What did you get today? (Model Car Related Items)

[Eric Stone]

Got this stuff at the HAMS contest yesterday...

The Corvette was $5.00. I built one as a kid, and decided I'd like another. Odd thing, it has a big block Chevy with smallblock ram's head exhaust manifolds... Might do an engine swap.

The Thunderbird came from Matt LeBlanc, in a trade. Thanks, Matt!

The S-10 was $10, and I ended up getting both Impalas for $15.

Well I have a nice way of finding kits cheap and today was no different. I scored this one at a thrift store for under $5. It's missing the decals and instructions but I don't need them. I'm thinking of which car to make it. Time to look at some Slicks decals

[modeler]

nice find

I opened my mailbox today to find not only my first issue of Model Car Magazine (I love it, its like the forum, but I can bring it to the can with me), but also the airbrush that I didn't expect to see for at least another week, nothing special, just a cheap one to replace the one I broke while learning, but exciting nonetheless.

I got a killer score on Craigslist today! Another bike which is the whole reason I wanted to make the trip. To my surprise a Jeff Burton car which I thought was a Hut Stricklin or Marlin car. I was planning to make it Burton And a USS Enterprise from Tamiya. All for the very expensive cost of $10

[Mercman]

Found these the other day. 67 Chevelle, and a drag version of the Purple Passion.

Also got a Snorkel fire truck, and a skid steer loader. These are darn close to 1/87th, and with a little detail painting they should be good background pieces.

[Railfreak78]

Well here is my score from my LHS today. This combined with last night I got all of these kits for $50 and the Harley has a started frame the rest are un-started so being its within 24 hours I'll make this an add on basically.

[Mercman]

Just returned from the LHS with this in hand. Cost was $34.95 plus tax. Upon first inspection this is a very nicely done kit. Round 2/Polar Lights has done a nice job on this one. There is no flash to be trimmed, the casting's are crisp, and the instructions are done well. Also a battery box, and LED light are included with it. The window graphics are printed on clear acetate, and it is molded in 2 shades of gray. Also tips on detailing the kit to set the scene are included. Don't forget though this one is 1/87th scale. Lots of possibilities for the display of this one.

IMHO highly recommended kit to have.

should be starting this one soon.

[Rob Hall]

A little white box of Modelhaus resto parts came today, w/ some parts for '60s-70s Johan kits.

[dublin boy]

We don't get many US Revell kits in Dublin, but I had fun yesterday

[Mr. Moparman]

A new X-acto knife.

[High octane]

I was able to pick up the new Revell/Model King '50 Austin Gasser kit today. I didn't see Monogram's Indy Racer or I would have bought that also. And of course like a lot of you, I'm waiting for the new Hemi Dart as well.
