Mike C. Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Picked this up on febay for cheap because it was missing the spare tire (which I have many of in the parts bin) and the instruction sheet. I got inspired from this board to get one of these. They seem to build up pretty nice. A Wheel/tire change is the first thing. I haven't built a CJ7 before. Should be cool. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW93 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 My haul from yesterday at the MDA model show/swap in Roanoke VA. SC/Rambler was missing the body, glass etc but had 98% of the parts with a partially assembled engine & chassis. Most likely going to list the parts (less the box)on the trade forum. Parts would be perfect for someone restoring one. Also got 3 full sets of 5 wheel covers from the original issue AMT 34 Ford PU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool Hand Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Finally an Australian car is available in plastic. DDA the manufacturer shot some styrene through a die cast mould to produce these kits. Modular base kit which allows for 4 different versions. Still waiting for the 4th variant to arrive which is a GTS Monaro. Holden HQ Sedans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CabDriver Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I too got Issue 218 in the mail this week - looks like another great issue! Plus, this set of Createx paints is $20-odd on Amazon right now which is a great deal…plus I did my bi-annual order of scalpel blades whilst I was ordering anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I learned about the Vivant one-off show car a few years ago. I have a contact (Jim Simpson) on Fakebook who makes resin models, he posted this and I *had to* get it. It's based on a Pontiac, he has the correct wheels, it's a curbside. It fits in with the other weird finned cars I have to build someday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I just received my first full 3D printed kit in the mail! And it came to me from DiOlex Productions in the Ukraine. This is a 1978 Corolla Deluxe wagon. I had one of these back in the day. Back when new US cars were troublesome right out of the gate, this car was flawless from new and fun to drive with the 5 speed. I couldn't take any better photos than provided on the eBay listing so here they are! The work is very very nice and everything fits together well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will you use to fill in the missing components? The hood is integral with the body, and yet the chassis is open where the engine would be located.
