Ramfins59 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Spend quite a bit of time on ebay and it seem to be an trend the recent months to part out vintage kits and sell part by part. Anyone else noticed? Yes Tommy I've noticed that too...... especially some guy in Canada who always lists each and every part of every kit separately for ridiculous prices. I also notice that quite a few sellers really don't know their cars. For instance, today I saw a '56 Plymouth Taxi model that the seller had listed as a 1957 Plymouth. I sent him a message advising him of that. Usually they will correct their listing or at least put a correction in their description.
om617 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Road tax ? Hows that work ? Pay per car ? ???? Yes,$500 pr petrol car newer than 30 years and $550 if you have a diesel. Also there is road tax on tractors,motorbikes,snowmobiles and close to anything with an engine. After WW2 there was restrictions and sanctions on who was allowed to drive cars so they made somthing called luxury tax. It was not until the late 50s cars where allowed on a free market and could be bought by anyone,but the tax stuck with it and have been increasing since then. So if you have 4 cars it`s $2000 a year. Also when you buy a car,for cars model 2000 and older,you will need to pay $255 to register in you`re name and get plates. If you buy a 2000model and up until today you need to pay between $600 and $1500 depending on the cars weight. Another example. A base C Class Mercedes is $35800 in USA: A base C-Class in Norway is $63000.

Rob Hall Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 That's pretty amazing that a 56 yr old model would be found like that..
Danno Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 That's pretty amazing that a 56 yr old model would be found like that.. Doesn't happen at any Goodwill stores around here. Best you can usually do is a pair of 56 year old jeans for $10, or a 56 year old cordless phone for $5.
The70judgeman Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 @Don- Those car haulers hold 6 or 7 cars. You can still find the kit of just the trailer too. There's even another kit with the tractor, trailer, and two car kits included(the '82 Camaro Z-28 and '82 Firebird T/A) all in one box.

Best you can usually do is a pair of 56 year old jeans for $10, or a 56 year old cordless phone for $5. Yea! I've been stalking the local Goodwill for three years now and haven't found a single decent model of any kind. Best thing I've found was a Pontiac Vibe diecast in 1/25 for $3. One trip I thought I was seeing models when I saw the familiar AMT logo from across the store. There were two kits, one a Ferrari the other a Corvette. Both were incredible paint bomb / glue bombs that were never finished. They wanted $5 each for them, I wouldn't have taken them for free! I always check the t-shirt rack and have gotten some cool shirts for $3 each. A lot of them are new. My favorites are beer related, but my overall favorite find is one from the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. My most recent buy was 3 old Kodak slide carrousels that hold 140 slides each. I am trying to go through my old family slides (my father took everything as slides) so they were a must have for $2 each. Edited March 30, 2014 by Tom Geiger
935k3 Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) This came in the mail today. It's an Iwata Revolution CR. It has a bigger tip(.5mm) than the Eclipse for thicker paints although I did still get it to spray a pencil line thickness. It is the same great quality as the Eclipse for less money. IMO one can never have enough airbrushes. I know cleaning is hassle with some but it is a joy to paint with a good airbrush. Edited March 30, 2014 by 935k3
Chris White Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 I have had my revolution for at least 6 months now, I absolutely love it. Cleaning it, not that bad
every second counts Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Got this in the mail a few days ago, can't wait to get it painted when it warms up.
every second counts Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 This is what i got yesterday. The boxes are a little worse for wear,but they will be built so thats ok. The papa truck has some stuff glued and the coke truck has enough parts to almost build two. cheers Ewan
Greg Cullinan Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 I just got this in & got a great deal on it to!!! Nice.
Danno Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 That's sweet, James! May we peek inside? Pretty please?
Tom Geiger Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Picture in the car? Guess that's one of those kits you can't wait until you get home!
