stitchdup Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I bought a Monogram Pro modeller 40 Ford convertible for £20 off them at the ipms show, the cheapest I'd seen online and eBay was at least double that I was pleased to get the johan olds starfire for 25 quid. I'd love to get to one of the shows they go to but they're all too far away for me. I like that a lot of the kits they have are not very common so I'll be buying again. I got a couple of plymouth cop cars from them last month for 35 each which didn't seem too bad for unusual kits (at least on this side of the pond) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Got tired of waiting for the US to get them , so found a couple of sellers on Ebay that had decent prices for them including shipping, The AMG GT came from the UK and I paid total $26 US, and the 570s came from Germany and I think I paid $31 total.

ZTony8 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 It was last Saturday that I bought the Tamiya Porsche 934 Vaillant version on clearance from local hobby shop for $39. I already have some of the special Tamiya color for it (and I can get more) so I can build it as a companion for the Tamiya 1/20 scale 935 that I have in my stash.

PatW Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) I don't think I've ever had a transatlantic parcel delivered so fast. I ordered this through Amazon UK from Mitros Toys in New Jersey on the 25 January and it came today the 31 January! As soon as I opened the packaging I started to laugh, what silly box art work! I don't normally save the box top art, but as this is by far the funniest I'll pin it on the wall of my cabin where I do all of my modelling! I did ask before I bought it what scale it was but it's not anywhere on the box, but I'm pleased because it is quite big and lends to a bit of detail work!

Ramfins59 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Wow, that's quite a haul Tommy. You should be kept busy with all of those for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
om617 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Wow, that's quite a haul Tommy. You should be kept busy with all of those for a while.Most of them will need some sort of fix,only kit that is close to mint is the early 70s Toronado. I dont have pockets for mint kit`s and there is also some joy to repair these old junkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russosborne Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Well, got it more like a month ago, but my wife bought me the AMT Flying Wedge dragster for Christmas/post surgery off of Amazon. Haven't gotten it opened yet as I just haven't felt up to building anything, but maybe soon. I'd like about 10 more of them, but then that is the case for a lot of the models I have.Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Just ordered a set of 1961 Auto World license plates on a buy it now on eBay for $4.00, plus $1.00 for shipping. It sound like the guy has a few sets available for sale. Well worth getting another set at that price.Scott Edited February 1, 2017 by unclescott58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having recently, over the weekend losing an auction for a Sandpiper kit, ( that went for over $100) similar to the Surf Woody, I'm thinking of scratchbuilding one of those! Busy time! And of course producing more woodgrain decals for the Silly Surfers one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
