No problem. You mean the 1956 chevy box. It's kind of bent up. But I'll hold on to it. Don't know when I'd even get to building it as I have too many kits now. Don't know why I keep buying them. LOL

Umm. No!.. I was referring to the '69 Yenko 427 Camaro...

Mine you mean?! I did wonder.....

Interesting to know that you think it might have some value. As far as I'm concerned it was a just a fairly cheap eBay purchase that I was slightly surprised to win, and is going to be built when I get inspiration.

I also have this one on the way to me, maybe the same basic kit?

These came in the mail today along with some paint....

I have another 68 to build, so I think I’ll do a set of ‘twins’ as it were

I have BLOWN my model budget already for the month.. But when these popped up, it was too good to walk away.

The S10 and Corvette are opened, but appear to be complete.

I don't want to spoil your party, but I don't think these castings look that good. I see a surface structure that maybe can be described as 'pebbly'. And I recognise it from my own castings: after using the mold for 20 castings, I get the same. The castings still releases fine, no problem, but all 20+ castings have a surface structure that looks a lot like what I see on the hoods, especially the left one. Since I noticed the problem, I made 'counters' on my molds, to retire them after 20 castings. Works fine.

You can sand it off, yes, but that's not a nice job. I would ask the manufacturer whether the masters are the cause, or the molds.

Stopped at a vintage thrift shop on the way home from work and picked these up. The Mustang is complete and the Buick has a broken/ missing windshield frame. But the price was right on both. Already have the Buick pulled apart and in the Purple Pond.

Nice score, especially the Buick.

Saw one of these being built on the board recently, remembered I'd meant to get one. It came in today.

[Deuces ll]

That almost looks like a new release.... ??

[ksnow]

Got an order in the mail with some paint colors I needed and these two kits. I like the service truck options included with these vintage pickups.

What is your building plans for this Bill ?

Probably a ratty, worn-out grandma car with no hubcaps, a little fatter tires (for sand), and a surfboard rack and boards. Sorta what would have been an un-cool alternative to a woody.

 Thanks. For some odd reason, I got on this thing for getting a bunch of late '50s and early '60s American iron.

Nice bundle there. The recent Aoshima reissues of older kits often have extra detail with them.

I just got a Revell 29 model A  roadster.  Looks to be a cool little kit.
