Another stunner Steve,love the color combinations,detail and finish. 

After i look at yours i realize mine is missing some details,portholes in fenders,the emblem at the front fender.

I was hoping to do this in pure white with wire wheels and maby light blue and white interior.

I hadn't noticed the missing badging Tommy, but it will still make an amazing model!

I love white cars!

One of my favorite colors!

With the wire wheels, some wide whites & a little color on the inside, it will be beautiful I'm sure!

Finally was able to get the 60 Buick hardtop from a feebay auction. I was watching this and a 59 Edsel,and i watched the price on the Edsel

just grow and grow,but nothing happend on this so i just threw in a bid,like i could for once be lucky and get it,and i actually did. Pretty happy

about it. 

Thats ironic, I almost nearly put a bid on this one, but i checked the bank balance first............and that was that !!

I almost put a bid on that car. I have the convertible and and the 60 Buick is one I wouldn't mind having as a hardtop as well . I know a guy who used to have one and that car just looked neat .

But they were others listed I wanted more , so I backed off of it ( lucky you I guess )  . I did win the other 3 that I was after though ( it was an expensive weekend )

Nice score on the Buick

I got a Revell Road Agent but it's only .15kb and won't load on here as it says that it's over .44kb

I was on one of my meandering drives (southeastern Wisconsin and just over the border into Illinois) when I spied a little hobby shop I've not seen before. Lots of crafty stuff and model trains, but they had a small model car selection too. Wound up getting a Revell 57 Ford wagon for $20. Later I picked up a 27 Ford T truck kit with the candy bar decals at another place.

nice collections!

I bought 2 330 p4s by fujimi before.. but the kit itself is really not that good..So I bought another one made by union-heller...

But the fujimi's box art is great..

[花火]

got the last bids I win last weekend.

To be honestly, this one looks much worse than I thought... or maybe I just did so much Tamiya..

 

guys any idea how to deal with the metal body?? looks really shitty to me...

anyway bought a Union-Heller Ferrari 330 P4 yesterday..

Nie.... You should just be able to treat it like a plastic kit...clean the body up maybe wet sand to make it smooth and prep it for primer and paint Id think..?

thanks Mark. I think the first thing I need to do... is washing this metal body with lots of cleaner

I really don't know how rare that kit is, but on ebay there's some huckster trying to sell a box with a chassis, a hood & a "half" of a body for a buy it now price of $115.00!!

For a box?

Not in this lifetime!!

Very nice!! Does your 288 GTO come with the huge sheet of photo etch parts?! -I have kit #9 and it does. Was just curious cause my nephew wants one, but cant find the one I have.

He's been trying to sell that box and parts for a while now,,,,,,,. I've seen buildups with the box sell for about what he wants just for the scraps 

 

IMO, its one of the harder Johan kits to find. Although I think the Johan 1970 Roadrunner is harder to find and usually brings more money.

I had an unbuilt maybe 10 years ago and like a fool sold it .  I've been looking for a decent builder for the past year or two,,,,, and have been unable to get one in my budget
