Straightliner59 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I got the Sox And Martin car for a bit less than they typically go for. It's just something I felt like I wanted! I also got a parting tool for the lathe, with six blades. Â 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been looking for a '65 Polara for years. I thought the closest thing was the '65 Monaco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomicholiday Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 This isn’t model car related, but it is a model.  Been looking for it for a while now.  This is for the VK Nieuport 17 I picked up a while back. Sorry if there is another thread for non-car related items.  I didn’t see one.  4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBcritter Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) The '63 Falcon 'vert arrived safe and sound yesterday, so since I was on a roll, I went after another red U.S. compact car: Very clean '74 Hornet promo that was met with indifference by everyone else (no other bidders or watchers) so grabbed it cheeep.

Straightliner59 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 This one came yesterday. I mainly bought it for a chassis for an AMX promo. It needs to be shortened, through the passenger compartment, but looks good, otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSchnell Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Stopped in a local LHS that had tons of secondhand kits. Evidently the owner sold all those to another shop and is concentrating more on R/C. He did have a couple shelves of new kits and scored these for $20 each. May go back and get some more at that price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
