Amazing Jonathan! I got 6 bottles of Scalefinishes paint today too! Mine were 4 Hudson colors and 2 engine paints, Last night I ordered 4 more colors for a 57 Chevy, a 57 Ford and for a 55 Chrysler. Maybe there were only 3 colors :)

get Nissan R390 GT1 today. got BENZ CLK-GTR yesterday. ready to buy a decal from France for CLK-GTR as CLK-LM in 1998. #35 or #36. they didn't get good marks that year though..

by the way I saw the movie last evening called 'Le mans'  by Steven McQueen. well it really gave a huge shock.. I already made a Porsche 917K 1971 #22, but I guess I have to buy another one...and I have to buy a Ferrari 512s...

Just got in a Revell Jaguar E-Type, molded in red.  There's very few sink marks on this one.  The only thing I can see wrong as far as the shape of the nose is just the shape of the headlight openings is wrong.

Toy show score: Original '68 Barracuda Promo, red, complete, some chrome wear, a few minor scratches on body, missing right side vent window pillar and it looks like maybe someone has glued the right side A-pillar, still, a VERY restorable project and I thought it was well worth the $35 asking price. (Would have gladly paid that plus shipping in my great eBay binge-buying days of five or six years ago.) Anybody think I didn't get a deal on this one?B)

Found this old HAWK kit at a Antique Fair this morning contents in perfect Condition Decals are very Usable 

Seller was asking $25.00 I offered $20.00 he was rather rude and so no way ? So I gave him his selling price after all I like the old subjects and kits in this Condition

One I have been after for a while. Got it for what I think is a decent deal ( about $80 ) considering what I've seen them sell for

A  1958 Buick convertible. builtup. Still in all unpainted bare white plastic . But it did have some of the custom stuff glued on . Gladly it all popped right back off with minimul effort and only minor repairs needed . Its a good day . Now I just need a 58 Impala and an Edsel to round all the original 58 annuals

Nice one Bill!

You should be in pretty good shape now.

Seems like the Ford, Buick & Pontiac are the toughest AMT annuals to find.

I have seen quite a few Edsels & Impalas.

By the way, I ordered a set of stock '58 Buick skirts from Modelhaus back when I built mine & never used them.

Let me know if it's something you might use.

Score! That's not the first one I've seen with the front fender spears glued on backwards, either :lol:. Will you keep the generic wheels, get stock promo wheels from Modelhaus, or...?

Modelhaus has nice Buick wires too.

I used them on mine.
