Snake45 Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 If you can't find a Hasegawa 1/24 Jeep, the Testor/Italieri kits are very, very nice too. Much better than the MPC.
Dann Tier Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 OMG!! -When I was in the phillipines I got RACED around in one of these! they call them "Jeepneys" Don't lean against the back door/gate, they never wanna stay latched!!
StevenGuthmiller Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Just came yesterday. A new set of router bits for the Dremel. Steve
cobraman Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Ordered this kit on ebay a few weeks ago. It came from Russia. A Cobra kit I had never seen before. Will fit good in my collection.

Jhedir6 Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 I just ordered from Greg Wann one of his Eleanor kits. And today, while I was doing some house cleaning, this showed up on my back window ledge. Since I finally was able to track down an Eleanor kit, another one from my Bucketlist, I'm naming her Eleanor (Ele for short) David

carsntrucks4you Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) I got one of my holy grails. 1/12 Shelby Cobra from MFH Edited December 30, 2015 by carsntrucks4you
Deathgoblin Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Went to the LHS last night with some christmas money, came out with the AMT 1968 Roadrunner kit, a bottle of AllClad Chrome and a new pair of sprue cutters (the spring in my last pair broke). Only complaint about the RR is this: For a kit that's obviously a newer tool, why did they go with the molded chrome headlights and chrome taillights?

Mike999 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Monogram #2305 '32 Cadillac V-16 Dual Cowl Phaeton and #2308 Packard Speedster Phaeton. On eBay at $21.99 for both, plus $7.36 shipping. So less than $15 each including shipping. SOLD! I had both kits in the past, sold them and regretted it. So I was happy for the second chance.Got them in the mail yesterday, both are untouched and complete, just as the seller said.That was a 7-day auction and I was the only bidder. So I guess those Monogram classic kits are in their "unpopular" phase right now. Subject to change any time, of course.The MAC 1/24 scale Praga AN beer truck also arrived. Discussed in the thread "Weird, Ugly and I Must Have It." No surprises. The body is diecast metal, prepainted in Flat Green. Fenders, hood, chassis and wheels are metal, prepainted in Flat Black. Bed is molded in green plastic with wood texture. Includes 3 BIG beer barrels molded in brown. I'll probably just repaint the body and bed so they match.
Junkman Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 My very finally last model car for 2015 arrived today.

Mike 1017 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Santa was very good to me.He did most of his shopping at Hobbylinc Looking forward to retiring in a couple of years I am starting to stockpile kits. The display cases came from Pioneer Plastic. A case of 12 was $53.76 {$4.48 ea} plus free shipping Happy New Year Mike DSCN7594 par Mike Permanian, on ipernity
StevenGuthmiller Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 I got great disappointment! My Moebius '61 Ventura arrived today, & when I opened the box I found a crushed roof with a severely distorted A-pillar. I guess my visions of a glorious "Dawn Fire Mist" '61 Ventura are on hold for just a little longer. Terrible ending to a bad day. Steve
mike 51 Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 That's a shame Steve....amazing no one notices that kind of thing before the box is closed.
timc Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 I got my 61 Ventura today. Sorry but mine was ok when I opened it except for one tire, the white wall was not as bright on one as were the other 3. Got a can of Testors black one coat paint for it too.The NNL decals from Tom G. arrived too.

The NNL decals from Tom G. arrived too. I think it's just because of the way it was packaged. Space is very tight in kit boxes these days with the high parts counts. By the time you get everything stuffed into a standard sized kit box........well, it's kind of like the old saying, "10 pounds of BLEEP in a 5 pound bag"! The body was on its side in the box right up against the side. One good bump & you have a busted roof. I've already sent a message to the boys @ Moebius hoping they'll replace the body for me. Nothing is more depressing than spending $30.00 on a kit that's unusable before it's out of the box. Steve Edited January 1, 2016 by StevenGuthmiller
timc Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 I'm thinking about calling the customer service number and asking about the tires. I have three that are bright white and one that is almost a grey. Looks like the tempo printer was running out of ink or paint.I don't have any other complaints other than the instructions are a bit vague on parts placement and some sprue attachment joints are on the large side.This is the first Möbius kit that I'm building out of the four I have in the stash, so I am not used to their layout yet. Otherwise it looks like a good kit.
