Modlbldr Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Just got this in today. Never seen the bed mounted stereo and it was a surprise since it was not included in the pictures of the sale. Only needs a rear bumper and taillights. Later- 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelson Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Late afternoon arrival yesterday,seller threw in some extra parts.? 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLMFAA1 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 In regard to the entertainment center in the El Camino. It was in the original 3n1 kit and the 1997 release. It's disgusting that scoundrels are re boxing new released parts in old boxes and passing them off as original. I saw this in the EBay listings for the AMT kits. greg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid in the 70's we had a 74 Squire in gold with the woodgrain and this kit although it's a 72 brings back memories,and i agree these kits can be really pricey now.I'm still hoping Missing Link will bring back their 74 GTO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kit was part of a second generation of exotic kits that Monogram released. I don't think it was part of the original line as those were curbsides. This is a really nice kit to build. I think I have one in the stash somewhere. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) Amongst other stuff picked up recently: Bottom right wheels are 15" Gotti by Studio Rosso, a possibility for the Tamiya Nissan 240ZG I'm just about to start. The mesh wheels were another possibility, but not really the look I want to go for. Signs are for a diorama, one day.... The Datsun is something of a Holy Grail kit for me, as I had a 2-door 1200 just like that a few years ago and by harvesting some parts from a Hasegawa Datsun Sunny Truck I have in the stash I should be able to come up with a very close replica of my old 1:1. Materials from a visit to the LHS I'm lucky to have in a nearby town. I want to up my game slightly on detailing and thought I'd try some different paints etc. Talking to the guys in the shop was really helpful, and admiring 1:25 car/truck builds that one of them had done and put on display. Don't get that from a big box store.... Nova felt like something I should have in the stash, it's chassis looks like a useful swap into something else and I could still build the remains as a curbside display piece.

I built the street version when I was a kid. Not bad as I recall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A modeler named mike Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Yesterday's delivery.. The Cavalier was a last minute bid/steal on an auction with low bids. The AOSHIMA kit was one I've had my eye on for quite some time from a Japanese eBay seller, I finally got up the nerve to make the leap from buying only from the ??. I've got two more out of production AOSHIMA JDM kits coming soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got some Gotti's, now I need them in resin! LOL! And yes, the 1200 is killer! I passed on one back in the 80's because it wasn't a 510, and I regret it. The guy only wanted $75 for it! Just had a bad head gasket. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, and the 80s Celica Supra and the Mitsubishi Starion...I could go on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redscampi Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Got this 510 yesterday. One of my needful things cars. The body parts were badly painted but they're out of the pond and came out perfect. Kit is otherwise mint inside the box. The other kits I just won early this morning. I had been watching these for a week or so and the seller finally sent an offer I couldn't refuse. What worked out to $16 each shipped was too good a deal for me to pass on. Seller stated that he didn't know if any were complete, but they look pretty close to me. Will inventory when they arrive. I realize they're not the most desirable but they are all early issues, 60's and 70s kits and this sure beats a trip to Ollies or Walmart to pick over the leavings. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
