Mike C. Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Got another motorcycle themed kit on feebay , I really only wanted the trailer and Huskys but The Datsun 620 pickup is kind of cool looking with its small block Chevy engine with headers. The extra gear is nice. If Round 2 still has the tooling for this, they should at least re-release the bikes and trailer with gear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyK Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Never heard of a 1/8th scale Cosmo kit but it looks pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my haul from the show- Got the 2 promo/annuals and Jo-Han Caddy for $10. The Pontiac will probably wind up being a convertible as the top is warped pretty bad. The Galaxie needs a rear bumper and the Caddy a top boot, but no complaints at what I paid. The Lindberg Phaeton is an absolutely crude mass of styrene of a kit but for $1 the box art is cool! The Hubley Packard & Corvette were priced too reasonably to pass up as well! Even bought some 1:1 parts which was nice. I have a part built/stalled project version of that Lindberg Tub sitting in the 'one day I'll get it finished' pile. 😀 steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I could see, it looked like everything was there. We'll see when it gets here. If Round 2 still has this tooling, the time it right to re-release it.

Mike C. Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I got a Maico diecast in 1:18 a few minutes ago. As far as I know, this one and the enduro version are the only Maico's that exist in scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C. Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I can remember back in the mid 80s, they were taken over by some other company and they changed the name to M-Star. After that I kind of lost track of what became of them. I have seen there has been a resurgence as of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPNM Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I had a couple 250 Maico's. Fast and IMO a visual work of art. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
