Straightliner59 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 7 hours ago, A modeler named mike said: Another day, Another delivery. That 510 and its companion 240Z are beautiful kits. My 510 is an Advent kit. I recently realized that I had acquired three of the 240Zs!! One is in an original box, just like the first one I had, about 50 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewetwo Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I got these recently. The Barracuda is repainted the closest I could get to it's original color. Needed a repaint. Plus I used the Revell Chrome on the front and rear bumpers. Couldn't get the wheels to come off the axels. So one front tire white wall isn't great. The Caddy is a snap kit with a coat of Revive It to make it shiny. I didn't want to detail them. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My luck at two tone (body and roof of the Caddy) is horrible. Just threw a black and silver Oldsmobile into the purple pond for the 3rd time. And I have a 59 El camino where once again spray found their way under the taped parts of the body. Inside the rear bed. I tried sanding the over spray off. Nope. So I think I'll put the bed cover on and go on from there. If I tried to do the Caddy is would never make it into the display case. At 69 quickly approaching 70. I've learned my limits and respect them so I don't get so frustrated. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niteowl7710 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 On the eBay shipping discussion of the last couple of pages. You don't *have* to use eBay's shipping services. The benefit to the seller is so long as the package arrives to the 3rd Party repack for DHL then you're covered if it never arrives at the other end. That ends up being on the 3rd Party & DHL. If you go around and ship it yourself via USPS or UPS and it no shows, there is no such protection provision. So sellers who already don't sell much Internationally have no incentive to work with Buyers. Onto more exciting things, receiving International Parcels. Fresh from Hong Kong. Of special interest to BMW fans and collectors this new Beemax 320i is a massaged and added onto (new parts tooled) Dragon BMW 320i. Finally after about 3 decades the fate of the Dragon tooling is solved. I'd love to get the back story as to where it's been, and how BeeMaNuNu got ahold of it. They've reingraved every sprue with "NuNu Hobby" on them so they now own this tooling. I would presume it would also allow them to release the E36 M3 race cars as well. It's was a matter of intrigue because there was no press about this kit and it's contents going into the release, but I sat down and compared the two and they're the same tool. Also that Hasegawa 318i is a kissing sister of the Dragon tooling that Hasegawa did their own tweaks to and produced their own kit out of, but the same design engineer came up with the whole ball of wax. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
