This one arrived from California today! This is a 1972 Impala and is the last Chevy I needed to complete a 1941 to 1976 annual run. The wheels already fell off in shipping (yea!). Very brief eBay description and photos that don't show some damage. For instance look at the back edge of the hood. Looks like it's just sitting up? Nope! It's missing a 1/4 sliver on the edge. And the rear glass is missing a visible lower corner. Oh well, we can rebuild it, we can make it better.

Anyone know of a good website I can use for details, and what colour is a good match for the engine colour ??

Ya, it is a bit different. Several years ago I built only military dioramas. I have been itching to do some again so I bought a couple of unusual 1/72 kits to play with. Of coarse I got rid of all my diorama stuff so I will have to purchase some again. When will I ever learn ?

Very happy to win this one today, I know this was has just been reissued but this is the original kit with the side window cutouts, been after it for a long time cost me £16.50 (approx $28 )

Picked up a slot car starter box at the flea market, has a little pan car with a clip on body, controller and 2 Marx slot cars that must be old ($20), also a box of 15 packages of evergreen styrene and assorted plastistruct angles and ladders ($5).

Ok, here is what I had trickle in over the last week. A guy I know is having to get out of the hobby so he made me a deal on a number of nice kits plus a huge box of supplies. I traded for the big rigs, a 1/12 1967 Corvette, and the Yellow Porsche. The wheels are five spoke cragars with wide whites. The resin engines are both early Mopar Wedge engines, and the parts pack 283.

The super Clean Olds Chassis will be used under the Ferrari....

You did very well on that one. I have the original kit myself. I plan to do mine as a Beauville Sport Van with the seats and additional body side mouldings. I also like the fact that the hood opens too.

Thanks to an under-descriptive ebay listing with only one photo, I scored these cheap:

Never thought I'd find a '60 Chrysler! The listing just mentioned the Lincoln but the lot included both cars. Now to find a set of wire wheels and tires from the '56 300...
