A modeler named mike Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Delivered today. A promo car of what my wife drove when we first dated many moons ago. Hers was a 1980, same color exterior but with tan interior. With a little buffing and paint it'll be a decent rendition of her ride. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 Last weekend I stopped by at a local Hobby Shop here in Finland to buy one Revell silver paint and Tamiya's Lacquer Thinner. Well, in addition to those, I had to have MPC's new '71 Dodge Demon as there was one of those on the shelf. I'm pretty sure I want to build it factory stock with the 340 engine. Today I picked up a 1968 reissue of an AMT '57 Ford Fairlane. Couple of parts have been glued together and chassis has been painted, but otherwise it's complete and unstarted. I'm leaning towards either a Traditional Custom or a Gasser, but let's see which one I'll end up with when I start building. Another package had a 3D printed model kit of a '73 Chevrolet Chevelle. I don't know who has made the file, but it was printed in Sweden. It's definitely one of the better 3D printed products that I've had, but of course it's still a lot of work before it's anywhere near primer or paint. Anyway, a really nice product and in my opinion, worth the money. I think I'll be using Revell's '67 Chevelle as a donor kit, to build a factory stock Chevelle SS with a big block. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ment who printed it since he bought it from Sweden i was thinking of our fellow member that sells allot on T(radera) Swedish E(Bay). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it came from GhostMan. Everything worked so well and the quality is pretty good so I don't think it's my last 3D printed kit, as they have some other interesting vehicles as well... Especially the Wagon is cool, I will definitely need at least one of them. I just hope someone would do a 1974 conversion so I don't have to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised at the high prices on some the chevette promos. I just got lucky. I'd still like to have a chevette model kit but they're getting a bit pricey too, but what isn't!! 🤔... Come to think of it I couldn't tell you when the last time was when I saw a chevette on the road. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chevette kit was reissued a few times in the 80s and I hope the molds are somewhere in storage waiting to be discovered. I built one of these in the 90s and remember it being a pretty nice model. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ‘79 (‘Bear Bait’) was MPC’s last Chevette annual, pretty sure it has never been reissued. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Hall Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 At the Plastic Unlimited show (Akron, Oh area) I got an MCW resin '70 El Camino kit and a few parts kits (Revell '76 Torinos, etc) for some future builds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 (edited) More stuff that was too cheap to let slide...that I'll really try to get to by 2070. The Mack trucks give me a complete set of the series, some of which are decent builtups. One of 'em (I have a couple extras) will eventually be an AP Mack as used on the Hoover Dam project. EDIT: And how cool is this? Also...a Heller R8 Gordini, because I saw a nice build on this very board. I figger a better pair of carbs and a couple other upgrades is all she needs. Ferrin restaurant owner friendamine longtime back ran a couple Gordinis and a Porsche 911 as his dailys, and I did a lot of work on 'em.
