unclescott58 Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 The 2 tone Pontiac I bought from Okey, he only had two of them and yes $30 was the price,.... The AMX is a USA oldies minus the engine but with an opening hood , engine plug molded into frame.and came with red wall tires, I bought it from another vendor for $33.I'd love to get my hands on an AMX.
PierreR89 Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Bought this from ebay:And this:ZIL 135.They will probably look good next to my to MAZ 537 tanktransporter and KZKT 537 tractor once they are built...I actually know a person that owns a real ZIL 135 that was used for the luna rocket and that one is parked not far away from my parents house.Unfortunatley it is a non runner as both engines in it have siezed and the missile ramp is removed.He also owns a T-34 and 2-3 Diamond T tanktransporters from WWII
simonr Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 From the Kentuckys Largest Slot car show and Model car Swap meet on Sunday. If you are into slot cars, this was a great show but was seriously lacking for the modelers. The red Porsche is sealed.......never saw one of these before. The yellow one is open but complete What's the year of production of the yellow one?
Roncla Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Had another order from Randy at Model Builders Warehouse arrive the other day and just found the time to open it. Randys' new line of Scale Production is particularly nice.
cobraman Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Got this on the bay . Complete new Thunderjet Cobra slot car . I don't have a track but hey , it's a Cobra ! No other bids so I got it for 13 dollars including the shipping cost .
Mr mopar Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Being a Mopar guy I scored this one off ebay ,get it today and now it's in the purple pond .
Dragline Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 This has got to be the cutest darned thing I have ever seen in my life. 7.99 at Hobby Lobby with a 40% off made it 5 and change. Three trees, rubber tracks and decals. I took a content shot but my software decided to make it disappear. There are more in the series so I'll be on the lookout. Talk about a slump buster! Looks like it ends up about 4"X 5" or so and cute as all get out.
Bill Eh? Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Jonathan, I am looking forward to your open box review in Pheeden's Garage.
disabled modeler Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Being a Mopar guy I scored this one off ebay ,get it today and now it's in the purple pond . Oh very nice score...!
Jhedir6 Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Jonathan, I am looking forward to your open box review in Pheeden's Garage.Me too. Who'd you get your BMW from? Still waiting on mine to arrive at Hobby Search.... MS Hobbies in AZ has them already but Hobby Search in Asia doesnt? Seems very strange to me. I'd cancel and order from somewhere else but they wont let you cancel a preorder.Been looking forward to this kit for a year, hoping I'm not disappointed.
Jhedir6 Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Couple deliveries today, First, Corvette C7R display base from Hiroboy. Second box of goodies from Model Builders Warehouse, HRM GT40 wheel/tire set, some Turkey Roasters and a new Daytona Coupe body and accessories from Harold.
Mike999 Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 Bought this from ebay:...I actually know a person that owns a real ZIL 135... Thanks for the info about your local Russian vehicles. Interesting. I couldn't resist the Trumpeter kit shown below - 8 wheels, a 38.9 liter diesel engine, and a BIG gun! I'm thinking about getting the "Rubezh" Coastal Anti-Ship Missile. But I already have the "Smerch" MLRS and SCUD missile. So I'm running short on storage space. And budget! For those who don't do armor, these are pretty amazing kits, with full engine/chassis detail. Even if you can't see much of that detail when the kit is completed.
gtx6970 Posted October 11, 2017 Posted October 11, 2017 While out yesterday running errands . I picked up a few cans of paint. And while there I just had to grab a couple of the New 1970 Charger kits.

I'd cancel and order from somewhere else but they wont let you cancel a preorder.Been looking forward to this kit for a year, hoping I'm not disappointed.I got mine direct from China, Hobby Easy, Hobby Easy gets the kits first because NuNu Models is based in China, so its the same as we get Revell/AMT kits here first before the rest of the world, Japan should have them very soon. Yes, I did see that he has them in stock. I

CapSat 6 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Being a Mopar guy I scored this one off ebay ,get it today and now it's in the purple pond . Nice! You do know that you can get the correct grille inserts from any General Lee kit...
Mr mopar Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Nice! You do know that you can get the correct grille inserts from any General Lee kit...Already got them ! and paint stripped to a nice bright white plastic . Edited October 12, 2017 by Mr mopar
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Found a US seller with one of these, and it's a real beauty of a model. I became interested in British trucks many years back, after seeing the old Hell Drivers film (which I also heartily recommend; Sean Connery, Patrick McGoohan, Stanley Baker, David McAllum...hard-driving dump trucks on public roads...). Though the trucks in the film were "Parrot Nose" '55 English Dodge 100 series, the old Bedford cab is similar in appearance, and used to be seen all over the planet. This tanker wants to live next to a 1/24 Spitfire. I don't know if anyone makes a 1/24 or 1/25 Parrot Nose Dodge, but I sure would like to have one. Edited October 12, 2017 by Ace-Garageguy
cobraman Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 I saw that movie. From 1957 I believe. I think the film was sped up a bit, whatcha think Bill ?
Mike999 Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) The Bedford TD series (I think) is still in use all over Egypt. The one that looks like a '50 Chevy. Those things will be running forever. Egyptians love them and there are junkyards full of donor trucks to keep them on the road. That's also true for the Peugeot 504 station wagon, usually seen as in the photo below - crammed full of people with a big load of luggage on top. Edited October 12, 2017 by Mike999 Error
Junkman Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 Why are those military models always made in the wrong scale?
Rob Hall Posted October 12, 2017 Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Why are those military models always made in the wrong scale?No idea..1/35th is their standard scale...military modelers probably think civilian models are in the wrong scale when 1/24th or 1/25th. Edited October 12, 2017 by Rob Hall
