Not a kit, but I got a single part. I got the rear valence for my '71 Hemi Cuda molded in PURPLE!!!!! I can FINALLY finish this project after starting it back in 1990!!! I haven't been this excited since I scored a factory sealed Jo-Han Plymouth Pursuit car 4 years ago!

I got a HUGE suprise in the mail today! this came from fellow friend, modeler and outlaw at large TxRat and was a huge source of irritation to a certain drag racing forum administrator. nothing like a suprise gift in the form of a Johan Sox & Martin Superbird! Thanks a ton Shane! i really appreciate it!

free Sox & Martin cars rock my dome too!

Dave

Thats what its all about Dave. People lose sight of what this hobby is all about FRIENDSHIP. These models don't mean a thing to me. Ive made a new friend and fellow Outlaw. Some Drag race forum administrators take this stuff way too serious....

YOU ARE VERY WELCOME DAVE!!!!!!

[Modellpularn]

Well, not today, but maybe a week ago or soo..... I got this old custom '32 sedan. I have an unbuilt, but had a hard time passing this up, since the price was right.

About the same time I got this one, also for a good price!

And this one as well! Just a little over 16 bucks, plus shipping, 31 bucks something total, that's a good deal for us over here.

I seem to fancy this kit for some reason. I found another one some time ago, also on the 'bay, and also for a fair price. That one has the text in the blue spot that says: "Molded in Petty Blue"

Anyway, among the new Nova, '32 Sedan, and '49 Mercury from Revell, I also got this one, but it's only an empty box. But I have an extra unbuilt original '69 Elky that I can unload the parts from, into this one....

Would anyone happen to have the derby car and other stuff related to this kit?? I know I have to cruise the 'bay, but you never know what your fellow modelers have in their stash....

I am just getting back into the hobby after taking a couple of years off. so short of having some unbuilt kits I don't have anything that I need to build one. Today my very wonderful girlfriend gave me the best gift ever. A very large nice new desk to build on. tomorrow she is going to take me to the lhs to get some building supplies. I am the luckiest guy alive!!

[E St. Kruiser50]

SWEET!!! I want to graduate to one of those someday! One of the guys here at work does 1/4 scale planes. You think 200$ is steep for a car? You should see what he has in some of his planes. He has a crew that does airshows, aerobatics stuff is amazing!

[RadRidesByDan]

I finally got it today after a long enough wait....now comes the scratchbuilding. Excellent platform for luxury RV's

Turns out he din't have what I wanted with him, BUT he was sending a batch of resin kits to Steve Kohler, over at Star Models, I got ahold of Steve, told him what Ray said, and lo an behold, I ordered TWO 1970 Buick GSX's in 25th scale!!! They just got here, and they're BEAUTIFUL! And in MY scale! I took my own advice an got 2 for just in case he doesn't get anymore later! Man, I had been wantin one of these things for a LOOOONG time! I'm so happy I could FART! But I won't cause I don't wanna be rude! But I AM a HAPPY Lil Camper!!! If your lookin for some off the wall models, and you don't mind resin kits, give Steve a call, he just may be able to help you.

[george 53]

Early Xmas gift; Missing Link resin 71 Hornet SC/360. Very cool and obscure car, nice conversion kit. Needs a few parts from the SC/Ramber such as drivetrain, suspension, exhaust. Glass will have to be cut from sheet stock. Very good quality kit, the resin is very much like styrene.

[RodneyBad]

Very Cool Kit you have gotten there Bob..

I happen upon a Collectors store that had a bunch of models

(mostly 80s- current)

but had a few Johans.

Some were more than others and I only had a few $$ to spare.

That was tough.

and this took half my funds.

Now to find more funds and go back.

[Rob Hall]

Sweet..that Hornet SC/360 and '68 Plymouth are great. I have the '65-67 Plymouth hts and convertibles, but only the '68 4drs in my collection.

I'll have to get the Hornet eventually, I definitely want to get ML's '71 Galaxie 4dr and '68 Mustang GT coupe.

I got a bunch of goodies in the mail and via UPS today--had a bunch of boxes on the patio this afternoon---got another Revell '69 Nova and '68 Charger, the Revell Shelby GT-H, GT500, and GT500KR. Also got a resin '69 Cuda 440 Six Pak hood and '71 Plymouth Scamp from Bandit Resins--very nice!

[RodneyBad]

Here's a good Finders Tip that works for me.

It is a Hit & miss kind've thing but the finds will be worth it.

If you have a Craigslist.

I search Collectibles and Games+Toys

I get lucky using these keywords

Models

Model

Car

Cars

And you can even search using the model manufacturing names

AMT

Mpc

Etc...

Good hunting..

[Fuel Coupe]

That Hornet is AWESOME..

Heres My haul this week

worked a deal with Charlie over a Pro-Tech and will NEVER need Braided line again (maybe). Also Davezinn and I have become fast friends and when I sent him the sox car after the childish fiasco over at the quartermilers site I got a very nice pile of goodies from him that will be divided between myself and other partner in crime MATT LeBlanc he sent a set of shocks , perry resins gasser wheels, SOHC motor some really BAD ASS flip top gas caps that will set nicely on the saddleback car and some shorty velocity stacks, not pictured is a Mustang I was needing for a future build, a MK Henry J. as well as really nice Satellite funny car body(For Matt). Dave is a great guy and went well above .Great week!!!
