#1 model citizen Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 I would love to have all 3 of those kits. I do have the trailer to the Buick. I started rebuilding it awhile back. Maybe I'll finish it before next summer? Quote
High octane Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 got this one yesterday another score off Ebay ! that's right 72' Plymouth Roadrunner . I sold on of those kits 'bout a year ago or so. Mine was mint and unbuilt and missing only the decals. Quote
Casey Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Finally got the two posters framed and hung. Quote
Dann Tier Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 got this one yesterday another score off Ebay ! that's right 72' Plymouth Roadrunner . Ist this a kit of one of the "one of a kind" REAL Rapid Transit cars? Quote
gtx6970 Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Ist this a kit of one of the "one of a kind" REAL Rapid Transit cars? Sort of. The box art represents the actual Rapid Transit System car . Yes its a one of a kind But there is nothing in the box to even come close to build said car Quote
gtx6970 Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) Mail man just dropped this one off. An MPC 1967 Pontiac Bonneville convertible. The interior is brush painted and will strip super easy. Chassis just has a few little things picked out in black paint. The body is no paint anywhere , all the emblems are mint . This will be an easy one. The windshield frame is pushed down a little more than I thought ( not packed very well ) . But I think will be a fairly easy fix . All the parts for it are there. And it looks like everything to build it stock is there. This is one Ive wanted for a while,,,but not bad enough I was gonna pay for the moon to get it. It was listed as a buy it now, or make an offer. So I though what the heck , ( nothing ventured = nothing gained) and I did, for about half the buy it now price. And the seller accepted it. Considering what I see these sell for on a very regular basis. I got a pretty good deal on it. Ive already pulled all the OE stock stuff out of the kit that I'll need. And will sell off the box and all the remains. Edited December 9, 2017 by gtx6970 Quote

HomerS Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 If you remember this show or this kit, you are old......I'm 52 but I remember the show. The box isn't the best but it is complete (partially assembled). Decals are dry transfer. Bear is included (!) but molded to the passenger seat. Would have preferred a model of Judy Landers. Quote
gtx6970 Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 She looks like a good one Bill! Steve Thanks, After seeing what another sold for the past couple days. I stole this one. Sold the box and the spare parts elsewhere earlier today. That Brings the costs down even more. Puts me in it at just under $75 postage and all. Quote
Casey Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) Some eBay purchases arrived today. A "junyard" lot, with a few good things in the lot: Also felt like buying a kit, so I did: Edited October 20, 2017 by Casey Quote

Jonathan, when was the last time the 75 Datsun was issued? Are they cheaper from Round 2? Could you send me a link to Round 2 store....thanks.. Quote
niteowl7710 Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Jonathan, when was the last time the 75 Datsun was issued? Are they cheaper from Round 2? Could you send me a link to Round 2 store....thanks.. The last time it was issued was 1975, it was an annual kit that I believe got a '76 & '77 version as well. But that would be the last time it (although I could be wrong) it came as a 3n1 with all the stock parts. Quote

Mike999 Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Found these for $6.11 each in the Hobby Lobby clearance section...I also bought some of those Jacquard Metallic paints on sale at HL. I've only experimented with the Yellow so far. They're pre-thinned for the airbrush and worked well thru an Aztek. They are acrylic, and cleaned up oK with Tamiya X-20 thinner or 91% isopropyl alcohol.One thing I noticed: the Yellow was sensitive to the primer under it. Which I guess is common for any yellow paint. Sprayed over white primer or bare white plastic, the color came out as a nice bright metallic yellow. The metal "flakes" even looked in scale, not the lumps you see in some metallic paints. But sprayed over grey primer, the color shifted to more of a darker gold, not bright yellow. So far, they're fun to play around with and I think they'll be useful. Edited October 23, 2017 by Mike999 error Quote
