ZTony8 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) This past Saturday I went to a local IPMS show and picked up 4 kits- a Heller Porsche 917( the Martini livery, same as the Testor re-box,), a Monogram Lola Indy car, the Revell re-box of the Accurate Miniatures Corvette Grand Sport, and an Entex Ferrari 312T3 (which, on the box says 1/25th scale and on the decal sheet says 1/28th scale!) along with some decals. If you haven't ever gone to an IPMS show, try it. Sometimes you can find some real deals as the vendors don't always know what they have. Edited March 11, 2019 by ZTony8
Rodent Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Friday I got the re-released 71 Duster, and four boxes of Girl Scout cookies.
89AKurt Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Monogram Porsche 904. Don't know why, had to get one. Seen a few auction for higher than I wanted to pay on eBay, this vendor had a price that was not ridiculous. After I ordered it, they messaged me to say the rear window was missing, I said knock $10 off, they did, I'm happy. Think I can make a back window. I see a tire had melted a little into the roof (knife pointing to the spot), vendor had rebadged parts.
Tommy124 Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 3 kits off my wishlist (and the 4th one should have been on it too...)
Ahajmano Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 All out of production. Was super excited to nab them! Been eyeing them for over a year and purchased each individually
Snake45 Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 This is the Reviews section, so let's see some REVIEWS of them. Especially that Morgan.
'70 Grande Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 What a minute; how 'bout that quaint little Alfa Sprint GTA...?
Fat Brian Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I still kick myself for missing the GTA last time it was out, the Karmann Ghia too.
Snake45 Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 REVIEWS! We want REVIEWS! With lots and lots of PICTURES! Get on that!
89AKurt Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Built the 356B decades ago, sold the Alfa GTA years ago and sort of wish I kept it but have 180 models now so why do I need another model oh wait I'm an addict never mind.
bobthehobbyguy Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 I agree. Would love to see some out of box reviews.

I hate to be nit-picky, but this is the "What Did You Get Today?" section. The "Car Kit News & Reviews" section is...over there somewhere.

unclescott58 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Tonight was our local monthly model car club meeting. So I picked another three kits for my collection. Round 2's reissue of the AMT 1/32 scale '60 Thunderbird. Their reissue of the AMT 1/25 scale '69 Chevelle sport coupe. And an old Revell kit of Jungle Jim's Monza funny car, with Jungle Jim and Jungle Pam figures.
Lizard Racing Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Scale Auto magazine had an article about the Mecom Scarab. I went on E-Bay but couldn't find one for the price I wanted. But I did find a Monogram Chaparral 2D. It cost a bit more than I am used to paying, but the 2D has always been a favorite. I have built other Monogram curbsides in the past and found them quite satisfactory for what they are. i look forward to getting started on this project once it arrives.

I have both of them, and my intention is to build them both OOB with the plastic polished. The panel lines on these will be a challenge due to their width, especially on the Chaparral, but I'll figger it out.
cobraman Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Got this 1/32 tractor . Plans are to stretch it and put a flatbed on it to make a little Cobra hauler .
Hotrod 97 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Got some plug wire for the Eliminator and some Mustangs from a friend.
ewetwo Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 This just arrived. Tail lights for the 62 Lincoln I have. If I knew how to do resin. I would make duplicates for others in need of them.
