NOBLNG Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) What did I get today….I don’t know yet!? I got a Christmas gift certificate from the wife’s sister for the local hobby shop. And the hobby shop is closing its doors tomorrow to walk-in traffic. They will have on-line shopping for pickup or delivery only until who knows when?? So I guess I should go and get something….but its -43C right now with the wind chill!? Edited December 29, 2021 by NOBLNG

I always wonder, where's that wind chill in the summer, when we could use it? How come you NEVER hear a TV weatherman say in August, "It'll be 96 degrees tomorrow, but with the wind chill, it'll be a balmy 78!" 1 1

Don't let the erroneous 1/24 scale put you off. The C1 transkit is for Revell's 1/25 2009 Challenger. Chris Hales did not always get the scale reference correct. I think it is partially, that being from the UK, he is used to most car kits being of 1/24 scale.

Yes, Hobby Sense. He sure has a lot of stock there. Really, I’m in no hurry, but I do hate shopping online. I’ve been out twice today and its only -26C, or -36C with the windchill the weather channel says, but it doesn’t seem anywhere near that cold.?
cobraman Posted December 29, 2021 Posted December 29, 2021 Oh, that looks nice ! All I got was some Tamiya primer and paint from Burbank House of Hobbies. They ship quick !

Was out today and home by 1:00 and the sun sure makes a difference..Check AccuWeather..Its from the US but is accurate to almost the hour..Not like the Canadian weather stuff..

89AKurt Posted December 30, 2021 Posted December 30, 2021 Don't get excited, the only new thing in the picture is the #22 decals for Nick Mason's car. Found on eBay, Diseno from Spain (lemansdecals.co).

Not sure yet if I'm gonna go with the C1 transkit or just get the Motormax diecast and repaint. Or maybe I'll do both!

When I was searching for it the other night, the most prevalent color seemed to be green, but yesterday I got a promo email from Diecasmodelswholesale listing them in black. Might want to check eBay for them, too--often other colors are available there when the main retailers are out of them.

I’ll check eBay and Amazon to see if I can find it in blue. Thanks again! Edited January 1, 2022 by Safire6
