What did you get today? (Model Car Related Items)

[RSchnell]

Ordered some aircraft kits and picked these up while I was at it. They were waiting on me when I got home tonight!

[deuces wild]

The wagon kit is awesome....?

[niteowl7710]

More paints from Splash. The two little ones are part of the small line of Land Rover colors Sam has decided to do - for the new(ish at this point) RevellAG kit from two years ago. The bigger bottle is a custom mix of 1988 Toyota Dark Blue Pearl for the Hasegawa MR2.

Finally got one of my grail kits that I probably paid WAY too much for, but it's a grail after all, and that's what happens.  I'm a sucker for '60's TV show stuff....

Went to visit a local friend he said he had some of those ugly cars that I like. 
there are a couple of neat survivors there, most of it is pure glue bomb junk, but I had fun digging through his bins for all this treasure. A vast majority I will possibly trade off.

Nice haul! That Monogram Model A Phaeton is one I wish would get reissued.

I have a better survivor version of the red chariot. The black one could be restored.

Nice kits on your supply run..

[PatW]

Some more 3D printed rims/tyres, this time in a Minilite design, wides for the rear and narrower ones for the front with disks to suit..

They will fit most things 1/24 or 1/25 scale. Perhaps on a Lotus 7 in build at present or a Porsche 914 or most anything else with a sporty feel!

Well it finally came today. The vintage Monogram squarebody Blazer kit I was waiting for. I'm really excited about this one.  At first I got nervous because the factory sealing looked a little off like somebody had faked it and when I checked, everything was there. It's molded in this maroon color which doesn't look as bad as I imagined it would but I already decided on an orange. Here I up mocked it up with the super swampers.

A virgin kit, still wrapped in its original plastic. I got it at a reasonable price from a seller on eBay too. It looks very nice.

Two of my favorite old kits.

The wheel sets on the top are from Jays wheels , the others are(obviously) from Off The Sprue

[Ace-Garageguy]

Scott8950 sent me this rough little C2 Corvette body, rather than throw it out. It's the kind of thing I really enjoy building into something cool.

First thing I thought of when I saw it was another vintage M/SP "what if" drag car, in the same vein as this:

After a little internet digging, I found this crazy thing. I think we have a vision forming...

I can't wait to see what you do with it. It's always good to see something that is junk turned into something cool. I love seeing these old cars saved.

I took advantage of a surprise day off work and went to my LHS. They had two of the three kits I was looking for. They will order the other for me if I want, but there's never a shortage of kits I want on the shelf, so I picked a different one. 

I took a few pictures to show some of what I had to choose from.

Bill, I know you will make something out of that body…

Looks like Colonial! I haven't been there in a while, need to hit them up soon. Be a good excuse to go look at camera gear too.
