Roadrunner Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 eBay find. AMT 1959 El Camino from the seventies "Street Rod" series. From the original owner, or so he said. Does that version also have the camper shell? I've wanted the '59 with camper for quite a while now.
Toner283 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Does that version also have the camper shell? I've wanted the '59 with camper for quite a while now. The camper from the vintage box art reissue of the 65 elcamino is the same camper that was in the "Elcamino Camper" issue of the 59. AFAIK that was the only boxing of the 59 to have the camper shell included. The vintage box art reissue of the 65 elcamino has both the camper shell and the bed cap included in it.
BLOODBANE Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 I just got the Stomper Blazer and dune buggy. I also picked up a 1/16the General Lee the other day. Dont know if I will ever build either of them. I want the Stomper since I was a kid and bought the Lee because of all the stuff going on (Confederate flag drama).

I know at least one version of the '65 El Camino also has the same camper as that '59 kit that you refer to. I'll have one, sooner or later, a '59 with camper that is. Built is a kid, and loved it.
tbill Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Got two each of the moebius ford pick ups and the del rio wagon kit in the mail today.
Drake69 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Got in a pair of bubblegum lights, a set of spotlamps, and 2 full length clear lightbars from PoliceCarModels.com. Also got in my set of Virginia State Police vintage decals in 1/25 scale. Hmmm..... wonder what I'm gonna do with the recent Ford Custom, Model King Ford, Del Rio, Ford Interceptor, and Galaxie 500 purchases I made in the last couple weeks....
Petetrucker07 Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Picked this Gran Torino up today. Still 100% positive it's a Johan or some sort of kit.
mustang1989 Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I bought the '69 Pontiac to complete my year set of full size Ponchos. Right now the rest of the built ups I have in this series are neatly tucked away for future restoration. The plan for the set is to restore them to stock. I will have to see how it looks when I get it. I know one of the posts is broken, so I'll see just how bad. If the paint is really bad, I may just strip it now. Otherwise it will join the rest of the cars in that box! Do I see a WIP in the future if you're able to do something with it? Picked this Gran Torino up today. Still 100% positive it's a Johan or some sort of kit. Nice grab Clayton!
carcrazy19 Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I think that I might have a problem...I can't stop myself from buying more kits. Went to the LHS and picked these up.
Roadrunner Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Went to a local HL to pick up some clear for this AMX, and while there, grabbed the AMT Three Stooges sedan. The sedan was on sale for a good price, or I probably would have waited until another day to get one.
mustang1989 Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) What's up with the good prices all the sudden at HL? I went in there yesterday and got an AMT 37 Chevy that the box was open on for $5. You read it right FIVE bucks. I don't get it. That kit normally runs 27 bucks regular price wether the box was open or not! Edited July 11, 2015 by mustang1989
Roadrunner Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I considered grabbing that one too, Joe, though it certainly wasn't five dollars.
Ben Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I just got the Stomper Blazer and dune buggy. I also picked up a 1/16the General Lee the other day. Dont know if I will ever build either of them. I want the Stomper since I was a kid and bought the Lee because of all the stuff going on (Confederate flag drama). What are the tires made of in that Stomper kit? Are they hard plastic or a soft material?
Ben Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) My recent acquirements are as follows: Four Moebius 1969 sort bed pickup kits The Monogram, Tom Daniel Popper Chopper The Polar lights Boss Austin Snap Draggin The Polar Lights Manglia Snap Draggin The Polar Lights Willy Haulin Snap Draggin The Polar lights Willy Wild Snap Draggin The Polar lights Willy Fast Snap Draggin Already had a couple of the Polar Lights Bad Boy Snap Draggins kits and wanted the complete set. All are still sealed. Edited July 11, 2015 by Ben
oldnslow Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) Went to the train show today at the fairgrounds in Deland and found a stack of resin and some kits for rediculous prices, also went to Tuesday Morning yesterday with the wife and picked a new supply of detail brushes cheap. I like cheap. I picked up the Ford pickup at a slot car swap meet in Daytona. the resin kits were marked down to $5, then he discounted the 7 pieces down to $30. The roadrunners were $10. found these in the craft aisle, they had several more sizes but I only wanted the smaller detail brushes. Size #1 to 20/0. Edited July 11, 2015 by oldnslow
Scale-Master Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 A friend of mine had to clear his attic for a new furnace today and found these four kits. He decided he'd never build them so he gave them to me. He used to fly B-47s and B-52s. He used to have a '63 Corvette and an early Pantera. I'm sure he planned to make replicas of his rides.
Kit Basher Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 I hope you have lots of display space for that B-52! I had one back in the day, and had to hang it from the ceiling. Nowhere else to put it.
Crazy Ed Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 I hope you have lots of display space for that B-52! I had one back in the day, and had to hang it from the ceiling. Nowhere else to put it. Hey, Fishin' Line n Thumb Tacks, 'cause there's no where else it belongs.
Scale-Master Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 If I build it, it will be for my friend who gave it to me. But I will check to see if he has room first.I've ready done a model of his Continental 737; he was the pilot that took delivery of the very first Continental 737, and the Minicraft kit builds it straight from the box. (With the Scale-Master decals...)

mikechevelle69 Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Grabbed these two today have three now gonna build one.

A kit of a B-47; lucky you.
ChrisBcritter Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 That Hasegawa B-47 is a real nice kit; and just like suggested above, I've got one hanging on fishing line in my workshop (balancing it was tricky)...
Luc Janssens Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Last week these came in the mail, just in time for my annual sun-rotation celebration

Those Delivery Vans look awesome all painted up.
