The built ups are great and I love the Fruit wagon. There is nothing else in the bunch that I would kick to the curb. Really nice haul Mike!

Thanks, I couldn't believe the Fruit wagon and the '69 GTO are both complete and only $10. Each. Last minute end of the day deal. No Dog Catcher box though, sorry.. maybe at the next show in September..🤞

Nice price! I believe there are two complete cars in the Fruitwagon kit. Could be wrong.

No worries on the box! Thanks for keeping your eyes peeled anyway. To console myself, I bought an empty AHM branded Meter Cheater box I stumbled across. I have a mint Revell kit and didn't need the box, but I'd never seen one before and there are no pictures on the net.

Earlier this week I received an MPC Thunderbolt AMX kit from a Modeler Named Mike. Mint sealed kit no less! And the USPS made quick work of the delivery for a change.

That is nice! How do you like the Webers!

Picked these up at a local flea market, both kits for $30. I checked and the Audi is complete, but unfortunately the engine and drivetrain are assembled and unpainted.😕 The Mack is unstarted but had one bag of parts open and one sealed. It is the original issue (T535)🙂 I assume it is complete from a preliminary look.

They look good - you get 3 carbs with 7 intake trumpets (2 versions):

With 2 sets I can equip three 4-cylinder engines:

Made a trip to Hobby Lobby today for their 40% off deal to pick up 2 pro street novas and decided to also grab the new Green Hornet's car. The Red Baron came from an ebay auction, open and complete. Not that the kit consists of that many parts anyhow.

I had one of those ut calibras a few years ago and i thought it might be underscaled compared to the tamiya but i only had the alfa dtm to compare it to. It was just a feeling i got from the kit but to put my mind at rest would you mind comparing the bodies? I put all the gubbins under kenmary skyline eventually

I had a Serious Case of "What the He**" yesterday, and blew some early birthday money at Hooby Looby.

I should not have done so. But, it has not been a great month so I engaged in some Retail Therapy.

Got 4 kits. All from Round2.

1. Dodge 'Country Charger' --aka the "Dukes of Hazzard" kit in Mufti.

2. 1960 Ford Pickup & Trailer. (My second one of these)

3. 1932 Ford Sedan Delivery--the old MPC kit with the Coke decals.

and, Last but not Least..

4. Kenworth Alaskan Hauler. The only one of the 4 kits, that I have never owned. I can't wait to tear into this kit and Grok the parts. Now, I just need a trailer to go with it.

I think it has been over Ten Years since I bought more than one kit at a time.

Kudos on your self-restraint! I think it has been over 10 years since I bought just one kit at a time! 😲
