Superpeterbilt Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Hey guys, some of us have shown off our collections on display and unbuilt kits. I think it would be cool to show off kits as we aquire them. Im starting a thread to post a pic of the kit, in the box or an old built up, and a little info on where it came from. No need to post prices, just showing whats out there. I like buying old built ups as much as unbuilt kits. Theres always a story with a built up. Who knows, maybe some of us are bidding on the same kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpeterbilt Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Ill go first, heres a few ebay grabs from the last few weeks. I can never have too many of these. Heres two kits I grabbed from the show this past saturday. This was literally the only two truck related kits in a sea of airplanes and tanks. The IH is rare, and I dont have this issue of the dozer.

Petetrucker07 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) I just got another amt freightshaker cabover, from Hobby Lobby, gonna look at another HL tomorrow. And as soon as i find out what shipping is, i will be getting my 1st Autocar! Edited September 27, 2014 by Petetrucker07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpeterbilt Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Heres a few more ebay grabs. Ill probably cut the KW down to a daycab. As for the trailer, its just going in my stash for now. Heres a first gear Mack B61. I like grabbing these when I can. I buy them for the wrecker bodies, then rebuild the truck. I grind off all of mounting tabs, and glue it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarsam326 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 man terry, you've got a small fortune in those autocar kits, especially coming from ebay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 nothing real recent, but here are a few of my snags so far this year, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpeterbilt Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 man terry, you've got a small fortune in those autocar kits, especially coming from ebay! I keep it at a reasonable price. I have a rule, if its below my price I grab it. If its a dollar above, Ive got plenty of them already. Let someone else have it. Sometimes one slips by that no one sees........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpeterbilt Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 That is a good swoop Tom. There are some great kits there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Terry, I usually show restraint when 'shopping', most of those kits were bought quite reasonably. the score of the bunch was the prestige auto hauler kit, [truck, trailer and both cars, complete minus decals], landed that one for $150 [that included shipping cost], and no, it wasn't an e-bay purchase, just right place/time kinda thing. I do like it when an e-bay item 'slips thru the radar', have caught some real good buys on things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superpeterbilt Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Clayton, just a suggestion, It would be cool if you cut one of those cabovers to a daycab and hitch it to that gravel trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 That thought has crossed my mind. For that trailer and just as a bobtail. Tomorrow im gettin a revell snap pete in trade for finishing my buddies cabover freightshaker. So theres a great score, free. Just a little of my time.
