only a third of the kit price.
