A few kits arrived over the past week. Surprised at how detailed this Heller 917 is. I always thought they were pretty basic. Will definitely be doing this in Gulf livery. I have some Splash Paints incoming for it.

Also got some decals from SpotModel, which I'll post about in a week or two when my next purchase arrives. Pretty stoked about this one.

Not pictured are my two additional Tamiya GT3RS kits that also arrived.

 

That Heller Porsche has a gorgeous box art painting of the car

Well, if you have enough patience, and you stumble across a listing at the right time, you can indeed obtain your holy grail kit at a price that isn't completely mental.

 

 

I finally have it.

 

It arrived safe, and properly packaged.

 

 

 

And is 100% damage free!!!

 

This is the first Tamiya Volvo 850 kit I have received that didn't have a damaged A pillar.

 

As suspected, the decals are a little yellowed, so I pre-emptively ordered a set of SK Decals through Spot Model, which arrived a few weeks ago.

 

Now I have the pair.

 

 

Me so happy.

 

Superb! I was at the launch of these two race cars at Silverstone in the day!

When I finish a kit, I always cut off the box top and one side panel, and keep those before tossing the rest of the box. 

Some of these, I plan on putting in frames and hanging as art in the office. 

This box will be one of those art pieces for sure!

Yesterday:  Revell 71 Mustang Mach 1 kit and an AMT 70 Camaro puzzle.

Today:  I received my Crown Model 1/24 Maserati Bora kit, which was an eBay find that was on my watch list for several months before I decided to pull the plug.

Tomorrow (Saturday):  my 1/16-scale Otaki Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale should arrive.  Another long occupant of my eBay watch list

Outstanding. I love that you have the issue with the van. I especially like the off-road van.

The Revell van kit was a bit of a hard to find but the decals need to be done again .

Got these just today. Sod Buster was a local Hobby shop purchase and will be a model of a certain 82 step side Chevy my uncle use to own along time ago. Qtips for some decal work here in a while and I was eating lunch and just looked out the window to see the Amazon driver and he dropped off the Micro Set and I thought for the price we got it in bigger bottles than this... How or where do I order it in bigger bottles than this???

Hayyy a Fast Buck, I use to have that kit along time ago and sadly among me moving a lot, I wound up loosing it in one of the moves... Would love to find another down the road sometime

Pretty exciting here...I got a tube of Tamiya white putty.

The old one has hardened into a tube-shaped rock.

I think STS Decals has replacement copies of these decals if you need them. I bought a set of the Charlie's Angels from them for that version of this kit.

Received my weekly VCG Resins shipment, just like potato chips... can't eat just one!

Glad you made it, Jack from Atomic City had a table there. We had too much to do couldn't make it. Plus I really don't need anymore plastic right now. Love the California Roller, nice score

A few things that have arrived over the last couple of weeks (except the Revell 240Zs). I've wanted one of the Tamiya 240Zs since I first saw one, and was finally able to afford one. I never planned to start collecting Datsun 240Zs, but, here we are! The mesh is radiator mesh from CTM. I haven't had any mold putty, for quite a while, yet I use it fairly regularly for making quick molds of simple parts. Glad to have that back on hand. I got the FSM/SA Contest Annual, and an assortment of thirty 1"X30" belts for my bench sander.
