I agree with Tom. Great score.Craig.

[Sam I Am]

Awesome score!

[lordairgtar]

Nice score. Wish I had the blue Anglia

[Captain Spaulding]

That's a great stash Carmak, lots of good ones in there. Is the Movin on Kenworth all there?

[unclescott58]

I agree. A good haul. Some fun stuff in there. Even that blue Lindberg roadster. A very simple, but, in my opinion, kool looking kit.

Just got home from hobby lobby, grabbed another 29 ford and a Duster. 40% off all kits again.

Great score! I wish Revell, or Atlantis, would re-issue the Ice Patrol Chevy Pick up! One of my fave childhood kits.

One of my "Go to" suppliers of AMT kits here in the UK have just had these delivered, they only had 2 left, it was rude just to buy the one.....

I got a hell of a surprise today, a box of paint from Jameston at Scalefinishes, I am just speechless. He sent me one his mystery paint boxes

Hey, you're lucky I bought one of the older issues of this kit, otherwise I'd be having words with you buying the last two!  xD

Be interesting to see the differences between the Lindberg and the new AMT release.

I compared it with a Lindberg one and besides the box, the differences seem to be the instruction sheet (redone in AMT style) and the decal sheet (expanded in the AMT version, but with some missing).

I was looking on Scalemates site, I might be wrong, did the mould start out as a Jo-Han in the 60's? Always interesting knowing the history and changes of a kit.

No, this Belvedere tooling started in the 90s at Lindberg.   Jo-han made a '64 Fury back in the 60s, but that was a different kit.

ah, ok, thanks. Shame Jo-Han isn't around anymore, though I have heard the Lindberg kit is excellent.

How do you guys know all this stuff about different kits from way back?

I have a lot of kits in my stash, been in the hobby 40+ years, been hanging out here and on other forums for 15+ years, been reading model magazines since the 80s...lots of information goes around. 

[crazyjim]

I've been building since 1958 and have nothing near such knowledge.

You really can't trust what you see on that site. I think about 75% of the pages I've seen there have major mistakes on them.

Just curious, can you tell us what was in the "Mystery Box"??
