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

[Straightliner59]

I got the Sox And Martin car for a bit less than they typically go for. It's just something I felt like I wanted! I also got a parting tool for the lathe, with six blades.

MPC 65 Dodge Polara
 

Wait, what? Details please! I did not know such a kit exists. I have been looking for a '65 Polara for years. I thought the closest thing was the '65 Monaco.

Oops.  It's a Monaco.  It was late and I'm not feeling well.

Got two mail calls and a few kits from my LHS !

[atomicholiday]

This isn’t model car related, but it is a model.  Been looking for it for a while now.  This is for the VK Nieuport 17 I picked up a while back.

Sorry if there is another thread for non-car related items.  I didn’t see one.

 

[SfanGoch]

Nice! Williams Bros. produced really interesting subjects. They also made Wright Wasp and Whirlwind engines.

No problem. I just got all excited about a Polara.

[Tabbysdaddy]

I've seen a car or two with an airplane engine, so it's acceptable.

Are the tires and the wheels one piece?

yes, indeed - so careful masking will be necessary when spraypainting these.

The '63 Falcon 'vert arrived safe and sound yesterday, so since I was on a roll, I went after another red U.S. compact car:

Very clean '74 Hornet promo that was met with indifference by everyone else (no other bidders or watchers) so grabbed it cheeep. Always liked these swoopy little jobs.

63 Bonneville promo.  Dark brown (Cordoven).  A piece of my childhood.  I got one as a birthday gift when I was 9 years old.

[ozmodeler]

I just received these today ,Feebay purchases and the price was fair. Great kits, and I already have a couple of convertibles. These kits may or may not be produced again

 so I'm happy to have them in my stash. I love Ford Falcons !

Dang it! I missed this one. I've been looking to pick one up. Good find!

Yesterday's mail

[Straightliner59]

This one came yesterday. I mainly bought it for a chassis for an AMX promo. It needs to be shortened, through the passenger compartment, but looks good, otherwise.

[RSchnell]

Stopped in a local LHS that had tons of secondhand kits. Evidently the owner sold all those to another shop and is concentrating more on R/C. He did have a couple shelves of new kits and scored these for $20 each. May go back and get some more at that price.
