Arrived today by mail from Dean Milano's ebay store. Complete and sweet. He always has a variety of very nice kits up for auction.

Received $20 spare parts sprue from meng that took 3 weeks. Unfortunately they sent the wrong sprue from a different kit. Not sure how they managed that when they got QC number, and pictures of the said kit. Sigh……….

These were always sold out when I tried finding one in the early 90's, found one on ebay for a real bargain including shipping.  Real American plastic not that soft stuff like now.

I decided to go to Ollie's to see if they had anything today, nothing. I stopped at Walmart which hasn't had anything lately and low and behold marked for clearance! $5 each! Wooster Ohio. And no I didn't buy everything

Ollies will be opening stores in Fond Du lac Wisconsin and West Bend Wisconsin. The West Bend store will open on the 12th of February. I do not know when the FDL store is opening yet.

Now I know where all the model kits from the KC Metro Ollie's have been going.

1/24 Otaki Lambo Cheetah, for about 15% of the average online asking price.

Typical light-on-detail older Japanese motorised kit, but as the actual Cheetah prototype was powered by a Chrysler 360 V8, getting some reasonable guts under it shouldn't be too hard.

89AKurt built a hot-rod version of it some time back.

Vintage double kit builds. After some cleaning they look pretty good.

Went to the hobbyshop for primer and brought these home.🤠

I found a couple more orphans at Wal-Mart. So I adopted them!

I suppose the tooling for this is gone now, but I'd buy a couple of resin repops if someone did one.

Both look great, Mark!

Got these from my brother.  He hasn't built in over 20 years and will be getting rid of his collection.  He said I could take ones I was interested in, and being I had loaned him some money in the past, this is like a partial repayment.  Several were our father's before he passed away.  Most are un-started save for the Superbird, Brooks Daytona, and Bonneville.

That is some nice stuff there. Glad you got them.

A lot of very cool stuff, for sure! The Brooks Daytona brings back memories. Johan stuff is always nice to "find".

ERTL / ESCI 1/24 BWW M1 (Procar competition version) in Marlboro livery.

Much more detailed kit than I'd expected, with an engine and decent suspension, should be buildable as a really nice piece.

Missing one clear quarter window, which isn't bad for having been rattling around unsealed for decades, and bizarrely the instructions, though clearly correct for the kit, state it's 1/48.
