Tom Geiger Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Chris, thats funny, like i said i dont do 1/12, but i have been sitting on this 1/12 (only one i have) that my neighbor gave me a few yrs ago... I received this one as a birthday gift from a non-modeling friend (of course!). As I opened it he said, "I'll bettcha can't build a really big un!" as if he had bestowed a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle on me! Anyway... my impression is that it's a 1/25 scale kit they scaled up on a copier. It has the detail level of a 1/25... non opening doors and trunk. I tossed mine into the 'bay!

Tom Geiger Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Sometimes I wished I lived over there in america I can't find models like these over here anywhere and everyone here would sell an internal organ to get to Australia!

JTalmage Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Got these from Ollie's yesterday. Not ones I was dying for, but it's something. Especially for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Believe it or not, I never built a %8 Chevy, as much as I like them. The Revell kit looked very well dome and the separate chrome trim attracted me more than anything, I still have a '59 Impalla waiting for me to finish the BMF!. So, I had an idea for a custom ... that will have to wait expressing until I get started and can post a WIP. But, I bought TWO of these ..

JTalmage Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 My wife is heading to one for me in a couple hours. Im hoping for several to come home with her. Yeah selection isnt huge.

jrherald420 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Im after 4 or 5 superbirds, 2 or 3 Z06 vetts, and 3 or 4 others ive seen pictured. Funny thing is last week i had the Z06 and the superbird in my hands and was going to spend 24.00 each on them and i set them back down and bought paint i dont need instead. How does the Ramcharger look? Is it worth buying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTalmage Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Havent opened the box yet. I may do that on lunch here in about 30mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTalmage Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) The Ramcharger Dodge 330 is a considerably better kit than most Lindberg kits. Looks to be pretty good. My body was slightly warped but a few quick slight twists holding it for a second straightened it right out. my 71 Mustang on the other hand has a broken A pillar... and lots of flash Dunno why I ever bought that one. My Roadster pickup is soooo bare bones and basic I'm starting to regret that one too... that one might get chopped up and hot rodded w/ a custom frame.

jrherald420 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 My wife picked me up about 17 kits. Only Lindberg kit she got was the ramcharger. Now I have to wait till Friday night to get them in my hands. Again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Bought 5 kits at Ollie's today.. 8 bucks each. One is the amt '57 chevy belair slot car that was only 15.00 bucks.. Edited October 2, 2014 by deuces wild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Got a '72 Chevy pickup chassis from a fellow I met at the DuPage show last weekend - going to kitbash it with my '67 to get the dual exhausts. You can tell the second exhaust was added to the tooling later - the second muffler doesn't quite match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianguilly Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 How does the Ramcharger look? Is it worth buying? Definitely worth the $8.00 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrherald420 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Definitely worth the $8.00 bucks. lol They were all worth 8.00!!!! 20141002_141908 by jrherald420, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helix Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Added these to the collection today The 'Hiace' is a kit I've been chasing for some time, looking forward to building this, it's just begging to be a delivery van or 'Tradies' van.... The 77 Celica is another kit I've been searching for, I owned one of these back in the 80s, the only downside with this kit is it's motorised, but that won't stop me building a replica of my old car! The Supra....well I bought it because it's one of those rare Tamiya kits that actually has an engine and not a curbside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 The Supra....well I bought it because it's one of those rare Tamiya kits that actually has an engine and not a curbside If you ever have a question about what Tamiya kits are curbside and which aren't just ASK someone around here, there's enough people contained here that the answer will arrive post haste as it were. I went looking at my Tamiya stash after reading that "rare" statement, and by my count of 60 Tamiya kits, 40 have full-on engines, 3 have engine inserts, and 16 are straight curbsides. Not rare at all actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
