I guess I spoiled myself today.

At 40% off, I had to.

I do build them sometimes too. :D

Re: Model Kits
 

Picked up this AMT 1950 3100 Chevy truck the other day. Heading out Monday to pick up some Testers paint and get started. This will be my first build since the early 60's. Found these wheels and tire that online that are an exact match to what I have on my 1949 Chevy 5 window full size truck. I'm going to try and memic my 49.

I beg to argue with you about this point. :lol:
Case in point A, Porndy:
Monogram Porsche 904, slot car era curbside, meet Monogram Indy race car V8, really "historic" stored in the basement of the museum.

Case B, Mongrel:
Monogram Ferrari 275P, slot car era, meet Revell 360 Modena V8.

Case C, just plain scarce Ferraris:

Case D, Celilexus:
Believe it or not, the Toyota Celsior (Lexus in the US) is a rare kit, V8 and chassis pan slipped in.

Case E, AMT '72 pickup (converted to '69):
Heard rumors of a re-pop, should be very popular.

Current WIP is a long out of production kit of a rare subject, from a dead company. Also not a Chevy, but the Lamborghini Cheetah (not the LM002). So I am into wrecking the value of collectible kits that are going for stupid money on eBay.

Re: Model Kits
 

i just picked up this reproduction 72 chevy ramp truck...

Re: Model Kits
 

That's cool that one is being done. I've collected one of each original but I stock up on these re-issues for when I'm ready to build them. Just too much on my plate these days

Re: Model Kits
 

I was wondering if one of the models kits you have, if I can still find one. It's the 1970 Chevy Tuck made by MPC 1/25 scale NHRA C20 kits with 2building versions. I would love to get my hands on that model kit.

Re: Model Kits
 

I don't know if that one has been redone. It certainly is about my favorite. The one kit that has evaded me I only saw once on Ebay over 10 years ago. I think it was a '70 AMT kit, but was a Europe issue. Coolest box art ever. I have it pictured in my head, lost actual picture in a computer crash a couple laptops back. It's art, not a photo, of a driveway scene. Garage door open, truck part way in, front sticking out, behind a front engine rail dragster. What I wouldn't give for that one. I was to broke to buy a pot to piss in that week. I think it was during the recession. I'd be happy with just a picture of the box top to enlarge and frame. The Holy Grail of Chevy Truck model kits. I guess there were other European issue kits in other years. That's the only one I ever knew of. I believe that one was in England or France

Re: Model Kits
 

I found this at Walmart a couple of days ago.

Re: Model Kits
 

JIMBO!! What a wild concept? A wild 4wd dragster! Such a cool picture. I didn't know Walmart sold kits. Maybe it's just some. I know they had stopped selling them years ago. Heck, my Walmart hardly has Hot Wheels anymore. I rarely even go to the toy section to look. Always a waste of time.

I haven't been doing collecting in recent years. The re-issued kits have really taken off. I need to start accumulating some for the day I slow down and can put the time into building again

Re: Model Kits
 

These were in a middle isle on a big display They don't normally sell them I didn't think . I have about 5 kits now that need built.

Re: Model Kits
 

I just got another kit for Christmas. A Scout II, I may have to paint it Ceylon Green Metallic whenever I build it.
