Now here is the weird part, on eBay it was listed as a stock AMT '63 hood but the picture was not of a '63 hood. I took a chance that it was not a '63 and lucked out. It is a nice casting with under hood detail too. Modelhaus made them, and I think I have a couple. And now I'll have (another) "real" one!

unclescott58 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 This morning the FexEx guy left this at my backdoor. It's a Neo die-cast 1/43 scale Chevrolet Corvair 95 Corvair. I was so impressed with the 2 other Neo Corvair 95s, the Greenbrier and Rampside Pickup, I got a few weeks ago, I decided I wanted the van version too. Lovely models all three. Fantastic detail. Some of the nice 1/43 models I've ever seen. I would not hesitate buying others of their models down the road. In fact. I wonder if they have any Edsels?

unclescott58 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) The mail carrier just dropped this off. An old/new classic. Glad to see it back available. Edited May 15, 2020 by unclescott58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Looks like you're just loading up on non-Cobra kits, Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told him a year or two ago that there was a LOT of fun modeling to be done outside the small world of Cobras, and it looks like he's been taking that advice to heart. Drive on!

cobraman Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I do love my Cobra's but truth be known in my 50 plus years I have built many, many different types of models. I'm on a Ford GT kick right now . Well buying at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Back in business! Supply order arrived from hobbylinc.com in Georgia. I ordered via eBay and chose them before they had the Alclad spray plus the other paint I needed! Colors are Tamiya TS-79 Semi gloss clear and TS-7 Racing White which is a warm white. Last is my favorite color I cannot build without.. Testors Dullcote! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I made an offer on a 7 model lot on the bay . It was accepted and the kits arrived today . Boxes are open but everything there and in untouched condition . Really didn’t want everyone so I may sell or trade off a couple . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to start soon on it though. Are you going to use the stock wire wheels on yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I don't know yet Steve, I haven't looked that deep into it. They bad ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safire6 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 No they don' look too bad. But someone here said that it may look better or more correct if it had Halibrands on it. I kinda like the wires though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I will have to look at mine. Maybe will look better with some black detailer added ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has stuff I had no idea Revell offered. And the catalog doesn't just cover the stuff coming out Europe. There's a section on American stuff. This catalog is cool. I didn't know Revell of Germany was selling IMC's Opel Admiral Saloon. I decided to order one. I also see they're coming out with a model of a VW T2 Bus. Part of their "easy-click-system." From searching on eBay, it does seem to out yet. But, as soon as is, I plan on buying one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 This caught my eye in the Revell catalog too. It says "New Tool." Hopefully a improvement over the old Revel/Aurora kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
