Bought this today.
Brings back alot of memorys from when i was little and my dad sometimes drove a Volvo f12 dumptruck when his N12 dumptruck was at the shop getting repaired.
I also drove one from time to time when i worked as a mechanic to pull trailers in to the shop.
I could have bought the new release from Italeri but for a true scandinavian truck they always have 3 axles to be able to handle the wintermonths.

Maybe i make it in to the dumptruck my dad used to drive or i try to make it look like revells volvo f12 australia did, or just stock and paint it like the one i used to drive from time to time during my 7 years as a truck mechanic.

Last night while searching for one of the headers for the future1/16 Nomad project I'm amassing for, I found all of these. Off road tire/wheel sets that I completely forgot I bought many years ago. Now I have to find some projects to use them on. This morning I raced out to the Lobby (they still have 40 percent off model kits) and grabbed a Firestone F 150. I have some extra blue metallic that would look nice.20211204_082253.thumb.jpg.5db0b0137ef2e2898e109f1fda562ae5.jpg20211204_082309.thumb.jpg.228f5e29047b67bdcbc8a8c1d966037a.jpg20211204_125209.thumb.jpg.92e6fa3992e8211708b42acc86e32179.jpg20211204_082253.thumb.jpg.5db0b0137ef2e2898e109f1fda562ae5.jpg20211204_125044.thumb.jpg.7f99c78a78ae8e4389e7ba6fa1622c84.jpg20211204_125209.thumb.jpg.92e6fa3992e8211708b42acc86e32179.jpg20211204_125044.thumb.jpg.7f99c78a78ae8e4389e7ba6fa1622c84.jpg20211204_125044.thumb.jpg.7f99c78a78ae8e4389e7ba6fa1622c84.jpg20211204_125044.thumb.jpg.7f99c78a78ae8e4389e7ba6fa1622c84.jpg

Nice, I've never seen those available as accessory sets before.

I remember getting them off of ebay. This was so long ago that I completely forgot that I bought so many sets. I can only remember seeing the Aoshima set on that 4 door Toyota Hilux recently. The really big Set is from the So Real '75 Blazer I posted a few weeks ago. I was thinking of saving them for a 1/18 project. Clean off your benches boys! You never know what you forgot you had. Especially when you get past 55. ?

Picked up the Atlantis Mooneyes dragster at my LHS - last one on the shelf.

Came home and my order from Jimmy Flintstone was waiting for me.  Good way to end the work week.

An opportunity presented itself last week...my good friend George Bojaciuk posted up some products available from "Canuck 3D model parts" ....being items of projects deep in my sub-conscience.... I pulled the trigger.   I bought the 1973 Chevrolet Monte Carlo conversion (front header panel/grill, w/ headlamp lenses,front bumper,tail light panel, rear bumper & added the stock full front bench seat) also snagged the '98 - '02 s10 front grill with light lenses & valance, & added the bucket seats with console.    Wow!!    Wylde's products are absolutely stunning!    THX George!!    Wylde!   ....I'll be hittin' up your site real short-like!!

I'm sure I'm on a mission to build some of the worst kits I've heard about, Lol. I picked this '73 Mustang up to see if the rumours are true. The '69 Country Charger and '77 Pinto certainly didn't disappoint in regards to what's labelled as a "bad kit" Since I picked up model building again I think I've found the type of building I like, rough but simple kits that need a little more than just gluing together.

I jus had to get this one. Sealed for 54$ inc shipping. Not much for sealed kits so if anyone have one to trade that is complete body wise, since I don’t care for any other parts in it, but opened I can be open for such a trade.

If no one have one to trade this one will be opened ?

Picked this up - I wanna build a detailed-up ‘70 Chevy pickup, and apparently this makes a good donor for the frame and suspension and whatnot…

The Beemer is sealed.

I don't remember ever seeing that one. Folks seem to want a lot of money on FleaBay for them.

Built that one when it first came out in the late 70's.  Not a bad kit for the time.

Got my MPC 'USA-1' '74 Vega Pro Stock kit reissue today...haven't had a chance yet to compare it with the earlier Grumpy's Vega '72 release.
