NOBLNG Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 And I also picked up a '70-1/2 Camaro. Hey, if Michaels is going to keep sending me 50% or 55% off coupons, I'm going to eventually buy all they have. Woo Hoo! The 20,000th reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBcritter Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 As I've said before: Caught those cats napping! Low opening price, mine was the first and only bid - no one sniped me this time: AMT Craftsman '59 Galaxie with few issues; should clean up nicely. Maybe a mild custom, lowered, with tube grille, lake pipes and '60 Ford dog dishes on chrome reverses, or those Car Craft Dream Rod T-bird wires I've been casting?

LDO Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Jo-Han's model of this bad boy: Original issue, unbuilt. I do love those coachbuilt classics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewetwo Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I got these yesterday during my 140 mile trip to Hobby Lobby, AC Moores and Micheal's. Looks like my closest Micheals isn't restocking the store anymore as it was almost empty of models and modeling supplies. And I think I have all the models I want that are currently in availible in the stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 59 too, which I believe was an annual in that it was moulded in a creamy white styrene that matches the other ones I have from this period. I am considering turning it into a 4 door hardtop, as my uncle had one in Black, with the red interior. It will bookend well with my Revell Skyliner, that I am correcting the trunk lid on.

I guess that means you're redoing the hinges to remove the cutouts in the rear panel? Always wondered why Revell got that detail wrong.

Plashdaddy Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I got these three today, boxes are beat up, but they’re all there and unassembled. I haven’t built any of these before so they’ll be new for me. I say all there but the ‘Vette is missing the red tail light lenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRousseau Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Picked these up at the local A buck or Two store. They were on clearance for $2 each so I grabbed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was telling them about this cool kit I saw on Sunday and they ordered it right after I showed them the pic of it. Today I was at their house and the mailman dropped of a big box and they really surprised me when he threw it at me and said thanks for helping them out when they need it!!! Vince Man thats just so cool. I've seen on the History Channel they actually working on things like this. I had no idea someone had made a kit!! I want one!

Lots of good stuff in the swap meet, but I’m broke as usual. picked up the following little unbuilt gem for $5.00? Revell reissue from 1976. This! this is the very first kit I ever built. Locked up in Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto for 3 months. It sure didnt turn out like the box cover! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWT Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Having decided recently to build the cars that I've owned, I picked up a couple kits this week Revell '85 Olds to make my '85 Brougham MPC Squad Rod to represent my '78 Custom AMT '95 Blazer to represent my '01. I just have to swap out the front end. Now I just have to figure out how to make a '96 ext cab s10 and find a representation of my '10 Impala Also for a good price I picked up the newest '53 Chevy, '66 Suburban, '41 Willys, the newest '69 Olds and a '75 Olds promo.

ChrisBcritter Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 The '59 Galaxie arrived today and it looks very good - no glue on the glass and the custom grille bar popped off easily. Odd thing is that it has wide whitewalls that appear to be '61 vinyl promo tires; I thought all the Jr. Series snap kits had narrow whites. Has anyone seen any others with WWW tires?

echoxrayniner Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Some dude on eBay was selling off this absolutely massive(and I mean, like 50+) Ford kit pile, so I did a few bids on a handful(all in new condition minus the Camaro, which was untouched inside but the box was wrecked) cause I needed some kits from particular generations to draft accurate decal sheets from and ended up actually winning a couple. Plus some spare rarities that I desperately wanted for a while now. I had to individually buy these cause they were shipped via the eBay global shipping program so I think I literally doubled down on every kit(26-30$ shipping a pop). But man, those Malaise era goodies I just couldn't miss on, not to mention a Ford EXP from Revell, there was something about that thing that made me needing to own it.

ewetwo Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) Just picked these up today. Like I need another 58 Impala right? and the sprint car will be used for trading. The boxes are not the best but both are still sealed. Edited May 18, 2018 by ewetwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MPC kits of that era are surprisingly nice to build. They have good detail and go together rather well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
