But I already had the Goldfinger DB5 and didn't want to "cobble" it into a stock version. It even has the figures in it. When I compared that to the DB4, there is less size difference than I expected, given that the 1:1 DB5 is slightly larger. It will be a while before I put this on the bench, but they are getting more rare Now that is sweet...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewetwo Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I picked all of this up today. Lots of parts. A couple screw builds in there.Buick Wildcate. T-bird. Corvair. Corvettes. Lots of bodies. Don't know what I'll do with it all. Especially the bull dozer. LOL! And what the heck is that long blue model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps46 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 The long blue model is a Revell Mickey Thompson Challenger, land speed record contender with 4 Pontiacs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factory stock is what i build, not decided on the colour yet,as I've got way too much planned before I even think of starting this one, but I'll either use the other set of wheels included in the kit, or I'd like to get hold of a set of steel wheels with the chrome hubcaps Edited December 19, 2019 by GeeBee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Among many other things, you have the body of an ITC '40 Mercury convertible. If you want to build it up, I may have some spare bits, plus I've cast the hubcaps from it.

I had no idea what it was and have no reason to keep it. I bought it thinking I could make something out of some of them and the 49 Ford looks about it. The 57 nomad is cool but the c pillar is gone in the back. No idea how to fix that. I think the Third was a promo or did they make a kit without an opening hood? No chassis. First thing is to clean them up and get a better idea of what's there. Most will be but up for trade. Like that bull dozer and Challenger 2.

Scott Colmer Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Got some mail today. The truck rims and tires are for a revived project I am back on. I widened to kit tires myself. I thought they came out pretty good until a friend was checking out the project and and "Yeah, I can see where you widened them right there." as he pointed to the seam. So these are an improvement. Hopefully, they will seat better than the modified kit items. This is another Monogram late 4os era balsa kit. I have three of the five now. (There are 4 cars and a boat) I'm looking for the other two- the Aquajet boat and the Terrajet land speed car. This Midjet is mint in the box. There is a mint Aquajet boat out there, but I have to see where things land after Christmas. I'll have to wait for the Terrajet to show up.

Good idea, I've got that kit, although I plan to use the steelies on the Nova, I can easily make a mould and cast them in resin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
