Will need some tweaking.  But I already had the Goldfinger DB5 and didn't want to "cobble" it into a stock version.  It even has the figures in it.

 

When I compared that to the DB4, there is less size difference than I expected, given that the 1:1 DB5 is slightly larger.  It will be a while before I put this on the bench, but they are getting more rare

Now that is sweet...!

Just had to get another one of these

are you going to "hot rod" this one???

[ewetwo]

I picked all of this up today. Lots of parts. A couple screw builds in there.Buick Wildcate. T-bird. Corvair. Corvettes. Lots of bodies. Don't know what I'll do with it all. Especially the bull dozer. LOL! And what the heck is that long blue model.

[Gramps46]

The long blue model is a Revell Mickey Thompson Challenger, land speed record contender with 4 Pontiacs.

I had an angina attack just reading those words !! Factory stock is what i build, not decided on the colour yet,as I've got way too much planned before I even think of starting this one, but I'll either use the other set of wheels included in the kit, or I'd like to get hold of a set of steel wheels with the chrome hubcaps

David, buddy you have some really good models and parts. If you don’t know what to do with it box it carefully and you will down the rad.

Among many other things, you have the body of an ITC '40 Mercury convertible. If you want to build it up, I may have some spare bits, plus I've cast the hubcaps from it.

The long blue car is Mickey Thompson's world land speed record car, Challenger II, I think.

That's all that's there Chris. Just the body. No frame or anything. Would a 40 Ford fit? Thanks Tom. I had no idea what it was and have no reason to keep it. I bought it thinking I could make something out of some of them and the 49 Ford looks about it. The 57 nomad is cool but the c pillar is gone in the back. No idea how to fix that. I think the Third was a promo or did they make a kit without an opening hood? No chassis. First thing is to clean them up and get a better idea of what's there. Most will be but up for trade. Like that bull dozer and Challenger 2.

Revell 69 Nova may have your wheels & caps....sorry about the scare those 2 words gave you....

[Scott Colmer]

Got some mail today. The truck rims and tires are for a revived project I am back on. I widened to kit tires myself. I thought they came out pretty good until a friend was checking out the project and and "Yeah, I can see where you widened them right there." as he pointed to the seam. So these are an improvement. Hopefully, they will seat better than the modified kit items.

This is another Monogram late 4os era balsa kit. I have three of the five now. (There are 4 cars and a boat) I'm looking for the other two- the Aquajet boat and the Terrajet land speed car. This Midjet is mint in the box. There is a mint Aquajet boat out there, but I have to see where things land after Christmas. I'll have to wait for the Terrajet to show up.

Yesterday the mailman dropped off the interior tub for my '64 Dodge 330 from gtx6970.  Thank you Bill.

Good idea, I've got that kit, although I plan to use the steelies on the Nova, I can easily make a mould and cast them in resin.

[cobraman]

Got another kit today . 

[mod3l Lover]

5 Weird-ohs kits for a buck each at

the local Dollar Tree store!

I think someone (Fireball Resin maybe??) Already casts this set of wheels if you wanted to save yourself some work.

[Scott Colmer]

I'm going to dollar tree tomorrow,.

Follow up; No models there. Bummer.

Who can resist teddy bears on their wheels, lol. I forsee a golf harlequin in my future because nothing else would suit them (pick up just for sizing)
