kelson Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 Bought this yesterday from the Hobbyshop,it was sitting on a lower shelf for a few years.
ewetwo Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 Love the Karmann Ghia. We had a convertible that my dad use to ice race on Lake George in upstate NY. When. it wasn't raced my mom used it. She would take us 6 kids and our dog Ringo to the beach in it. That's before the stricter laws came into play.
ewetwo Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 picked these up today and my Magic Sculpt was in the mailbox when I got home. The station wagon from my local Hobby Shop. Not cheap but I like to support him and haven't seen it anywhere locally till today. And the Mercury from a sale on Facebook Marketplace for $15.
GeeBee Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 I really should stop going on the internet late at night, ended up buying one of these....
PierreR89 Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 Bought this old Revell freightliner from ebay.
ChrisBcritter Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 Picked up an AMT '72 "Crew Chief" Blazer at the LMMCC meeting last night. The roof is kinda warped (is this a common problem?) but the body's straight.

Rocking Rodney Rat Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Modelhaus tires, they're still going, fast shipping, too. I love these tires or street rods. Be advised, they fit AMT sized wheels not Revell sized wheels. www.modelhaustires.com -RRR

Greg Myers Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 Picked up another one of these $18 couldn't pass it up.

I've always had an interest in classic tractors, but apart from a few old Ertl models, I've never seen any 1:24th kits over here, and I'm not into collecting diecast models, which there are plenty of tractor models out there.
Gramps46 Posted November 18, 2019 Posted November 18, 2019 I went out to the mailbox and this poor old thing followed me back to the house. Well with the weather turning cold I figured I better bring it in. I thought at first it was a 1965 AMT Corvette but now realize it is a 1965 MPC Corvette. My lucky day.

Can't wait to see you bring it back to life.
espo Posted November 19, 2019 Posted November 19, 2019 Great starting point. The glue should be nice and brittle by now to help disassembly and minimal paint removal.
Mike999 Posted November 19, 2019 Posted November 19, 2019 The fe-mail carrier dropped off 2 late arrivals yesterday afternoon: 1/24 scale Aoshima '74 MGB and the ICM 1910 Paris Taxi. I ordered these from a big U.S. online vendor back in Sept. Both were showing as "In Stock." But by the time the vendor confirmed my order, both were out of stock and back-ordered. It took 2 months, but they did get here in the end.

Neat, but that damage on the quarter panel looks like it will be a pain to repair unless you replace the entire quarter panel.

thatz4u Posted November 19, 2019 Posted November 19, 2019 got this recently, will trade it as I have nothing it will fit....
Snake45 Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Just bought what looks to be a very restorable glue bomb AMT '72 Chevelle SS convertible (?) on ePay.

ChrisBcritter Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 It was included with the AMT '59 and '65 El Caminos; it was in the first issue of the '65 and the second (IIRC) issue of the '59.
