Maindrian Pace Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Today I did something for the first time, got a kit from Walmart. Surprised to see the new Mustang Fastback there. It was $27.95 on the display, but rang up at $21.95. That's less than HL on 40% off week if they carried this kit - which they don't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itâs the typical Chinese booth you can get from Amazon or eBay for round. $99 or so. Different styles, but there bout all the same, and function the same. The one he got is one of the cleaner ones that can fold up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewetwo Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Thank you. I have the previous model and was wondering if there was any improvement. Mine works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine works well. Besides some having 2 fans instead of one, and more lighting, and style. Thatâs bout the only improvement youâll see on these type of booths all in one booths. I think they all use 3K rpm PC fans or industrial pc fans as exhausts.  I own one when I first got in the hobby, but quickly upgraded by building my own using vent works stuff, and than upgraded again to the 36â peace keeper deluxe by pace. Itâs the last booth Iâll ever need for what we do. Edited September 9 by Dpate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 (edited) More beautiful bits from Forward Resin, still some of the highest quality work available, easily in the same game as RepMin. 5-bolt Minilites, stock '32 Ford firewall, post-'39 Ford "juice brakes" backing plates, a few slushboxes, etc. Thanks Casey.            And several kits I've been after for a long time, finally at "reasonable" prices... Testors / Italeri Ferrari Cali Spyder 250GT Another one... Testors / Fujimi BMW 635CSi But wait...there's more... Testors / Fujimi Porsche 930 ...and a sad little Revell Deal's Wheels "Stink Ray", that's going to be something really crazy.     Edited September 10 by Ace-Garageguy 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Just canât justify what theyâre going for on eBay. Â Yup...it took a while to find one I'd pop for. Not many available anyway these days. I got this one for about half the average BIN price, and figgered that was probably as cheap as I'd ever see one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A modeler named mike Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 another two deliveries from eBay showed up today. The '66 rambler station wagon from AJ's vintage model car parts on eBay will more than likely be mated with the AMT '65 Chevelle El Camino chassis, rims and slicks to make it a grocery getter. Those wheel bases seem to match up both width and length perfectly. The AMT Gremlin F/C kit will go on the shelf till later. I had been following that kit for well over a year. âđ Back to the gotta have it list..Next! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
