Stumbled across this at a local auction.  Final price about the cost of an AMT semi @ HL on a regular price week

I'll trade a AMT semi from HL for that? ;)

I didn’t technically GET these today - but any VW fans might be interested in this deal on Amazon…1:24 Revell ‘68 Beetle kits for $12 and change each…

I ordered a few, knowing at some point I’ll find a use for them…

No affiliation with the seller, just sharing a good deal I found…

I've got one of those. Looks like a beautiful kit. Now to get off my dead backside and build it someday soon. Please post photos of yours when you build it.

Later-

Snuck one in the cart. Hopefully my wife will do her "I didn't look in the cart I just paid" and it will show up at my door.

Probably work on it sometime. Finally got my moving situation sorted. It’s definitely gonna be BMF heavy.

For today read the last month or so....

These came as one single Buy It Now listing. The Nissan GT-R in the middle is started but complete (the remainder of it not pictured here). Bought individually at retail this would all have cost considerably in excess of what I paid, part of which I have already recouped by selling the Subaru kit.

I'm reaching the conclusion that I have plenty of complete car kits, apart from a few gaps that I 'need' to fill, so I'm concentrating more on buying wheels and accessories.

Buying this one meant I could add my standard version to the 'for sale' pile. Just the way it's packed is so carefully considered, with the separate holder for the photo-etch parts and metal intake trumpets, let alone the great detailing on this kit.

Neither of these are quite complete, and one is started, but there's enough to build one decent track day car out of the two plus spare parts for other builds. Again it meant I could sell a road car version.

This is the sort of thing I am enjoying adding to the stash. Bodywork has been neatly brush-painted, hopefully that will strip back OK although it might just need some gentle polishing. I'm thinking some sympathetically chosen wheels fitted in the right place with a bit of lowering and fitment of one or two of the accessories (not the sidepipes!) will make it look pretty sharp. Will go well with the Ford EXP I got recently (also an Airfix rebox of an MPC kit) and the '80s Chargers.

Despite all of the above I have ended up with less kits than I started the month as I sold a few at a 1:1 car show. Now trying to refine the collection....

My Kijiji purchases that arrived today from my favourite seller! My favourite un-supercar, supercar, Tamiya 1st generation Honda NSX-R! The very brief fan car in F-1, Tamiya Brabham-Alfa-Romeo BT46. This is not the fan car kit, which is offered by Fujimi, but rather I believe the followup car. The forever purposeful looking Fujimi Porsche 930 Turbo Enthusiast kit. The very clean lines of the F-1, Ferrari 642, with the bonus being it is a Rosso kit. the Fujim Skyline 2000 GT-B was a much appreciated bonus kit, included by the seller.

Just got mine (1) today. Thanks for the heads up. I fondled this kit a few times at HL, but never bought one.
