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


Recommended Posts

Picked up 7 glue bombs at a local antique store for $12. It looks like they are all from the mid to late sixties.  Some of you may know what they are, if you do, please let me know. The green one and blue/red one are by Hawk. 1902 Rambler, and 1909 Oldsmobile.

Hi Mike , I built this one recently which includes some of the molded parts from the Tamiya Lotus 25 along with new tooled parts from Ebbro. The best part of this kit is the machined aluminum injector stacks that are included, wish these were available aftermarket. I had a bear of a time getting the upper cowling and engine cover to fit/ fully seat onto the lower tub. I recommend doing lots of dry-fitting and tuning if your kit parts fit like mine did (hopefully yours will fit better!). The assembly and alignment of the exhaust headers was also a test.  It’s a beauty when completed and I hope someday to build another one of these along with a Lotus 25. Good luck! John

Picked these up today. Parts available LOL Underneath a few are screw bottoms. Seems like they liked the 32 Chrysler. Into old planes? Check the “what did you buy” under not car related if you’re into planes.

This is my favorite of all the EM Series Porsches. I've never had one, before. I managed to get this one, shipped, for a surprisingly nice price!

I also got these six bundles of twenty pieces, each of .020", .032", .040", .060", .080" and .100" plastic rod. hey were less than $20, shipped! Nice!

Oh oh! A bit of a fly in ointment. My kit is missing both outer front wheels. Parts number 48. Everything else is there. I wonder why these two part missing? And only these two? I’ve never had to get replacement parts from Atlantis before. I’m curious to see how they handle those problems.

Both of these showed up, yesterday from Ebay purchases. I also have an Advent 510 in the BRE markings. That one was started and painted. This one's pristine. When I get around to doing Lotus John's ride, I'll have a clean slate. I built one of these Monogram RSRs probably 35 years ago, or so. I still have it, but, I like the kit, and the wider-bodied 911s.

It looks like Atlantis’ service is as good as their models. They have informed me, that the replacement parts I need are already in the mail on their way to me. What more can one ask for?
