What did you get today? (Model Car Related Items)

[TonyK]

Hopefully those kits are a good deal. At the very least, a lot of cool old box art.

Mine, too!

That's maybe the 40 LaSalle grill and not the 38?

I have that grille but mine only has the horizontal pe part,

Was it narrower, and more rounded on top?   That sounds like the '40 LaSalle grille.

Grabbed a few needed things at the Hobbytown USA in Kennesaw GA today while I was in the Atlanta area and as an added bonus, had lunch with ZoomZoom too!

You may be right. I'll have to dig it out, and have a look.

Went to the 3 Rivers Auto Modelers show in Pittsburgh over the weekend. I have too many kits as it is so I wasn't looking for anything. Grabbed a couple of OOP SJR Oldsmobiles.

Also at the show, much to my besmusement I got a 3rd Place for my recently completed NuNu BMW 320i. Took it just to show as it's the first thing Ive drug across to a finish since 2019. It's not particularly great in my own eyes, and I wouldn't have placed it over other builds in the class, but any given Sunday and all of that.

Also in the mail this morning the 3 newest sheets (which are some months old at this point) from RacingDecals43.

Super BMW well done!

Got my shipment from MegaHobby. The were having a sale on the Manx. So I grabbed 2 for the parts for the up  coming Baja bug kit. I couldn't fit the factory type grill on the Revell Chevy van so I scrapped the whole project for this Foxy Boxy kit.  It comes wit the factory grill in the kit. So now I'm combining the 2 kits . Should be cool. Also my latest Fireball order arrived.  Joseph was kind enough to make me some KC Daylighter decals. 4 in 1/16 so I can use them on the big Revell Chevy pickup. One thing I thought was strange.  Joseph must have changed his formula for his super swampers.  The new ones are light grey and sort of hard. I guess I'll have to paint them.

 

To have just one Meyers Manx would be enough, but the kit plus shipping to the UK is out of my league!

Super smooth and clean casting !

I was at the Classic Plastic Model Car Show this morning in Lawrence Mass. and scored six built cars including a 1962 Chevy Nova rag top and a 1976 Dodge Dart both of which were very nicely done. I also took time out to check out the models that were in the contest and I was totally blown away by the details on many of them. I had a great time.

Hobby Lobby score. The 50 Chevy, Camaro, and the Ford GT were clearance. The Charger was 40% off. Don't know why I got the GT Lemans, I know nothing about those type race cars.
