Nice Mitsubishi! Who makes that kit? I'd like to build one of'em!

its a Fujimi kit. I have 2 versions of it and it looks like a nice kit.

Posted
^Fujimi, awesome! Are you going to do it street style, WRC style, or what?^

I'm going to build this one just like the box art. I like how it looks.

If you look a couple of pages back, you'll see the "Pack R" version of this kit that I have.

its a race version, and I'll build it that way.

I'd already got the order in and paid for, when it comes I'll bring to one of the meetings.

I'll bring the Beat to the meeting tomorrow.

My Tamiya Skyline R34 V-specII kit just showed up from ebay, with a couple suprises inside the box.

A complete Scale Auto Style resin Body kit and hood, and a set of Fujimi wheels and tires.

looks like I'll need to buy another kit to use the body kit and hood on. :rolleyes:

Hit the local Hobby Lobby with a 40% off coupon, and left with a Revell '57 Chevy Black Widow for $10.32. Score one for me!

My Tamiya 88 Merc C9 finally showed up, and the LHS was blowing out a bunch of Fujimi Ferraris so I picked up a Dino 246 GTS.

Posted
Picked this up on Thursday 30th April after 3 months on layby at a cost of $195Aust.

Dingo :P

I'd like to build one some day, maybe convert it into a motorhome and really try out my scratch-building skill's. I dream of putting in a functioning Ipod to simulate a big flat-screen tv in there that would actually be playing a movie. That would be awesome! Would have to see the inside of the bus to actually see if the floor plans would allow a motorhome conversion.

Posted

Fujimilover it sure does lend itself to be built into a motorhome that's what I'm doing. I'll take a photo of the floor pan to show you real soon.

Dingo :P

800 MILES???? :lol: That's local? :unsure: OUCH!!!!

It looks like it's bent inward. If it is, it should be an easy fix. It looks like something worth saving. Good luck with it.

LOL..

The LHS of the town I was in.. :unsure:

It is bent inward and downward.

Really weird.

I know the "oldsters" among us can identify this,

but do you "young'uns" know what this is, and can state it's

historical significance?

I probably paid too much for it, but they don't grow on trees! ;)

Great scores on both!

The 60 AMT promos were made of Cycolac plastic which had great shine,

but does what it WANTS to. ;)

If I were you I would buy a 1/25 display case for it, and display it good side out.

Keep it in a pretty consistent temperature controlled room (ie; A/C) and away from direct

sunlight will help in keeping it from getting much worse.

I have a 60 Galaxie 'vert that is amazingly straight, but also have a 60 Comet

that looks like a banana laid on it's side. ;)

IIRC the 62 is "safe" because the promos were moulded in styrene, and painted.

Art Anderson should know the years when AMT and Jo-Han went to styrene promos.

Jo-Han used Cycolac for a couple of years after AMT stopped. All MPC promos

are styrene.
