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.

Ford GT has not made it to my HL yet..

My 32 roadster kit arrived.  

I still haven’t built my 32 roadster from the FIRST issue that I bought a few of when it first was released (the red streetrod version), but I was still excited for this to arrive today ?

Love these Hasegawa Mooneyes themed kits. Not cheap, but they look so cool when done. And I also finally got my Garwood

Some time back I snagged a Modelhaus '57 Mercury Monterey hardtop...

Picture 8 of 11

...specifically to build the 180mph Mermaid:   https://www.jalopyjournal.com/?p=6535

Just A Car Guy: 1957 Mercury Monterey Mermaid

 

When I was a kit I always wanted a Mercury Turnpike Cruiser. The one with the antenna pods one each end at the top of the windshield.

Went in with a friend to purchase a collection and pics of my half of the kits.  Most are sealed and will be going on ebay soon.  Contact me if you're interested in any.  I think the old 3 in 1 kits are fairly rare.

You can't have enough GTO's...

Looks like a lifetime worth of kits. These would all be very desirable to a collector, but from strictly a builder standpoint Round 2 has reissued all of these a few times over.  That said, the fine details on the bodies and other parts should be much sharper than reissues using well-worn molds.

No, no you can’t. That’s Italeri rebox, imo the best looking kit save for tires/wheels. Though wheels serviceable. RoG reboxed Protar later, but rear fenders are mess on it. I don’t have that issue. ?

I had exactly this one back in 1988, built it, but used the numbers/roundels for my Esci SWB back then. I also have several Italeris, 2 Fujimis, 1 Gunze and the Revell (ex.-Protar) which looks like the hunchback from Notre-dame and will only be used with a resin conversion body.

Finally got a 240RS at a semi decent price.  Need these specific Enkei wheels for other projects and will put this one in the build rotation.  
 

I have the factory sales brochure from the old group B days….F53C0B6A-CD92-482A-ACC3-D451D5D5CC3F.thumb.jpeg.23accd931b0548ea21701320df3929f8.jpeg
