disabled modeler Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Not a bad way to cap off the day, especially after getting burned (literally) at work... Nice ones Chuck...! been after the White still waiting for it to show up at our hobby lobby yet.
Superpeterbilt Posted September 26, 2015 Author Posted September 26, 2015 Today was a great day at the model show! I scored some some unexpected kits. I normally don't post the prices, but this was too good to be true. I got the two fire trucks for $35.00, and the car hauler for $15.00!!!!.
disabled modeler Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Great haul Terry. Xs 2...a auto transporter kit for 15.oo...WOW...!
Tesla Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Great deal on those kits...yesterday was definitely a special one!
tbill Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Terry, great score on the car hauler! i picked up this lot yesterday,
Superpeterbilt Posted September 27, 2015 Author Posted September 27, 2015 Terry, great score on the car hauler! i picked up this lot yesterday, Come in Zebra 3! Nice haul Tom
Leonidas Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Great score on those two kits...I gotta get me one of those Lonestars someday...
Russell C Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 A composite of the two photos from the ebay listing I won, a pair of 32nd scale AMT kits. Though warned that such AMT wheels/tires are too small in diameter for replacements in my Monogram GMC General restoration, a first-glance comparison indicates I could get away with the swap, especially if I lower the cab/sleeper location and maybe raise the axles just a tad. At the very least, I can use the 5th wheel, air horns, quarter fenders, and a few other bits off the Ford. I was originally thinking I'd need the front wheels off the KW, but the more I look at the Ford fronts, the more I like that look. The KW is a complete but unboxed kit, while the Ford was missing parts. Took me more than an hour to de-grundge it and reduce it back to being completely separate pieces.
k100 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Just scored one of these , it was shipped yesterday
Superpeterbilt Posted October 1, 2015 Author Posted October 1, 2015 Excellent score. Im surprised there are still any left
gatorincebu Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Just scored one of these , it was shipped yesterday I got mine last month, It looks like one heck of a nice model. Be Well Gator

Russel , it is great to see you finally found a couple of parts donors. I have been intrigued with your General ever since you first showed it to us. Edited October 2, 2015 by Old Buckaroo
Mike77 Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) I got these over the past couple of days. The 1/16 Pete kits were Ebay purchases, one sealed and one open but complete. I picked up the Mack today at Hobby Lobby with the coupon. It was good to see something there other than their endless supply of Freightliner COEs. Edited October 2, 2015 by Mike77
Superpeterbilt Posted October 2, 2015 Author Posted October 2, 2015 Nice kits Mike. I wish more was available in 1/16. A truck that size can really be detailed to the max.

Russell C Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Russell , it is great to see you finally found a couple of parts donors. I have been intrigued with your General ever since you first showed it to us. Took a while, though, since around March or a bit earlier 2014 when I started to keep an eye on ebay. Won't take a whole lot now to get that General show back on the road, at least to the point where it looks a heckuva lot less toy-like. After a trip to the hobby shop for some 5/16th Plastruc channel for the frame rebuild/stretch, and away it goes.
Chuck Most Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Now, before everybody gets all excited, keep in mind this thing is an $8 parts lot... I'm still pretty pleased with the transaction, to be honest.
Petetrucker07 Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 I'd buy that even if all that was good is the cab and sleeper. Nice get Chuck.
Chuck Most Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 The original builder glued the sleeper doors on backwards, but since I don't intend to use the sleeper, no big deal. All the painted parts are in the Purple Pond as I type this.
