What did you get today? (Model Car Related Items)

[Deuces]

They almost look identical.... I'm sure the model would look cool in red.... ?

[ChrisBcritter]

Have any resin outfits done a panel truck conversion for the '40, using the Monogram pickup as a donor?

[Deuces]

Not that I know of....

I got this one in the mail today. Was sealed. Looks like a great kit.

This is not my normal. I've never build this style of vehicle but I remember these from way back and have always liked the looks. Looking forward to it.

The decals look like they may be a problem. I'll have to seal them before using them.

Tom, just a heads up for you. This is a great kit to build, and is unique as an F1 car. It does originate from the days when Tamiya used battery powered electric motors. The structure of the model does still include a battery compartment and a plastic insert which served as the battery compartment door.      Bill A.

Thanks Bill. Hadn't gotten that good of a look at it and probably wouldn't have noticed until I got ready to build it. Shouldn't be a bother though. It will spend most of its life in a display cabinet.

I think that was the 1/12 scale kit not the 1/20 which he has.

I'm guessing he WANTED it molded in red, since there's a sticker on the box that's says that is what the contents should be.

[Deuces]

I realize that, but being molded in white gives me options to paint it any color I wish without any bleed through.... Just an opinion and I don't mean to stir up a storm.... Sorry... ?

I got these today. Ertl car trailer. Dinky Classic British Sports Cars, series 2. And a toy service station. The station is not big enough for 1/25 models. But 1/43 will work fine. Tomorrow the Fulton New York model car show and swap.

Wednesday, I got a laporoscopic appendectomy.  First time having surgery under general anesthesia.  I hope to never do that again.

Today I got in an AMT Plymouth Prowler kit.  It's complete and unbuilt.  It's in excellent shape.

The post dropped these off today...

Dan, what's the thickness of those razor saws?

Actually, I just counted the number of pieces... there's 720 bolts and 720 nuts  per side for $5.95. So that's 1440 pcs.

I had mine out a couple years ago. The pain was so intense I would have gone through anything to get it removed. Glad you are on the mend.
