GeeBee Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Managed to win this off eBay, I had one but sold it with other models in the stash back in 1997
Tom Geiger Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 Another Trabant Universal kit! A dealer on eBay had these for $19.99 with free shipping so I grabbed one, maybe I should've grabbed two! Since I turned my first one into a van, I still need a wagon. The wagon kit seems to be a better starting point for a Trabbie Tramp jeep than the sedan too.
FASTBACK340 Posted October 26, 2014 Posted October 26, 2014 While cruising the swap meet section of this mornings car show I grabbed these item's for $20. Machinist edge scribe, inside & outside calipers, and a pair of round-tip jewelers pliers.
Dragfreak Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I bought a couple intake manifolds and a couple velocity stacks today, one is a small block chevy weiand team G, the black painted one is a weiand big block chevy team G, and the other is a polished weiand small block chevy 6/871 blower intake. The velocity stacks are new old stock EC's. Bought the intakes for $100 a piece and both velocity stacks for $40
Don Sikora II Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Managed to win this off eBay, I had one but sold it with other models in the stash back in 1997 Fujimi Porsche 911.JPG Good score. Really tough to find that kit in the States...sure wish Fujimi would reissue it.
LDO Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 A pair of these. Mine are used. One is missing all the r/c gear. That's OK, it would get thrown out, anyway. Now I need to find 1/6 scale '56 Packard tail lights.
Tonioseven Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I got time at the bench this weekend. I'm happy for that.
GeeBee Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 Had a few deliveries today, the two Caprice kits were bought off eBay, all the Tamiya stuff I got in a half price sale ....I've also ordered a Revell '69 Dodge Charger bodyshell on it's way from Newts Boneyard, now I can build my next '68 Charger with a vinyl roof.

GeeBee Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Wonder why ;^) I think we've spoke about this before, I've even got in touch with Revell AG about it, the emails I've got from them would make you laugh ..... But I bought there new (or so I thought at the time) the box shows a '68 Charger with a vinyl roof, but in reality you just got the same body as supplied in the Revell/Monogram version, with no vinyl roof Box art :- What's actually in the box :- Edited October 27, 2014 by GeeBee
Luc Janssens Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I think we've spoke about this before. Therefor the ;^)
JTalmage Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 A coworker went to a little country auction and there were some models and there were a couple folks buying them up. One person Who was buying them my coworker ran in to after the auction, and the guy bought a few models for the display cases. The guy was tossing the models in the trash! My coworker came up on him in time to save these two Bosses. He got them for nothing and gave em to me since he knows I'm a gearhead, mustang fan, and model builder. Pretty darn cool. They're in great shape just missing some minor parts but I might not even restore em.
o-man Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 A few more things have shown up from eBay. The best of which is Tamiya's Aston Martin DBS. Was watching a rerun of Top Gear and James may was driving a baby blue one...Hmmm. Also got a Greenwood Corvette, 68 Charger and a bunch of resin wheels.
GeeBee Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) Another eBay win, hopefully it's a nice kit to build .... Edited October 28, 2014 by GeeBee
Pete J. Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 The big brown birthday truck just arrived from Japan! Not exactly appropriate to this forum, but I have this eggplane fetish thing that I just can't seem to ignore.
1930fordpickup Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 The big brown birthday truck just arrived from Japan! Not exactly appropriate to this forum, but I have this eggplane fetish thing that I just can't seem to ignore. Is it the plane or the girl on the box that had you buying this? Cool looking plane ,never seen this before, or is the one that the engines rotate for carrier landings?
Pete J. Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Is it the plane or the girl on the box that had you buying this? Cool looking plane ,never seen this before, or is the one that the engines rotate for carrier landings? Hasagawa started putting the figures on the boxes with the current series. Egg Planes actually go back to the 70's. There were figures included in the early ones but they were all caricatures of pilots and the like. No figures in these. This is the Air Force Special operations version of the V-22 Osprey that the Marines fly. It is intended to replace some of the helo's the Marines fly, because it is faster. They are called egg planes because of the distortions in the fuselage look line eggs. Just fun builds. Here are some of the ones I have done. As I mentioned, they are really just a fun build. It is hard to do any super detailing on one, so they are for the most part just OOB models.
Mr mopar Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Got this from Japan today ,what a rare find................. I love it!

deuces wild Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 While cruising the swap meet section of this mornings car show I grabbed these item's for $20. Machinist edge scribe, inside & outside calipers, and a pair of round-tip jewelers pliers. I got those same items and then some from a retired machinist... Fer free!
GeeBee Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Decals arrived this morning, not sure who makes the Dallas Police decals, but they look 1st class quality ....
Pete J. Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Jesse- This is the Air Force special ops version. I'm surprised they didn't mold it all in clear plastic. I think I will go with a darker color just for effect. Kind of a night ops. There are two "egg" versions from Hasegawa. The V-22 Marine version and this one. This one has one extra piece on a separate sprue and the gray decals.
