Superpeterbilt Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share 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!!!!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell C Posted September 30, 2015 Share 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.

Mike77 Posted October 2, 2015 Share 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.

Superpeterbilt Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell C Posted October 2, 2015 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted October 3, 2015 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I'd buy that even if all that was good is the cab and sleeper. Nice get Chuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted October 3, 2015 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
