I was able to get three 1/43 scale Rosso kits , these are real nice kits .

[Bill Eh?]

Nice score on the three Rosso kits. As you said, the detail is quite impressive. I remember that the A pillars on the NSX were quite fragile when I built it. They included a metal weight insert to give it some heft!

HEADS UP!  If anyone is looking for that ICM Model T Speedster kit, Freetime Hobbies has it on sale for $25.79 right now. Also the Revell Porsche Diesel Junior tractor for $17.99. If you like 1/12 scale motorcycles, they have a bunch of AOSHIMA Kawasaki & Honda kits for $10.49 each.  Their 1/12 scale Honda Z50 J-III Gorilla  mini-bike is $7.99.  

Also a couple of big motorcycle kits I haven't seen for a while:  the ITALERI (ex-ESCI) 1/9 scale Triumph 3HW and Harley WLA-45 WWII military motorcycles. Those are $36.84, which is less than some eBay sellers are asking. (No surprise there...)

As always, I have no connection with Freetime other than occasionally sending them money.

I picked mine up this side of the pond for the equivalent of $21 with the shipping.

I got these today in the mail. The Cadillac and the Falcon were purchased at a decent price. And I have what I'll call a Secret Santa who surprises me time to time with a gift. This is the first time I've seen one of their builds and it beautiful done. It is proudly displayed on the top of my computer desk so I can see it every day and be inspired to build as nicely as this model. I think it is a Ford Vicky. And and engine and wheels along with some beautiful whitewall slicks.Thank you so much.

My local Hobby Lobby actually had some clearance items.  Looked like they picked the place clean, I found these behind other items.

Don't care how nice looking he is, as long as the wheels are OK. 

(Sorry, it was just too good to pass up!)

Talk about leavin' the door open.........................LOL

Been keeping an eye out for a cheap gluebomb build of one of these on ebay, since I have an oddball idea of how to customize it. They're not especially rare, and there was a somewhat recent repop of 'em, but I managed to snag this one a few days ago with a single bid for a total amount (car + shipping) that's below most any starting price on originals, built or unbuilt. The reason is because the seller only had it labeled as "Racecar, built." Put "Scarab" on it and all the Scarab hunters come out of the woodwork. Another one minus the interior but with a slot car chassis and kit box is currently up at $56, nearly twice what I paid in total. Handy and appreciated score for a poor guy like me.

A good friend of my fathers & mine had asked if I could fix his dryer so I said sure (I fixed appliances for years when I was younger). So I ordered the parts & last night I went over to fix it for him, it only took about 15 mins. So we got talking after & he started showing me some of the models he built as a kid, they were in a nice case in the basement. He told me pick one so I did, then he dug out a big box & said this goes with it. We argued over how much he owed me & I told him 1 box of models. This is what I found in the box after I got home. I only cleaned some & WOWWWWW!

Wow, that is a really nice bunch of model kits.
