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


Recommended Posts

I'm usually hesitant to post about eBay wins, but I'm so pleased with this one I just have to. My apologies if anyone on here was bidding on this, but I just picked it up today...

There's a bag full of parts to go with it. Don't have time to sort through it all yet, but I hope all the pieces are there! B)

Revell sent me the glass for the '99 Silverado w/Waverunner - for FREE. I bought the kit off Ebay and there was no Waverunner or trailer. I complained to the seller so he refunded my money and sent another Silverado - with no Waverunner or trailer and no glass. Revell saved the day and now I have 2 Silervado's to build.

I picked up some Tamiya Fine White Primer and three 1/3 oz. bottles of Tamiya acrylic paint- clear red, semi-gloss black, and clear flat. I'm looking forward to seeing how the primer lays down on a 1/32 scale body. B)

I didn't see any signs of a Tamiya paint shortage at the two hobby shops I visited, either.

Hey Jim, can I buy the extra set of instructions off of you? I have a kit coming and I don't think the instructions are included.

Okay! I've had time to sort through my haul and figure out what I have.

  • Monogram Chevy LUV Stepsider (missing wheels)
  • 2 Revell Datsun 620 "Desert Rat" pickups (complete)
  • 2 AMT 53 Ford F-100's (1 missing wheels, 1 missing glass)
  • 3 Revell 56 Ford F-100's (in various stages of broken-ness)
  • 2 Monogram 80 Ford F-150s (missing 1 grille)
  • 3 AMT 34 Ford pickups (should be able to make 1 truck between the 3)1
  • 2 Monogram 78 Chev K10s (complete)
  • MPC 73 C10 (complete)
  • MPC 73 K10 (complete)
  • MPC 75 K10 (complete)
  • MPC 78 K10 (complete)
  • MPC 67 C10 (missing stock grille, tailgate; comes with 69-70 grille)
  • AMT 70-72 GMC Jimmy (complete)
  • 2 Revell 71-76 Ford Courier (1 missing wheels, 1 missing hood)

1I know these are the original AMT releases and not the later Lindberg releases due to a chrome license plate on one of them embossed with "AMT 1962"

Miscellaneous leftover parts include a set of wheels that don't quite go with anything, odds n sods, a 426 Hemi, 283 SBC and what appears to be an AMC 6-cylinder. Any ideas what it is for sure or what it came from?

Well, wherever it came from its going to be modified to fit into a CJ-7. I've been wanting to build a base model Jeep out of that kit and now I have an engine! B)

I got these two vans today. A 1/32 scale Monogram Streeto Vandito, on which the builder glued the 'glass' pieces in VERY securely. :lol:

No, you cannot scrape off the inside of the windshield to remove the excess glue. <_<

Number two is a glue bomb Revell Hardy Boys GMC van. I didn't realize Revell did the GMC specific body until I saw this. :wacko:
