As expected decal sheet unusable but I'm sure I have some instruments decals somewhere 

[Bainford]

That is some weird decal degradation. Were they overheated, or stored in some super dry place for a long time?

[kacitgirl]

its a very old kit 1993 release date so over 20 years old

I think the decals might have got damp, fujimis old decals often disintegrate over time and sometimes its can take less than 2 year. I've got loads like that and they are all 8s to mid 90s japanese kits. The revell and amt decals tend to be a little thicker which might be why they last better

Good to know @stitchdup I learned something new this morning!

The latham supercharger caught my eye.

Check your Walmarts. Mine got another model kit display.  When I noticed it they were on clearance for $17.  I go in today, and they’re down to $11.  I figured sigh why not, and grabbed these two.  I’m not a fan of MPC at all, but by these being new tools, and after checking them out I’m impressed.  Now to find what kind of aftermarket stuff is available for these.

I kept kicking myself over not grabbing the Cutlass last time and was fairly sure it wouldn't be there on my next pilgrimage.....I was wrong!

Went to the ACME meeting yesterday and got a winning raffle ticket, picked an MPC Sodbuster. Not something I probably would have bought, but on examining it, I found it has exactly the tires I need for another 4X4 build. It looks to be a nice kit too, so who knows. I have a friend who's really into 1:1 shortbed squarebodies, so I might de-4WD it and build it for him.

Slid by Ollie's on the way home and snagged a couple copies of the most recent Revell '32 Ford roadster too, plus an AMT Sandkat that I've kinda wanted to do something with, but not badly enough to pay much.

They had an AMT Kenworth mixer for cheap too, again a kit I've wanted but not enough to pay much for.

 

And finally, a Monogram '32 Ford simply because I think it's the BEST proportioned '32 Ford roadster ever kitted by anyone, and I've wanted to build a conservative full-fendered roadster based on it for some time. A friend has a black fiberglass SBC-powered 1:1 that is as close to a flawless street roadster I've ever seen...that he drives a lot...which is the inspiration.
