charlie8575 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 my gf screwed something up That doesn't sound too promising, in almost any definition. Whatever it is, I hope it's easily rectified. Charlie Larkin

Joe Handley Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 I finally brought this home, it's been on lay-a-way since November! Hopefully I don't end up doing this to it though Alright, i ventured into the hobby store tonight for the club build, and did a quick browsing through the models. something caught my eye. it looks old. AMT 57 chevy "pepper shaker" i looked all over every part, the box, and the instructions (which are ancient) and i cannot figure out when it was released. would anybody know when this released? the best thing is i picked it up for 8 bucks and it's only missing front tires, which i have lots of. Dang it, I wish that Round 2 reissued this kit like that instead of the way they did!
Landspeed1 Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Just came in TV Tommy Ivo 66 Nova, great kit Shayne
ChrisPflug Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Ever find youself buying something online just because it looks so pathetic and in need of a home?
spkgibson Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Ever find youself buying something online just because it looks so pathetic and in need of a home? Slap it in some scale cote,find you a 80's issue 71 Road Runner,and redo that sucker,that was a great find there,an original MPC GTX!,I'd love to find that kit!
Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 A rare, white styrene, MPC 1970 Dodge Charger R/T annual. Had to remove the decals with Easy Lift Off. Only one stock front seat as it was built as a race car. Lightly glued and never painted.

Yep- no way I could really afford that kit (or at least I'm too cheap to buy one)
JamesW Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I got the Ram Air hood for my 454SS today. EXCELLENT casting, no flash at all, VERY solid piece.
Junkman Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) I got these yesterday, so I hope it counts. Was at a local swap meet. First, I got the only two 1/24 scale Heller kits I was still missing! It was like finding two long lost children: These will probably not overly excite you, but they aren't that easy to come by on these shores: A few additions to my ever growing 1/20 scale stock. I find 1/20 a very interesting scale: A Fujimi 'Tohge' Mitsubishi Starion Turbo in 1/24 scale: I have this obsession that I will once build one of these ornate Japanese hearses, hence I always pick up something like this when I see it: Edited January 26, 2010 by Junkman
george 53 Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 WOW Marc, THAT IS RARE!!! The 2 ORIGINAL kits I have are BOTH YELLOW! I've never seen it in basic white! GREAT score. And Today I got the just released Airfix 1/24th scale De Havilland Mosquito Fighter Bomber! My MOST favorite aircraft of WWII. I have been in love with this aircraft since I saw the movie 633 squadron in 1963!!!! And NOW I FINALLY have it in 24th scale!!! It's BEAUTIFUL!!!!
CAL Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Another Ferrari that's not a Ferrari. Surprising inspite of the box being more of a ball than a box the kit survived. Ohh I like those old heller kits.
Rob Hall Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Stopped by my LHS this afternoon and picked up the new Revell '57 Bel Air 2dr sedan 2n1 and the reissue '60 Impala 2n1...both cool kits. Great way they packaged the parts in the '57--4 separate chrome trees.

RodneyBad Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Found a few off of CL this weekend. Good deal too. The 71 GTX has PE parts and engine put together nicely with Pre-wired Dist... And a Suzuki Swift R/C car. claims to be 1/28 scale but it does look bigger and it was Cheap. Besides, it's a Suzuki Swift.
CAL Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Gosh, this box looks like it was at Russo Steel. I know! Amazing nothing was busted up; a coupe (3) parts fell off the sprus but were intact.
ChrisPflug Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Got a little carried away at the end of an ebay auction I'd been watching for days now Really liked it though- two of these in the same week- this one's quite a bit nicer though

Murphy's Law Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Went to Hobby Lobby today to check out the 30% off sale. Didn't really see anything that I just had to have, but on the endcap, they had some open box stuff. Lo and behold, but a 1/12th Revell Ferrari Testarossa had been marked down from $69.99 to $15.49. Checked it out and all bags, decals, and instructions are present. Guess what followed me home and got stashed before the wifey found out...
