These are purchases from the Group 25 contest, 2024-09-28

The Tamiya AlfaRomeo because it's an awesome kit of an awesome sports car.

 

The Hasegawa Lola T90-50 because I like open wheel race cars.

 

The Atlantis Fireball Dragster to feed the masochist in me! LOL

Picked up this promo cheap…I’m not really a promo guy (or that much of a Vette guy) but I liked it enough for it to follow me home…

Picked up another bucket list kit yesterday.

Porsche. I saw this built up by a fellow modeler and it was really nice. The only thing is it does not have an engine. Curb side.

Snagged two complete unstarted first-release vintage Revell kits for about $20 each at one of the "antique" malls.

Each factory priced at $2, so accounting for inflation, not a bad deal.  

These are two of my all time favorite kits that I built as a teen, and the nostalgia fix is well worth a few bucks to me. And though both of 'em have a reputation as being "fiddly", I think they're two of the best offerings to ever come from a US manufacturer.

Later releases of the '31 Ford came as either Tudor or Woody, without all the extra parts in the box to build the alternative version.

Little tire melt from one of the Anglia's slicks on one door, but everything else is A-OK.

This has to be one of my favorite kits from Tamiya. Builds up so nice and the fact that it is a curbside, but a really well detailed curbside, doesn't affect the sense of satisfaction when you are done. 

Plus there are some really cool decals out there for this kit.

NO KIDDING !!! I am SO impressed. Those hydraulic fittings are nearly perfect. I have also found  their pe is easy to bend and stays put. They have the detail down pat. I am almost not able to build now without it…. It is well worth the money.

Nice haul!

[carsntrucks4you]

The new Strato Models Kenworth 925 Needle Nose kit. 

Kit contains a photoetched chassis like the ones from A&N Trucks. A nice Cummins NH engine without turbo. Rear suspension is a KW torsion setup. The fith wheel seems to be an ASF. The quality is out. A Kenworth S925 is planned for 2025

As far as I know all kits are sold out.

@niteowl7710 nice finds. What are kit prices like now in person? Cash I presume? From a person or a registered hobby shop? 

[Technics]

Rally fever. I’m thinking of opening up the boot lid and hinging the doors on this one. Would be a first for me. Oh and simulate the actual car Colin rolled on this rally and continued travelling 10/10ths completing the event.

I presume we're talking about the kits from the show?  At any rate they came from the tables set up by my local hobby shop.  I could have driven out there to pick them up any day they were open, but the model show was on my way home from work, so in my mind I had bonus gas savings. ? I did pay cash, though they do take CCs on site at shows.  I suspect the CC transactions get sales tax added.  C8 was $27, Charger was $28, and the two Moebius Dodges were $31@
