Austin T Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) Nice score on the Honda XE-50 and the R5 Turbo. Is the R5 curbside or full detail? Also just noticed the Datsun roadster. Edited April 13, 2014 by Austin T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddyfink Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Nice score on the Honda XE-50 and the R5 Turbo. Is the R5 curbside or full detail? Also just noticed the Datsun roadster. Thanks! The little Honda was a real surprise when I found it. It was parked amongst some big rig kits. And the R5 is a curbside but it look pretty nice. Not bad for a kit that can be motorized!

Slapfight Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 That GT-One makes me so jealous. Nice haul. I've only recently bought another '70 Mach 1 2'n 1 on sale and the BM '70 Camaro, but I'm saving up for the Houston Modelmania show on the 26th. Anyone else going?

935k3 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Actually this came in the mail yesterday. it the Paasche Millennium set with all three tip and needle sizes. I got this for bigger jobs than my Iwatas can do. The wood case is very nice and even has a felt bottom. This airbrush is an updated version of the VL. I like the skinner body on this one. Price was $86 and free shipping on that rain forest site. Edited April 14, 2014 by 935k3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was making some insane deals! He slashed everything half off at the end of the day from his already low prices! I couldn't say no!! Looking at your stuff, I missed out myself! Being a vendor has the penalty of not being able to just go looking around at a normal pace. I had to walk quickly every time I left my table!! LOL!

ChrisBcritter Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Just won a whole lot of little items - unbuilt engine, underhood goodies, open wheels and wheelcovers from a '66 T-bird; the engine (with some mods) and underhood stuff will go into a '62 Continental sedan. Also: V8 engine and underhood stuff from a '64 Chevelle wagon, so my Craftsman '64 Malibu will get its hood cut open after all. Anyone have a junk '65 wagon or El Camino with a usable radiator wall that can be cut out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Anyone have a junk '65 wagon or El Camino with a usable radiator wall that can be cut out? The radiator wall in this kit is molded into the body. It's nothing special and has two huge screw posts on the inside of it that will be visible on your finished model. The radiator itself is just the rear face of it, that glues to this wall. Honestly, you'd be better off replacing the entire old school chassis on this one. The newer Revell 1966 Wagon chassis would be a first choice since it's a modern full detail kit. But if you just want a radiator wall and radiator, I'd go through the parts box to find something a bit more realistic. There are a lot of GM midsize cars that may have better ones. In researching this answer I went and pulled out my '65 Wagon build in progress and saw that I had changed out the chassis for the Revell 1966 Chevelle chassis way back before that wagon kit existed. I need to pull that one out and finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WizPorsche944 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Very nice Porsche. Thanks I really wanted this car for a long time.

OK, this may sound perverse, but I want to make this kind of a phantom - a '64 Malibu "glue kit that never was", screw posts and all. I figured I'd saw the end of the nose off a junk '65 and trim the front panel down until it fit like an original. I have the dual-carb V8, firewall, battery, washer reservoir and radiator, so this is the last piece I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris - One of the resin casters - I think "Missing Link" - did a '64 Chevelle Malibu kit that's modified to have an open hood, and some underhood details. You might want to check it out; could save you a lot of work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
