I bought one of those a while back, too. I bought one of the 911 Turbos, as well. They are such beautiful kits that enjoyment can be had, just looking at the parts on the trees! I would probably build the 356, first. Mine's exactly the same boxing as yours.
niteowl7710 Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Some recent arrivals... From LB Productions rally decals and decals to do the 4 Audi-WRT R8s that ran across GT World Challenge Europe Sprint, Endurance and 24hrs of Spa (each sheet is a 2n1 if not a 3n1). Also3D Resin rear wings for the R8 Evo IIs and wheels for the Peugeot Rally car. From DModelkits, three bottles of the "house brand" Firescale Paints for their Ford Sierra kit and the first set of aftermarket decals for the same from Renaissance. Gotta love some eeeeeebil tobacco livery.
Matt Bacon Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 One that @Ace-Garageguy will appreciate: SE Finecast 1/24 Rover V8. I haven't opened the bags yet, but it from the transmission, it looks like it's the "Morgan Plus 8" incarnation rather than the MGB version of the kit. Though I can see that it has fans and radiators for either, the air cleaner is definitely the one at the top.... which is good because it's the same set-up as a Rover SD1, which is also a possible destination for this lump. There are over 50 parts in the kit, all beautifully detailed and cast (it's the same folks who made the RR Silver Ghost I did a couple of years back). It'll be fun building (and wiring) this iconic engine, and then figuring out what to put around it... best, M. 1
Joe Nunes Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 My bride and I stopped in at HL this afternoon to purchase some puzzles for her and they were marked 40% off along with the model kits. While there I picked up a can of spray paint that will be used for the 1960 Buick HT that is being restored. And SHE picked out the 1934 Ford PU kit…said it was “cute”. ?? Joe 1
Mike C. Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Finally pulled the trigger on one of these. Ordered a Rat motor to transplant into it as well. 3
Mike C. Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Just won one of these on eBay. New year's resolution: Stope buying kits and get back to building some. 3

RSchnell Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 My haul from the swap meet today. Photos of the meet posted in that forum. The ziploc bag of steering wheels was hard to pass up! 6

mikemodeler Posted January 15, 2023 Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Been on a Promo buying spree, have to stop myself from venturing on to eBay for awhile. I picked up this gem, probably will leave it in the box and not mess with it. Edited January 15, 2023 by mikemodeler 2
ea0863 Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 (edited) Well, I am now up to my 22nd scale model since starting my review in November of Hot Rod Magazine Online This purchase started out with an article in HRM November 2004 of the '64 Dodge Charger concept: @keyser was kind enough to let me know that I could base this build on an old Jo-Han model: And a little searching on this forum showed two who have built this very same model: And the WIP: Edited January 17, 2023 by ea0863

OldNYJim Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Ran by Hobby Lobby yesterday to look at their paint selection…didn’t find what I was looking for but a few bits and pieces followed me home… Those little thin sanding sticks helped with a particular task I was trying to accomplish, and I figured after testing my Tamiya paint stand for 15+ years I’m FAIRLY confident they’re good quality and invested in another: Funny thing…the new one feels really light by comparison ?? 2 4

I used a pair of long nose pliers on my stand and most of the old stuff fell off.
sfhess Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 I found the Revell 71 Olds 442 kit at Burbank's House of Hobbies on Tuesday. I looked in the bargain bin and there was a built JoHan 70 442 in a bag with another car for $5.00. Sold. 5
