Alan R Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Whilst not really a car or bike, I will be using it on both ... It's a real advance on my old Badger that finally gave up the ghost the other week after over 30 years of faithful service. I have already used it on a couple of my projects and it's a dream to use, though a bit of a night-mare to re-assemble after cleaning. I think that it's only a matter of getting used to it being a bit more complex in it's construction. Cheers, Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FG2Si Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Not sure on the conversion to £, but I picked this up for $320 CAD. I have never seen one that low so couldn't help myself. Carl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkita katana Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 A Mercedes 540k in 1/24 scale. A Bugatti type 41, also in 1/24 scale. A car I've been absolutely in love with since the days that Dad used to bring home Motorcraft calendars that had artwork of different kinds of cars each year. Can't remember now what year those old 1920's/30's beauties were but I do know whichever month the "Royale" was on, it was that month all year in my room. Oh and just purchased the Haynes manual for the 1/12 Lotus 72 I got stashed away. Might just have a go at changing a few little plastic bits for brass or aluminium when I get round to attempting that one. Who'd have thought the Bugatti would be the cheapest of the lot!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) I knew I was going to buy this one when it was announced end of last year - got a real weakness for the XJS. So when it turned up on the Hiroboy site... well, resistence was useless IMG_20180321_203552415[1] Blew pretty much all of the remainder of the 2018 budget I've allowed for kits, but don't think I'm going to run out this year Edited March 21, 2018 by Spiny 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rs2man Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Had this arrive from the States the other day . This arrived from Ebay yesterday And finally , I'm waiting for this to arrive from Japan . I've checked the instructions on Hobby Search & , although it's linked to some sort of TV programme , it seems the contents are the same as the standard Fujimi Pantera . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkita katana Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 My trio of "Old Classics" is completed with a Doozie Roadster joining the Bugatti and Mercedes. They look like really old kits too. All relatively cheap off ebay and in some state of abandonment. All major parts present except for the front screen for the Mercedes which is flat so should be easy to find something suitable. Classic Car SOS Bargain Hunt is my new favourite game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastcat Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Nice! Yes, the Duesenberg's nearly 50 years old now. It was kitted around 1970 originally but there's been several body changes along the way. I built one when I was a lad. I thought it was a brilliant kit back then. It's still pretty good - a few fit issues, some bits simplified etc. in the Monogram style but it can be built into a very nice model that looks impressive. Not quite Tamiya quality but it's a kit that they'll never do so it's well worth building. Good luck with all of them. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

von Race Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 This just arrived few hours ago. Pre-ordered from Hobby-Tokyo on daBay about a month ago. Would have liked the 71, fat fendered car, but hey, I'm not going to complain! Thank you Hasegawa!!! The more I look at it, the more I like it. Roll bars and "racing seats", the correct wheels, that I'm sure are period correct, given the overall quality of the kit. Defiantly going to clear the bench for this one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I managed to lift a mint Airfix Zodiac from a French ebayer last night on BIN. He obviously didn't know how much they fetch. It's been a good few years since I have seen one at that price. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan R Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Just arrived from the courier: The idea is to replace the rather 'weedy' wheels that come with the Fujimi Abarth 500 model. There may be a bit of a problem. The wheel has a 'male' fitment, and the Fujimi wheel has a 'female' fitment. I feel a time of experimentation coming on ... Cheers, Alan.

mbdesignart Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Revell Mk1 Golf GTi. A surprisingly well detailed kit from Revell, not sure how it will end up being built but it will be at the back of a ever increasing queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Merc AMG GT3 from Tamiya, and this from Belkits which I've always had a hankering for.
