cobraman Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Yes I have Carl. I have not had a problem with doing that.
Modlbldr Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 Got my Z kit in hand today. The kit is complete and looks great. I think it will be a fun one. The tires are two piece Good years. Never seen them before. Later-
HomerS Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 Auction win. Yeah I know the Vega is coming back but this is an original (missing the engine)....and it was very cheap
Mike999 Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 Went to Hobby Lobby, still no '67 Chevy 4-door. I did pick up a set of Metalizer paint: Testors Model Master "Fantasy War Figure Colors." These are lacquer paints. I'm not sure how much longer they will be around, so I'm hoarding. The set is a bottle of lacquer thinner and 5 paints: Flat Brass, Flat Aluminum, Flat Steel, Flat Gun Metal, and Flat Burnt Iron. Full retail price is $24.99. I used the handy 40% off coupon on my phone, so it was $15.89.

That looks good, certainly more detailed than the Monogram 280Z I'm doing at present! You've got the engine with triple carb's, what looks to be reasonably detailed suspension and those great wheels. I was looking at my Hasegawa and Fujimi Farlady/Z kits in the week and they don't have that level of detail. The bodyshell looks decent too, it doesn't appear to suffer the 'hooded' effect the Monogram kit has, where the front edge of the roof above the windscreen appears to dip down.

The taxi has the side door open or closed, I think mine will be open. The Nascar kit is suitably detailed. The decals are in amazingly 'new' condition, so great fun there laying those up. The body colour is supposed to be Purple so a new spray can is about to land today! I'm also going to try................. If I need to lower the front as most of the NASCAR kits ride high.

Snake45 Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 FINALLY got a '67 SN Impala. Got tired of waiting for HL to come through and ordered it from Model Roundup. Also got the reissued dirt track '65 Chevelle and '66 Impala, which I am planning to do as a new style I call "refugees from the racetrack loose on the street." Also received my order of over $100 worth of Model Master paints, prolly the last I'll ever be able to buy other than what's left at HL. 2020 has been a very sad year in many ways.

Safire6 Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 My wife's stepfather passed away last Friday in Jackson KY. He was 75 years old and dabbled a bit in model cars. Although he had bad arthritis in both hands, it did not stop him from building. He had a green '68 or '69 Dodge Charger he bought new after he got out of the Navy and he built a nice model of it that his wife still has. His wife, my mother in-law, gave me these. He started on the '32 and '48 Fords but a few of the boxes are still unopened. I want to complete a few of them and give them to his two sons, my wife and mother in-law.
Spottedlaurel Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 A sad reason for getting them, but what you suggest will be a nice way of remembering him.

Spottedlaurel Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 This week's arrivals: 1:24 Hasegawa Subaru Impreza Sports Wagon WRX kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Always good to get a wagon. 1:24 Tamiya Alpine Renault A110 Monte Carlo kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Had one of these in the past but traded it for a load of Tamiya TS spray cans. Very nice kit, always regretted moving it on so was pleased to find this one. Has been started, but nothing too significant and the important bits are intact. 1:24 Tamiya Toyota Celica kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr 1:24 Tamiya Toyota Celica kit by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Ouch. It turned out this was damaged before being shipped to me, the seller genuinely didn't realise and very amicably gave me a partial refund. Might be repairable, I've got nothing to lose by trying.

Mr mopar Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 I finely scored one of these kits ,missed out on the first issue ,but got this one much cheaper .
Bucky Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 Just now, Mr mopar said: I love the Duster plate cool! It looks even better in person. These are from Best Model Car Parts. He sells on eBay. I bet that Ford is pretty big!
Bucky Posted July 31, 2020 Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) These hoods are from Lex's Scale Modeling: Left to right....1971 Dodge Charger...1967 Chevy Impala...1970 Chevy Monte Carlo. I got the following parts to replace the bad ones in a kit I already had: These are supposedly from the new release of the '65 GTO. I also got these extra bits from another seller at the same time. Ya never know which ones you'll "win"! The headlights from both of these look pretty good. Certainly better than the one from the kit I already had: Edited July 31, 2020 by Bucky
