Nice haul! I have a soft spot for the Corvette America (have an unbuilt one here plus the remnants of the poor thing that I threw together in the '80s). Are those Aoshima wheels the really wide ones? I used some on a Monogram Corvette C2, they looked really good, but I did trim them down slightly and maybe fit some different tyres.

Norm sent me sum stuff.

I'm hoping to shorten it to an SWB to depict one of our eldest sons first cars, a lightweight SWB used by paratroopers.

Update 17.06.23 ak have come out with an SWB Lanny today, Blast!

Heard n seen good things of the revell chrome so had to try it was $54 cause of shipping. Got the caliper at harbor freight cause they’re very useful in the hobby.

Picked up some great deals  at show in Sharon Pa yesterday, plus some from the mail.

Once or twice a year, my small town does a community "garage sale" downtown. Close the roads, and people can buy a table for I think $20.

At least a 100 tables at yesterday's sale. 

A fair number of plane kits scattered around, lots of diecast. And exactly one table with model cars. Well, I couldn't leave empty handed!

I was tempted by a few things, but ultimately decided on two that needed to come with me. 

He had them listed at $15 each, but took $20 for the pair.

Both were box open, but all original bags still sealed. Both 100% complete.

I got this on Tuesday for the Cadillac engine and the chassis parts.

This is one of my all-time favorite kits. Until six years ago, or so, I'd never even owned one. At that time, I acquired an unpainted, (albeit very cleanly) built one. The box is in very nice shape, there are a few extra parts in there, and the model looked nice enough to just put it in my display case, as it was. I didn't feel like I needed another, after all, I have my "grail". Today, I got an email notification that there was a new listing on Ebay. I had to see what outrageous price someone was asking for a built-up version that was not in anywhere near the shape mine's in. I found this--I don't know what etiquette dictates, I've no intent to be rude, but, for $100 plus shipping--I couldn't pass this up! I mean...what a beauty!

[OldNYJim]

Nice find! ⬆️

 

I picked up one of these from eBay, just because my stash of 34 Ford trucks was getting low and I didn’t have this particular version:

$18 SHIPPED, which seemed like a deal…

And these are cheap on Amazon right now…also $18 and change shipped if you have Prime:

Be warned tho - that’s exactly how Amazon shipped it to me…just in a clear bag with the standard Amazon label on the back.  It made it safe and intact, but I’m surprised they didn’t even throw it in a box…

[HomerS]

I didn't need it as I know I have another one in the stash, but for $50 F/S I couldn't say 'no'

LOVE these old monogram kits!  About a year ago I found an unpainted builit up too.  It was put together with regular white glue.  Basically fell apart in my hands and the glue flakes right off.
