GeeBee Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 Spotted by a good friend of mine in Japan, I did have this kit many years ago, along with other Fujimi Porsche kits, I sold them all to a friend of mine who only builds Porsche kits, I kind of regret selling this one after building the convertible version, hopefully I'll have it soon, they usually go for silly money, it cost me just over 4000 yen, around £28.

unclescott58 Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 Went to a slot car swap meet this morning and picked up a few good things. One is a very nice 1967 Chrysler 300 promo. I got it at very good price. It's missing a hood ornament (with Modelhaus gone, anybody have any ideas on where I might be able to get a replacement?), and some slight but easy to fix damage to the "A" pillar and vent wing. Beyond that the chrome is pretty good. And she needs a little cleaning. Besides that, I picked up two Lindberg 1/32 snap kits, at a really good price. Both are unopened. Not the greatest kits in the world, but where else are you going find a round headlamp Monte of that vintage? Or a Grand Am. I'm happy to have them.

Ace-Garageguy Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 Nice Mr. Mailman just dropped off a semi-grail, a complete AMT King T/ Wild Dream double kit in an almost perfect box. Not cheap, but reasonable. I want to do as many of the AMBR winners as are available in styrene.

It will look great with you building it!!, I could build those 911 kits all the time!!...my favorite German car!! I have built several of the EM ones, but I decided to get a Tamiya one to give it a try.
Modlbldr Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Got this in the mail from Japan this morning. http:// Been waiting for it! Funny story. I ordered it on line a couple of months ago for a bit over $30. A couple of weeks later my wife told me that she got a message that the shipment was cancelled for no reason by the company I got it from and that the credit card had been reimbursed. I asked my wife twice over the last couple of weeks if she was sure. She told me that it had been reimbursed. Today it showed up so I asked my wife again and got the same answer. So I showed her the kit. She looked puzzled. I guess I need to get ahold of the company and have them charge my card again. Later-

Scott...I wish my 67 Chrysler 300 promo was in better shape its pretty much destroyed from the tornado we had sadly.

lordairgtar Posted October 29, 2018 Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) I just got my hands on a 72/73 ish Matador four door sedan. It's an old resin cast and we don't know who made the body. I have to try and redo almost every panel on it. It's very thick and has a bulge in the roof plus the hood looks a bit uneven. Grille is molded into the body and needs to be redone for accuracy. Looks like it was made from the Rebel Machine body. I owned the real version of this body style so I had to have it. Edited October 29, 2018 by lordairgtar

GeeBee Posted October 29, 2018 Posted October 29, 2018 Been looking for one of these without paying silly eBay prices, even the later re-released version sells for silly money this side of the pond, found one last night for just under £22
