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


Recommended Posts

Grocery night tonight and Wal Mart had these kits marked $5 a piece.  Selection was very limited though.  Picked over.

 I also went to the lhs in Fort Wayne and got some paint.  Also very picked over.  I guess I’m gonna have to find it online.

I didn’t technically GET these today - but any VW fans might be interested in this deal on Amazon…1:24 Revell ‘68 Beetle kits for $12 and change each… 

https://a.co/d/fcsJIJ8

I ordered a few, knowing at some point I’ll find a use for them…

No affiliation with the seller, just sharing a good deal I found…

Got my delivery of Bugs!

Came in a nice Revell box - I assume that’s what they send out to dealers:

I was concerned these were mis-listed and would be 1:32 scale or something  weird, but nope, just as described!

Superb! I'm checking out Amazon here in the UK hopefully for the same deal! Er no not in the UK!

That was a good deal.   I think I must have just misted out on it.   When I checked it was out of stock.   Now they're available again but at $20.

Hello,

Badger 100 SG airbrush. My intention is to dedicate it for small details.

Badger 200 airbrush kit. Intended for clear coat exclusively. As a bonus, this seems to be maybe a 70's kit?

Ismael, your Badger 200 kit looks pristine and unused. The price on the box is killing me. Only $29.95 for a Deluxe Kit!

Think of how old the compressed air in those cans of Propel must be! LOL

The Badger 100 SG looks to be in equally good condition. Both of these airbrushes are great purchases.

My 4th grail arrived yesterday from Switzerland. It's an EFBE BI Hinged. These were hand made in Germany. They work the same way the Grafo and Hansa brushes do. You can't push down on the trigger, just pull the trigger back for paint flow. The foam in the upper part of the case deteriorated behind the blue piece. I'm looking for something to replace it with.The air valve connection is not one I have and the adapter didn't come with it. I have found a place in the UK where I can buy what I need but the adapter is out of stock right now. I'll get a notification once it's back in stock.

Beautiful EFBE! How is the air controlled? Does it start when you pull back for paint? 

Yes it does. It takes some getting used to when your mind-set is accustomed to pushing the trigger down first. My Gabbert is the same way and I used it on a project. It was a different experience.

My friend strikes again at the thrift store,the 67 Barracuda box is for the one I got a couple weeks ago and has the missing front bumper.  This stuff keeps on coming and will not ever need to buy a new kit and I have plenty to restore now.

First order back into one of my previous favorite vendor pre-pandemic. Media Mix Hobbies out of Singapore provided these. They are the 3 ST165 Celicas (89/90/91)  and the Safari Rally version of the TA64 Celica which are early Beemax kits. These fill in the missing Marlboro logos on those 4 kits (this was before BeeMaNuNu started putting those items into the Detail Up Sets).  Also lurking in the back is the Carbon Fiber for the Tamiya 2022 Nissan Z.

Bought all this stuff yesterday local. 5 pro stock dusters total (each box contains 2 cars), Original issue Ala kart still in bags, monte carlo is still in bags and the 80s kits are all in bags. The javelin is complete and in good condition.

Went to a local model show and picked up a few goodies. '57 Pontiac sedan resin body(if anyone knows the maker I'd love to know!), paid $5 ea for the '60 Comet, '62 Fairlane and '60 Merc convertible annuals to add to my growing collection of annual projects to restore, 60% of a 1/12 '67 Monogram Corvette for $10. Not pictured 2 1/16 Entex Model T Ford kits and an MCW 1951-52 Oldsmobile Sedan kit. My 2 sons went with and we stopped for pizza afterwards. Not a bad way to spend the day!
