My haul from the Intermodellbau in Dortmund yesterday:

Got a couple of kits I didn't plan to get, but it's better to have something in the stash than to buy a new kit over and over again.

Just came in the mail today. This one has never really been on my radar, but it was in such nice shape, I just had to. :)

Niiiice. :wub:

I may be able to help you on the stock wheelcovers - let me check the stash. I also have a line on a pair of Revell '62 Dodge wheelcovers (same as '63) that are more accurate - I have to pick 'em up and cast some copies.

Steve,

I saw that one listed and almost went after it myself.

I've noticed theres been a few 63 Dodge kits lately avail. on the 'Bay.

I might have to snag a convertible for myself . But its not like I actually NEED it ,,,,

That looks mighty familiar.

I had to fix the vent windows and a sun visor, but now it's ready for primer. I like the wheel covers on yours better than the ones I got on mine.

I just assumed they were stock wheel covers. They're obviously Dodge Items. Either way, I like them & will likely use them on the build.

I got Monograms '85 Fiero, the dual Judson superchargers from AMTs '64 Olds Cutlass, and the premier issue of SAE from 1979.

Drove over to Streamwood at 4 AM to go to an estate sale (and signed in fourth on the list) - they let us in at 8 AM and I headed for the room that had these:

Unfortunately everything was marked at retail (like $40 for the '70 Bonneville and $20-$25 for the rest) except the AMT '70 Impala at the bottom left - sealed inside, grabbed it for ten bucks; plus for two bucks more, a boxful of vintage kit wheels and hubcaps (including a set of '57 Plymouth wheelcovers, 1 3/4 sets of moon discs, '36 Ford custom hubcaps, some nice mags plus axles and screws), a Mini-Lindy 1/64 AMC Gremlin and this decal from the long-gone Santa Fe Speedway:

Any Chicagoans here remember their radio jingle?

"Come on down to the Santa Fe Speedway

Get goosebumps as they scream down the straightaway

Super Stock cars slidin' this way and thataway

Round the clay track at the Santa Fe Speedway!"

I have a much larger version of the image on Flickr if you like:

Beautiful day here in southern Ontario, so I HAD to get out! Went to my LHS, and for the 1st time EVER, he had some "gently used" kits! Definately a 1st! So (btw, they're all there...never built), I purchased 2 kits for parts and 2 small baggies with assorted stuff for a song! Put a BIG smile on my face!

I remember that and was there many times. Loved the demolition derbys and the figure 8 races. Was in Willow Springs wasn't it ?

How long of a shipping time have you guys experienced from Hobby Link Japan?

5 days....it would have been less if I lived near a major airport. I live in rural Nothern California.

The question is how did you ship it? I'm guessing el cheapo SAL in which case 10 days-3 weeks is the expected. My last HLJ SAL was 11 days, but I just received a SAL shipment from Hobby Search (HLJ's competitor) and it took 22 days.

I always use Fed Ex, so usually about 3-4 business days.
