bandit1 Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 Got 2 of these kits in the mail the other day... As well as finally getting my hands on the 34 Slammer kit... Turns out I'm surprised that it's a Snap kit via the instructions say I can... But it needs painted but no paint diagram... Wonder what's suppose to be what color??? 1

A modeler named mike Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 This weeks mail call. I bought the Shelby parts kit to complete another SnakeBite kit. The others are either sealed or open and complete. Side note.. I've been admiring some of the purchases made by others and some of those kits have been on my radar such as the 1/32 jaguar mentioned. I've passed it up multiple times due to uncertainty of the kits quality. Hearing the interactions about those said kits have given me some insight on which I might want to obtain or ditch. Thanks! 4
RSchnell Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 Picked up a few things at the Modelpalooza show today. The '66 Galaxie convert was a nice surprise, the '63 Merc is an empty box but for $5 I couldn't pass it up. The 1/16 '57 Corvette was $10 so it followed me home as well. 3
OldNYJim Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 Hit the Duneland show today. Got some good raffle prize wins: Most of which I never would have specifically PICKED, which makes them fun…gets the mind whirring with ideas. Oh, and this one, which didn’t fit in my photo booth: I picked up the Flathead version of this kit last year at the same show, and was excited that they had the Offie version this year (actually, there were like seven of them for sale, but only really ‘NEED’ one…) This box art on this AMT T isn’t the best, but it’s apparently a decent kit so I added that to the stash: I particularly like the weird little truck version: One for my (as yet unstarted) collection of Roth builds: Another ugly duckling box art - I’ve had a 49 Merc on my to-build list for a while, but I won’t be taking any styling suggestions from Barris…this thing looks like if Ronald McDonald were the Joker in the Batman movies and needed a vehicle: The club had some pretty cool little goodie bags too…they had some supplies, a nice scalpel (with extra blades!) and stickers and stuff…I added the 50-cent-a-pair custom seats and $1 paints myself… Oh, and a few trophies too, but the fun of the show is the important part… 1

Rob Hall Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 At the Akron Plastic Underground show yesterday got a neat ‘70s AMT Indy Car kit, 3 early ‘90s AMT kits, and 3 sets of sweet Z-Man wheels. 1

John M. Posted October 15, 2023 Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) I just got an AMT 1962 Ford convertible from E Bay on the cheap and it's got the barn find look. The only question is, should I keep it that way or give it a complete bath. The photo of it is from E Bay. Edited October 16, 2023 by John M. 1

Don't need ya getting the wrong things

The only question is, should I keep it that way or give it a complete bath. The photo of it is from E Bay. Yes, as Sledsel stated, be aware that it is indeed a ‘61 Ford. But that may be to your advantage in the parts search department. Parts could be obtained from the AMT re-pop of the ‘61 Victoria club coupe some years ago that should be still pretty easily available. Steve

Horrorshow Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 This is only a street version, I’m going to make it into a NASCAR racer, I already have the decals, paint, wheels and tires and roll cage. Looks like a pretty simple kit. 2

A modeler named mike Posted October 17, 2023 Posted October 17, 2023 I didn't physically get this model today but I did purchase it today online. It's definitely NOT my normal subject matter but I do like the unusual or weird. This kit is from the 1940's. My thought when I saw it was what would Tom Daniels do with it? Maybe some type of crazy dragster with more than the one horse power it currently allows for..lol 1
