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

[Mike C.]

My vintage jeep commando kit came today with bothe roofs, all the glass and snowplow.  I'm probably not going to be using thr plow, so if anybody needs one send me a PM. That color looks interesting but still thinking of some kind of orange. Also, my resin pickup truck tool boxes.

Some new decals and an Evo Transkit from LB Production. Should have come with wheels for the M1, but we'll get that straightened out on the next order. The Porsche decal sheet comes with a 3D printed whale tail - fits the BeeMaNuNu 935 K2 kits. 

At this point I own pretty much all of the AMG Evo transkits available on the market and LB's wins hands down for easy of use and near drop fit straight out of the box. If you're interested in Evo liveries LB has two others for sale right now and 5 more coming. SK has 5 of their own coming soon and more in the planning stages later.

I guess Rat Fink isn't a huge seller nowadays.

I know nothing about it, but grabbed one cause the kit itself goes for $50-$60. $20 for a trailer kit worth it, and just the decals alone would go for $15-$20.

Oh yes, I would get one if they had it here, but for the trailer not the decals. And I already have one non Rat Fink version. 

Edit: Actually I have two, one Coke version.

Yeah I would of preferred the miller light version. Same kit too just different decals. Might see if can find the miller light decals separately that are still good condition or any trailer branded decals. Pepsi would be nice, but impossible to find anything.

Yea I'm a Pepsi guy, there are some vintage kits with Pepsi decals. I saw the Miller truck and trailer at my LHS but there were too many other things I had to have more. I do have a Hostess truck and trailer which I think is currently out as a US Mail truck.

I never understood the whole fascination with Rat Fink so it doesn't surprise me those kits ended up at Ollie's. Some nice hauls in this thread!

Everyone has their own likes and dislikes but I never cared for ratfink or the flying eyeball..

[atomicholiday]

I never got it either.  I guess it was before my time.  But to each his own.

They make up the majority of what I buy (90%), and the majority of my stash.  ?

Yeah my Japan stash is getting close to out doing AMT/Revell/Moebius stash. Mostly Tamiya & Aoshima with few trumpeter, & 1 or 2 fujimi, & few meng kits mixed in.

It wasn't before mine! I don't get it, either.

I seem to be on something of a Corvette splurge, lately. A couple of weeks ago, I picked up an AMT '57 'Vette (green car box). Today I got both of these. The Monogram kit is sealed. The MPC is open, but complete, parts still in the bags. I also got this MFH foil from Spot Model. It's patterned. It looks something like engine-turning to the naked eye. I'll try it out, when I get back to my '53 Corvette curbside. After I've finished the dragster!

After last months acquisition of various ‘80s Monogram Mustangs and Trans Ams, this month got a few ‘80s Monogram Corvettes and Camaros.

Trade deal on here. Got the AMT Craftsman '65 Pontiac GTO Hardtop, and the Craftsman '70 Buick Wildcat. Had to put in a replacement  request with round2 for a Buick Body. Since both kit's were Factory sealed it's not the fault of who I traded with.

Yeah, I didn't have these specific versions..I've built a blue version of the '87 Corvette convertible, a later ZR-1 version, and a later issue of the '85 Camaro.

Finally got the 3rd detail up set for the RC166. Impossible to find the wheels detail up set - so I guess I can call it complete.

Got a neat old Fujimi Porsche 911 Targa ( I have many 911 kits, but had no Targas) and the new Bronco kit in the mail today.
