GeeBee Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) Thanks to a good friend in Kentucky, who found this one in Hobby Villa, I've been after one for sometime now, hopefully I'll have it very soon. Edited January 9, 2021 by GeeBee

landman Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 A beautiful outboard in a trade with Sam Grabenhorst (Sam I Am).
mchook Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Came yesterday. I bought it on ebay just before Christmas and we got a pretty good snow storm. The seller was a state over so they got it too so they couldn't send it out right away. I told him it was fine and I was still shoveling too. He wrote me & said because it being mailed late he was adding more to the lot, I thought "cool" and thanked him. So what I ended up with is about 40 models and a pile of parts. Sorry about the crappy pics but you get the idea.

I can't see any ultra-rare or desirable goodies, but it looks like there are several possible interesting "projects" there, and of course a boatload of spare parts! Congratulations!

Spottedlaurel Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 First Belkits model I've bought: I have no interest in building it as a rally car, it'll be a fast-road toy. Happy to see that the standard grille without spotlights and the single-piece sloping rectangular headlights are included. Last weekend I also stocked-up on a few clearance automotive paints, decent value at £3 a tin.
Sam I Am Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 So figure this out. Over a month ago I submitted an Amazon order and added a bottle of Tamiya paint to bring my order to the free shipping minimum, and yes, it showed the item as "in stock". It didn't give me free shipping but I ordered it anyway. I then proceeded to forget about it. Today I received a package in the mail that I could not figure out what I ordered from that particular country. Tamiya paint is made in Japan, distributed through Tamiya America, Irvine California. Yet the package was shipped directly to me from New Taipei, Taiwan...

That Citroen blue looks very nice. I could see it fitting in on a number of 60s American cars. How hot is that paint? Plays nice on styrene with the right primer?

How hot is that paint? Plays nice on styrene with the right primer? That's what I thought about those lighter colours. They seem OK. I'm building two AMT kits at the moment and by coincidence both are being painted with Halfords paint. I put a decent amount of grey primer down first, and one of them got a bit of white Tamiya TS as a base to the light topcoat. One of them is also being sprayed with Halford clearcoat. It's doesn't seem to make the metallic base 'run' like Tamiya TS-13 does sometimes.

Straightliner59 Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 This came today. Arrived very quickly! I have other stuff that's been sitting in the same location for five or six days, now.
ZTony8 Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 I was at Hobby Lobby today and saw that they are carrying GSI Creos Mr. Surfacer 1000 so I used my coupon and bought it.

crazyjim Posted January 10, 2021 Posted January 10, 2021 Not here yet but I ordered a bunch of Model Master paints from Hobbylinc. Tomorrow we're going to Texas Roadhouse and then Hobby Lobby to look for more Model Master paints.
