My score from the model show at the Atlantic Nationals car show in Moncton N.B. this past weekend.

I bought the Malibu. The AMT Camaro was included with the plaque for "best GM" I won [somehow 😉] with my white/silver OBS Chevy pickup.

The other 2 are door prizes.

The Academy Hyundai delivery truck is a curbside but very detailed along the lines of what you'd expect a higher lever Japanese curbside car kit would be.

I've been wanting one of these Revell VW vans. [is this actually a "combi" ?] now just need a couple little 4mm Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias logo decal for the back windows. 😁

Nice kits Steve!

How’s the tape? Good as Tamiya? 

Depending on how much QC is put into any given roll. You might have to get a straight edge and cut a new edge on it. My experience has been these cheap "washi" tape kits aren't cut as precisely as Tamiya's and it'll make your edge wander off and/or it won't seal as you'd expect and you'll get bleed under.

I'd just about quit buying any new models of anything, but when I saw these for what seemed to me to be a good deal, I popped.

I missed the Chevy coupe last time around, and had no intention of missing the wrecker.

I can vouch for that. I bought Washi tape from Michael's and it works well, but it definitely needs a new edge. I usually put a strip on my glass cutting plate and cut a new edge first.

I'm kind of the same way except when it comes to obscure Japanese or European kits. I just can't pass them up it they are a good price!

I said I wasn't going to buy any kits this week. Then I stopped at Wild Bill's HobbyTown in Arlington Texas. They had four kits I really wanted, but my wife was with me so I only got this one. Maybe not a holy grail, but definitely a "Please please can I get it?" kit. The roof was a little crushed but not broken. I think the one piece glass will straighten it out. For $25 it was definitely worth it. 

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if this is the Italeri kit reboxed?

got a couple tins of tamiya light green pearl. possibly the easiest colour choice ever as it was the only colour they had 2 off and 1 isn't enough for the golf. of course i got home to find i already had a full tin and a half tin, lol. Also got another tin of rubber black just to have extras

I'm waiting on the stepside to get reissued. I found a few on eBay the other day and man the prices.... 🤮
