Modelmartin Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Last weekend at NNL South I picked up a Top Studio Detail set for the Tamiya YZR-M1 GP bike. This thing is insane. P/E, turned and cast resin details along with good instructions. They even have cast resin electrical connecters for the wiring harness. Also got the Spiderman decals from Scale Motorsports. Looks like I will be Yamaha-ing soon. Yesterday I got my A/FX Buick funny car "Beware" in the mail. Not too bad and a good one for my unusual funny car collection.
Guest rick r Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Went to the Cactus Classic in Victorville, pigged out on cheap kits... AMT 62 Bel Air AMT 70 Chevelle SS454 AMT 60 Chevy custom pickup Monogram late 70s El Camino Camper All for $30! (And gas... $200 or so) BUT... also got the January Hot Rod in the mail Saturday, best lately, 60 th anniversary issue... 100 most influential hot rods...GOOD STUFF!
ramonesblues Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 I just got the '62 Corvette"60's sizzle kit at Wally World. Crappy kit. Some parts have 1/8 inch flash on them. It does have a nice chrome blower in it though.The headlights are extremely small.I don't recommend anyone buying this kit if there is an alternaitve.
CAL Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Nothing to exciting, but I did get something. A AMT 67 Shelby 350 to replace my short shot POS junk. Eleanor is back in the werks.

Rob Hall Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 (edited) I ordered the MK Cyclone, Challenger, and LA Dart last Monday..hopefully they will have arrive early this week (or came while I've been away over the holiday weekend). Addendum: Got home tonite from AZ and they had arrived...sweet. All look like great kits...love the box art and decals. Edited November 26, 2007 by Rob Hall
Mike Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Picked up an AMT 70 Super Bee. Gonna paint it purple and keep it stock just like the cover shot.
mademan Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 I just wanted to start what has been one of my favorite threads on airplane modeling forums. It’s not meant to brag or prove has the biggest modeling budget; I just like to see what other people are buying... Today I got the ‘50 Ford p/u with the Ardun flathead I’v been lusting over, a Caddy 354 parts pack motor, and some HOK “Burple†candy paint Casey
MikeMc Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 A BIG box of Black Gold HOK paint!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lordairgtar Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 Went to a swap meet yesterday and I got a 1964 Rambler American with a 6 cylinder in it. Nice clean build up but not so good spray job in screaming yellow zonker yellow. I bought it because of the six in it. All for 25 bucks. I also got a Flinstone 48 Chevy woody coupe body and a 59 Dodge kit from JoHan.
LVZ2881 Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 MK Cyclone and Challenger F/C, XS tuning wheels and pegasus 19 and 23" brake rotors...
novadose71 Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 Man it's been a good past few days. My resin 67 Cougar body and interior from Reliable resin came in the mail a couple days ago, and then, last night at our club meeting I got a Big T (sweet) in a stash raid we have been doing......and a deadline of around a year to finish it or face an embarrassing public flogging. Is it Christmas already?????Can I still say Christmas? ...................................Christmas?.............CHRISTMAS?
Kribblig Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Christmas came early for me! The new additions are below. 1. Scale Motorsport - Cobra Daytona Coupe 2. Profil24 - Alfa Romeo 308 pre-war F1 3. Model Factory Hiro - Fiat Abarth 750GT Zagato I really dig the clear plastic tool case the Abarth came in, awesome packaging.
robertw Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 You must have been extra good this year to receive these kinds of Christmas goodies. robw
Harry P. Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Got another Pocher a few days ago...bought on ebay. Those things are addictive.
Raul_Perez Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 Got another Pocher a few days ago...bought on ebay. Those things are addictive. Which one did you get, Harry? I still have a few of them.
Raul_Perez Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 I just picked up the Tamiya Ferrari FXX and the Tamiya PE set that goes with it. I "was" planning on painting it red, but after seeing some of the other Ferraris Under Glass, I may paint it a different color. I'm going to start on it as soon as I finish my '58 Impala and my '43 Willys gasser pickup.
george 53 Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 went to my lhs to find the latest issue of mcm for a fellow forum member,but of course it hadn't come in yet,tommorow,probably, yeah right.so to make it an unwasted trip i picked up the new Revell 58 Impala.don't really care for the 348 though,probably build it with a 327 tri power.George53.

Rob Hall Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) I haven't bought anything new lately, but have several Japanese kits on order from HLJ (just got the shipping notice on some, so they should show up later in the month--Fujimi VW GTI and a couple '70s Celicas). I did snag a few old, restorable builtups off ebay a few weeks ago--a customized AMT '59 Ford Galaxie convertible (with the rear fins clipped), '62 Merc Meteor, '62 Merc Comet, original '65 Galaxie ht. All need some Modelhaus chrome and TLC, but are restorable. Edited February 6, 2008 by Rob Hall
Joe Nunes Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Most recent buys, all at the LHS, include the Model King/Lindberg Vintage Dirt Modifieds (two models in the box!), the Model King/Amt Ertl Chevy II Super Boss Funny Car (Twister), Revell X-15 Experimental Aircraft, and the Revell Stone,Woods & Cook Willys Drag Racer. My wife picked out the Willys 'cause she thought it was "cute"
