Builds into a nice little kit.

Heck of a deal on eBay.

Another SWB for the stash (the 5th one):

front and rear panel have already been glued to the body, otherwise unstarted. But who cares, when you pay € 9,00 for it (4 incomplete trees from an Italeri Daytona Racing kit are additionally in the box) ?

Ha! I wish, I do already have a car that my parents are lending me so I can drive to school and practice.

My Dad bought one of these, when I was seven or eight years old. It was Navy surplus.

I was not expecting this today. Not something I normally buy the box art totally sold me on this kit, has lots of nice options.

Recent toy show acquisition  It look like the Tamiya Jeep inside, but there is no engine?

It's the SuperSnap (SnapTite) version of the Lindberg 1/20 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which was a simplified promo version of the glue kit. Those were dealer promotional giveaway items.

Look at AFX's build on this. He fixes the slab side look on this and it looks a whole lot better.

Got this 60 falcon annual at the Goodguys Southwest Nationals show. Offered $20 bucks and thought I would get shooed away but he sold it to me no hesitation. Should have offered less 😁. Not bad starting material, I think I see a gasser in this one's future.

I was really surprised to run across the Freightliner truck kit at Hobby Lobby. First time seeing one there. I have been looking for one cheap for a little while to go with the Revell auto hauler trailer build that I have planned.

A few from Cobblestone hobbies yesterday .............

[WillyBilly]

The correct decals from Mike's decals to go with this kit. The original kit was David Pearson, but these decals allow for the AJ Foyt Dayton 500 winner.

Not what did I get today, but what I avoided today. A very large auction with what looked like over a 1000 kits. I was told of this yesterday afternoon so I didn't have time to share it on here. I feel like the person that stands up and said I didn't drink today. 

[meechum68]

Those are some really great finds! 

I got a fun surprise today, I have another forum I am active on, and been doing a build post there, like I have here. Well I had ran into a stoppage on progress with the engine because Tamiya didn't make  paint close enough to Pontiac Engine blue, well one of the mods there said he had a jar of Model Masters Pontiac Engine Blue paint. I offered to buy it from him, well he said no, and offered to send it to me.  

Today I got the package from him, and not only was it the Pontiac Blue, but it was a few other engine colors as well, so Brent if your here, thank you again!  

Also snagged some nailpolish beads for mixing, and gonna start dropping them in my paints.

Hobbyshop buy from Saturday.🤠

Have not seen one yet one yet good score Curtis!

Train show yesterday!  Decent size train shows always have a decent tool vendor or two, and this one was no exception.  Found some decent quality tweezers, some polishing sticks, and polishing cloths.

Also got two kits.  I snoozed on the Sox & Martin 'Cuda when it was available, found this one.  It's autographed by Ronnie Sox's wife, not sure if that does anything for value but I got the kit for $40, less than I have seen other ones go for since it was discontinued.  Revell will probably issue the kit again in this version, but likely without the Sox & Martin tie-in.  I'll leave it alone for now, maybe I'll find another one at some point.  I can always keep the shrinkwrap intact on the lid if I open the kit.

On the way out, I tripped over a '61 Chevy pickup.  From the looks of things, it was started but never finished (grille, taillights, hubcaps, and hood trim are all unused and intact).  No junk glued into the interior or bed.  No trailer or optional parts, no big deal.  This one was priced at $50, but I got it for $40.

Also snagged a parts bag with a couple of interior buckets in it, for three bucks.  One interior was a '65 Barracuda piece, which I just so happened to need one of.
