What did you get today? (Model Car Related Items)

It's unacceptable. Equally unacceptable is that Ebbro's website is only in Japanese.

Google Chrome browser translates it well enough. At least enough to fill out the Contact form

Stumbled across this little darlin' with two hours left on the clock, a low buy-in and no apparent watchers...

Put in a bid at what I expected some sniper might throw in at the last ticks of the clock. Sure enough, the competing bid was fired in...

for a whole dollar more          Piker 

Final tally was a quarter of a c-note, plus one buck 

'course, being listed as a 'mavrick' may have helped it elude the search engines; just like the pair of 'flacon' awb bodies I picked up for less than a sawbuck a couple of years ago

Where you got that "silver liquid" labeled paint?

Just from my local hobby store, its a Vallejo product, 35ml large plastic bottle. Item #790 Silver. It's great stuff, goes on smooth, nice for detailing chassis as it leaves no brush marks, much better than Tamiya paint.

That was a Christmas tradition of mine... getting up early on Christmas morning and sniping models that stupid sellers had set to finish then.   I got many a bargain over the years.

The spelling thing also works. I have a search  (Valiant,valient) that regularly produces results.

O.K, this is going to be the last model I buy this year, Honest ....

I really want to get one of these, but this is very discouraging and I'm holding off until they fix their packaging problem. If they don't address this, I don't buy.

The body in mine was just fine BTW

A sleeve of .010" styrene sheet, and a couple of 36" sticks of 1/4" X 1/2" basswood.

Pretty exciting, huh?

As exciting as the two rolls of Tamiya curved masking tape I got a few days ago

R&R '59 Chevy convertible top, cheap, for my '59 Pontiac - figure since it's a vacuform part it can tweaked to fit without much grief.

We'll talk about that once the year is over...

Finally got my hands on the Meng F-350 kit and some better aftermarket tires. I got it for WAY below retail, so i bought some extra goodies for it as well.

I got the October issue of MCM today, and my order for one of the new 61 Pontiac Ventura kits was put in at the lhs. The nice lady said it should arrive Thursday.

I would like to find one of those Hasegawa Jeeps if they are 1/24 or 1/25 scale. I would like to know more about that one.

Bought the reissued '69 Corvair 40% off at HL. Pretty nice, except the turbo parts (last seen in 1966?) are still MIA.

The box art is outstanding. Whoever did it really nailed the 1969 look. It was so convincing that I had to google-image the original 1969 box to see if it was different (it was).

Did you by any chance notice if HL has started selling the MPC Bad Company van?

I stay away for HL once Dec hits tell after Christmas

[drsnapper55]

Check out Tractor Supply if you have in your area - found they had some decent die casts for 50% off now.  I found an Apache fleet side pickup for $11.

Didn't see it, but then I wasn't looking for it.

Mine was straight as an arrow as well.  Looks like someone sat on Christian's somewhere along the line.

Oh yes, the little Kat was given to me Friday, I'm very pleased to now have one.

Postage handler got tired an needed a break and used the box as a chair is my guess

Did not see one at mine, but they don't tend to keep the same kits as most HL stores do...

Modelhaus has nice Buick wires too.

I used them on mine.

Not sure what happened above as I did not want to quote.  Yesterday I picked up the '61 Pontiac Ventura, '50 Ford Convertible and the Flameout for my buddy

The one pictured is 1/24th. But there is also a 1/48th, and that's the one I more commonly see stocked. The 24th I've only seen online.

Mine is 1:24. I briefly considered selling it, but I have two 1:25 armor kits to finish, and I decided to use it in a vignette with one of the two, probably the Jagdpanther.
