Nice kits and good price!  My Walmart doesn’t carry models!

The Demons and Chevelles were $24.97 each, the others were $19.97 each

Arrived today via mail (ebay Germany): I stumbled over this fine body kit (made in Italy by BRM, intended to become a 1/24 slot racer) with crisp details and even photo-etched parts which will be turned into a static model using the old Heller 512 S as a donor kit for chassis, drivetrain and interior: It comes with 3 different versions of rear wings and compares very well with Fisher's Sunoco 512 M:

A small box of spare parts for two nice rebuilders arrived in the mail at my house just a short time ago from the same E Bay vendor in Seattle that I recently got the Lotus racer from. I didn't have them in my parts stash but he certainly did and cheap to boot.

An already started one of these. I just hope that the decals are 100%!

Now that is a good-looking body kit.  I am impressed with how smooth and shiny the body is.  Thanks for sharing.

Needed a few supplies why not add a couple kits to the order. Scale Hobbyist has great prices!

I have been on the fence about buying Revell's 1985 Camaro Z28.  After seeing a couple of builds of this kit on this forum and watching HPI Guys video I decided to buy the kit.  I went to Hobby Lobby the other night and bought it.  I was pleasantly surprised by the level of detail for a snap kit.  It has a very nice decal sheet.  Now I just need to get some tire decals for it.

Some new tools to use in my attempts to improve my skills.

Love the Tamiya scriber.  I have a number of different scribers and use each in different circumstances and the Tamiya is very controllable (except at corners) and leaves a clean cut.

Nice Carl. Your Ollies doesn't get models and the 2 Walmarts by me don't get models. I guess it sort of works out. LOL

Picked up this built-up for $10 at the sale the other day along with the paint and Pie Wagon. Whoever had it before was a HEAVY smoker. So, today it goes into a soak of Lysol cleaner and warm water. Next will be a good scrubbing. May pull the engine for use in something else and make this a curbside.

Later-

You had a big supply haul.  409 is good on cigarette stains…
