Snake45 Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Local toy show today. Made a killer deal on some airplane kits; only 3 cars today--cheap glue bomb AMT '70 Challenger, new in box AMT Fruit Wagon T at a good price, and an unopened "Austin Powers issue" Revell '67 Vette roadster with figure for $15. The body in that kit is trash, but the chassis and other parts--and the figure!--are worth more than that!

I seem to remember that Austin came with the E-Type... best, M.

rsxse240 Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Not today, but yesterday, a great haul from the MCMA Model Car Shootout 2019! Great show, great models and great people! Can't wait till next year.
crazyjim Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 I got a Revell Big Deuce kit. Box is beat up but everything bagged inside. I'll probably never build it, so if someone is interested in doing a trade, please let me know.
Bill Eh? Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 I went to the Group 25 Model Car Flea Market and picked up a few things. I really shouldn't as my trip to the NNL East is less than 2 months awy. LOL
NOBLNG Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Picked these two up at the flea market today. Both kits are complete!

John Goschke Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Received a nice '58 Ford hardtop body and had enough parts in the stash to assemble this...
cobraman Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 Just a set of Pegasus wheels to use on the resin Studebaker wagon kit .

I can see the smoke coming out your ears, as the wheels in your head are spinning fast!!!! I can't wait to see what you do with this one.
unclescott58 Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 I got a new sprue cutter I saw recommended by a model builder on YouTube. They're designed with a slightly narrower jaw to get closer to the parts on the tree. It looks better than my old Revell ProModeler sprue cutters. But not by much. The old Revell cutters still work well, but we'll see if these work any better? I've had such good luck with Tamiya products in the past, that I expect I'll be pleased with these.
PatW Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Bought this today via ebay UK, and there's two bodies in the box, what a bonus. I can now build two!
RKO36 Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 I've begun my (sort of return - I built a few kits about 12 years ago without much success as a teen). I bought this as my return kit. I had no idea what to do last time I built a kit. Now I have the power of YouTube and forums to help me. I'm going to pick up essential supplies tomorrow or the next day. I plan to give this a simple one color paint job (maybe a bit more) and add some custom decals (where/how to make them) with my company's logo, get a trailer, and a custom built load that we typically might haul.
ChrisBcritter Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 Got some very useful bits yesterday - pedals and mirrors from the Jo-Han '70 Caddy, plus all the custom/rally stuff from the AMT '64 Falcon vert: The '64 Coupe deVille project will get the mirrors.
TarheelRick Posted March 6, 2019 Posted March 6, 2019 Stopped by Hobby Lobby expressly looking for the AMT Firestone Ford F-150. They had one on the shelf, however right next to it was a '32 Ford Sedan Delivery and since coupons are limited, I picked up the Deuce Delivery. Looking at the parts picture on the bottom of the box it can only be built as a hot rod, but I do have two Vicky's and a Phaeton that could possibly provide the stock parts.

The '32 Sedan Delivery sounds interesting. I've never seen this kit before and the box art that I have seen the body doesn't look right to me. Could you post some pictures of the contents and give your opinion as to the body shape ?

May be a while before I open it. But then, I just may decide to check it out.
