LL3 Model Worx Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 On 11/1/2022 at 2:26 AM, Spottedlaurel said: A few odds and ends which have recently arrived: I like these basic Monogram kits, despite the low parts count they build up nicely. Wire wheels are not intended for the TR7.... Been after a Celica Liftback for a while. Not sure if I'll build mine as per the box art, as usual it's essentially a road car kit with extra parts in the box. Bumpers are unchromed. First used the 'chrome' Gundam Marker at the weekend. Not a replacement for BMF, but easier to apply in some circumstances - I did some deeply recessed headlight bowls and they look really good. I was pleased to finally get this version of the RX-7, as I already have a couple of the earlier version. This one seems to be an older release and unusually for Tamiya it has an accessory wheel set included. I want to combine the circuit racing parts of the Escort with the rally car kit (which has different arches) to create a loose replica of a National Hot Rod short oval racer, like this: I've got a regular "stock" lift back kit if you'd be interested in a swap...?

Thanks, but sadly I fear that shipping to/from the UK would not be favourable. In any case, looks like some JDM Liftbacks did have body-colour bumpers, and I'm unlikely to build mine completely stock anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks... ya know, I'm excited about all of them but as many times as it's been out of the years I've never built the 55. I'm actually the most excited about that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Wheels from Casey's Forward Resin. Among the highest quality resin parts I've ever seen, easily up there with Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSchnell Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Nothing too exciting but picked up a '67 Vette and VW Beetle at HL. I'm surprised they didn't re-price the Beetle with the higher price like the new Revell inventory! I'm trying to work a deal on a 1:1 Corvette so my kit buying money might be limited for a while! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) Another semi-grail, the old Howmet turbine car, almost complete and unmolested. Missing a couple of small parts I can easily make. I already had the open "Can-Am" version it got retooled into, but I'd always wanted a model of the historically-correct real car. Paid more than I wanted to, but a good bit less than I've seen them go for, so I'm content.

Ace-Garageguy Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 The built late Ford J-car I got cheap ended up missing more parts than I'd thought, so when I came across this semi-virgin for semi-reasonable money I sprung for it. Using it for patterns for the missing parts on the other one, I should be able to come up with a complete painted version, and one full clear-body version. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C. Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Just bought another one of my "holy grails" from eBay. 1970 Revell Charger R/T. It was a little more than I wanted to spend but that one is out of the way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Nunes Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Purchased these at HL this afternoon. Had the '70 Buick GSX and the '70 Roadrunner on the shelf too; will pick them up on the next 40% off week. BTW, Joyce picked out the '53 Studebaker Starliner in the metal container...cool beans!
