Ron Hamilton Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Today I received a Revell 56 F100 from Karl aka 64ss350. It was a Pay It Forward deal. I've been "straightening" that one out since the kit first came out. I have not given up, as I want to do it as a companion piece to the new "Foose" kit.
Ron Hamilton Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 A recent acquisition.... I'm jealous! I have a derelict '72 Resin kit that I may combine with an AMT '70, as I cannot afford a decent '72, and the one you have looks very nice.
ChrisBcritter Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Just got a set of NOS Revell '62 Plymouth wheelcovers; more accurately shaped than the Jo-Han ones: Also got a '40 Ford coupe interior and dash, molded in black from the early issue of the kit - that nearly completes my black-molded parts pile '40 (just need a black seat, steering wheel and column).
Mike999 Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Also got a '40 Ford coupe interior and dash, molded in black from the early issue of the kit - that nearly completes my black-molded parts pile '40 (just need a black seat, steering wheel and column).I'll try to keep an eye out for those at local flea markets. Recently at a flea market, I found a complete, unbuilt original AMT 40 Ford coupe. But it was molded in grey plastic. Here's a weird thing about that kit that tickled me. The one I found had the decal sheet from the AMT '32 Ford coupe in it (red and white scallops). Not the flame decals shown on the box art and usually found in the '40 coupe. At first I suspected the original owner had just swapped decal sheets around. But I've seen one other original '40 on eBay with the same '32 coupe decal sheet. AMT was pumping out a lot of kits back in the early Sixties. So I guess if they temporarily ran short of decal sheets, they just threw in whatever they had on hand.
64SS350 Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Saturday I got a large set of micro number drills, another small set of micro drills, four bottles of Micro Mark mold casting silicone for $30. A box of kits from Dave Branson, and a sunburn from NHRA Nationals yesterday.
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) Just bit the bullet and sprung for one of these. I've wanted this thing for years, and thought it was long gone out of production. Found one for sale, bought it. Here's one built by Luc Janssens... Edited June 26, 2017 by Ace-Garageguy

I just ordered a wheel/tire set and photo etch from Plamoz for the Mercedes AMG GTYou wont be disappointed. His stuff is so nice. Price is abit up there, but you get what you pay for. I mocked mine up with the new wheels/tires and man, does it look so much better than the kit parts.
Roncla Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) A couple of Foose F100s and a AMT Gas Man arrived on my doorstep from Plastic Models and an order I had placed with Model Builders Warehouse came in as well. This was the first time I have dealt with Model Builders Warehouse and from shipping the order immediately to excellent communication and packaging I was very impressed and wont hesitate to purchase off them again. The quality of the resin parts supplied from Clearly Scale and Fireball Modelworks were impeccable too. Edited July 15, 2017 by Roncla

But considering what a nice goes for ( I got one of them as well. ) This one was cheap.
