iamsuperdan Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Was my birthday last week, and the family knows what I like; cars from the 80s and stuff for a garage diorama I'm working on this winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeBee Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I really should stop watching American Muscle Cars on Amazon prime, ended up buying another kit.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike999 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Flea Market Day. No kits today, but one seller had a bunch of these neat Hallmark "kiddie car" Christmas tree ornaments, cheap. They appear to be about 1/24-1/25 scale. Thought they would look good in the back of a pick-up truck or in a diorama. I might even try some weathering on them.

Really didn't fit those either! ? It didn't fit on a '51 Chevy either, but hey, we're modelers. Also, it doesn't have an interior at all. I am having fun with this one. I need to get back to it.

89AKurt Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I've never seen this 1/16 Fujimi Porsche 959 in a hobby shop, got from someone who had to stop building models due to health. The seats slide and recline! The two intercoolers are included, but there are no pipes going to the intake! So there are still details to scratch build to make complete. There are two electric fan parts under the grill. (I've built the Tamiya 1/24 kit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Had this as a Revell kit many years ago . Thought I would take another crack at it . My first job was at a Texaco station so I will do it red with Texaco decals . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToyLvr Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Got some much-needed decals from “Alexis”. Thanks, Alan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SfanGoch Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) Snagged a couple Johan Mopars for very cheap and pretty much complete. Just won this '62 Chrysler 300 Bought this '68 Fury Police Pursuit I just missed getting this '67 Fury Sport. A complete kit for only 40 bucks. I didn't pull the trigger fast enough. I could kick myself. Edited November 21, 2019 by SfanGoch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeeBee Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Paint arrived for the little grey Fergie, from Eastwoods, nice to receive the free sample of the enamel thinners, but I'll be thinning out the paint with lacquer thinners.

I was the only bidder. If you want the wheel covers, you're welcome to them. I'm going to rebuild it bone stock anyway. I'll let you know when it arrives.

Pretty sure I have some of those wheel covers laying around somewhere myself. Don't remember having any red center though. Personally, I always thought these wheel covers were as ugly as sin!!
