slusher Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Like that Mustang kit Carl. I was at Hobby Lobby today hoping to get another but none on the shelf. : ( I was glad to get one Ray. I got the last one or I would have got 2. I also got the last little red wagon. Made a Hobby Lobby run today. Selection was kind of low but managed to spend some cash. 3 of the paints were only 2.22 each. The 1/16 resin slicks are for my Lindberg Bull Horn project which I have yet to start. Looks like you picked up a good Ford score.....
GeeBee Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Just won this off eBay, not my usual thing, but it looks kind of neat,
Tom Geiger Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Great Geoff! One of my favorite kits. You'll like it.
ChrisBcritter Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Nice kit and no fit issues! What about the hood/cowl/front fender alignment? (Still a nice clean build.)
Va_jones Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) A couple things i have picked up this week. thinking of shooting primer on the mustang so my son can paint it what he would like it. he already built and had fun but wasn't much to it. Edited November 25, 2014 by Va_jones
Robberbaron Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Got a second Revell Torino GT, also picked up the AMT Ohio George 1960 Ranchero. Talk about two opposite extremes on the detail spectrum! OK though, knew what I was getting with the Ranchero.
Tom Geiger Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 I got nothing! Yesterday afternoon I made a trip to Michaels with my 40% off coupon in hand. I was hoping to find another Fruit Wagon kit so I could spread two of them out and build a bunch of the different versions all at once. Michaels didn't have a big load of kits, but they had about an equal distribution of AMT and Revell kits, each on their own side of a toy display. None of the kits were on the shelves where they were marked, along with the prices. A fair showing of new releases like the Firestone 1979 Ford pickup, 1961 Rancheros, 1966 Nova and a bunch of other stuff I already have or don't need. So I saw a lady with a big box in her cart and gave her the coupon! At least I made someone's day.
1930fordpickup Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 That is my normal at Michaels here Tom. Kits never in the right spot and they do not seem to change much. Given many coupons away there.
Daddyfink Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Every Michael's in San Diego has all of last years Revell issues and not much else! I also gave away my last coupon.

The stuff that sells they don't keep stocked and slow movers they keep sending them. The Fruit Wagons will be on clearance in Jan if they don't sell...
oldnslow Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Picked up a few kits in the last couple of months,
slusher Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 My wife brought this home after her company Christmas brunch.....
The70judgeman Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Got this off of Ebay for cheap. It's a replacement for one that grew legs and flew the coop. Gonna use the engine for a future chopped '32 project and the wheels will go to my stalled '49 Merc project. The rest will be built curb-side(maybe) as kind of a streetrod with modern wheels/tires.
gtx6970 Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Got my Ebay purchase this week. Going to get started on it after the 1st of the year
Mr Stock Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Yes, another one .... I quite fancy one of these Geoff..........
Mr Stock Posted December 10, 2014 Posted December 10, 2014 Fresh out of the mold ..... Been waiting for this kit for months and it doesn't disappoint..superb

Somebody steal your package. There is a bunch of that going on...
The70judgeman Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 @Carl- No, I wasn't robbed. I had one from years ago that I had in a storage box. It was going to donate the engine and wheels/tires to two different kits. When I went to look for it again, it was gone. I have no idea where it went. Even after my wife and I recently moved it still didn't turn up. So, I got a new one and now at least two projects can get finished...eventually.
ChrisBcritter Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 As I was saying before things went pffft: It arrived a day early and since then it's been dismantled and thoroughly cleaned, flash removed from that right-hand taillight bezel, and I checked for fit of the glass from the '64 Comet to replace the windshield. The pins on the body are a bit wide but it will work. Off to look for a spare one and to order a Modelhaus windshield frame...
Tom Geiger Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Hmmm Chris, I have one of those! Mine looks that sad too!
PatW Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 I had delivered over the last few days two well discounted from ebay uk, the rally Mini at just £1.76 part built................... And one of the latest re- issues (I think) from Tamiya, the Honda MotoCrosser in 1.12th scale............. I also built a Suzuki MX from Tamiya many years ago.
