What did you get today? (Model Car Related Items)

The two newest releases from Alpha Model. The 458 Speciale A is a remastered version of the 4th complete kit they sold way "back when". New decals offering pretty much all of the striping options as well as pre-cut carbon fiber grace this reissue. The C63 AMG Black Series is a must for the Benzophile as it slots in right after the now unobtainium Aoshima SL65 Black Series chronologically.

Mail call.. I drove one occasionally at an old job years ago to run errands, pick up parts for the maintenance dept. which i was part of and to pick up the owners lunch. Lazy rich guy who thought the world owed him.. glad those days are long gone.

Splurged and bought myself a quality set of larger #1-#60 drill bits. I have a full set of “Mastercraft”🥴 drill bits but they are very low quality ‘made in china’ BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH. Some are not properly sharpened and a few of the smaller ones all measure the same diameter.🙄 These new ones are far, far better quality.👍😎

My LHS finally was able to get some more Tamiya Z kits and they where nice enough to save one for me! They flew out the door again! 

The White Z Aoshima kit came via Amazon.

My Dad had the same set in Chicago!

I went ahead and ordered a bunch of different cabels so i have better controll when doing plumbing, I actualy put a set together to sell. Single lead cables, no need to replace the wires. And the core is silver which means you can use them directly for making say AC hoses, just paint the final end of the black cover silver and you are done! This is one set.

That Tamiya 240 is won of the best kits ever.

After being inspired by and tired of drooling over the Ace-Garageguy and HomerS recent poney scores I snatched one up for myself, opened box and complete, flawless glass and usable decals. It does have one extra slick and one extra front tire.

Some photo etch,  my order from iceman came in, blown away br the detail. Very nice. New nippers, and some glass files to try out. 

[lordairgtar]

Is there an extra spring I see in the nippers?

Yes, it says "stiff spring". I suppose you can fine tune the feel

That and the mono wing counterpart are very interesting aircraft. Very maneuverable .  Spain had these during the revolution and I think it was actually the first plane with retractable landing gear.

I got this at Hobby Lobby with a 40% discount. You get a lot of bang for your buck as there is a trailer included.

Last week I went to my local Michaels and was pleasantly surprised they have brought back model kits.  About 7 months ago they completely cleared out all model kts.  I picked up AMT's 1964 Chevy Malibu SS and Revell's 1971 Mustang Boss 351 both with the 30% discount coupon.

Stopped by WalMart today, dropped by the toy department to see what might be left on their most recent model display. The models and the rack were gone. An associate was putting out some toys and I asked her if it had been moved. She checked her hand-held device and even checked in a back room.  She told me they were all gone, but they should be getting another rack in sometime mid-week.  Guess I'll be going back up there mid-week to see if anything transpires.
