The Cobra 427 is pesumably the decent ex Monogram 1:24 one, that Revell have issued several times in the past - if so, good to see it back as it is much more accurate than the 1:25 289 kit they currently have available. Not a surprise though that there aren't any new tool car kits listed this time, given the recent run with the new tool Jag E Type, VW T2 bay window and impact bumper Porsche 911, all of which are already available in two variants. However, I was expecting perhaps a T2 panel van, given what they have done with their split screen tooling and the Porsche looks like there are parts for future variants on the sprues (not including the USA federal spec headlights & bigger rear bumper overriders, which are presumably for the USA market boxing). It will be interesting to see what the VW & Porsche tooling may become in the future (the Jag is unlikely to have other variants, except perhaps a racing one, as the Series 2 & 3 are sufficiently different to require major surgery to the moulds).
The chrome spray certainly looks intriguing, especially if it is as good as that article suggests. I've not used Alclad as I don't have a airbrush, but the previous spray cans I have tried have not been good, unlike Molotow pens, which have been excellent.
Aren't new tooled cars usually released in the second half of the year? We probably have to wait until January 1st for that announcement.
Also I am excited about the 1/8 Trans Am.

I like the color scheme. I remember trying to mask off the gutters when painting the roof on the Tamiya version it was a h*ll and I eventually gave up. You did a great job on yours.

I have a Scalemates account and I manage a "Wish list" there and every now and then I re-evaluate what's on there with "Am I really going to build that?". I have been saving up for our version of Telford which is in 2 weeks, but as I said earlier I don't know if that's going to take place. I'm now thinking of moving that money towards a little Silhouette cutter to be able to make paint masks.
I use Scalemates too to keep track of kits I want I think that is my problem I get a constant reminder of what kits I want instead of forgetting. But perhaps the real problem is I never re-evaluate I only add more and more...

I want the Impala but I ask myself do I need more kits?

Have you bought Tamiya's 1/12 version yet? It's on my to-buy list (that list is pretty long).

Tamiya's Porsche 911 GT3, at least I hope the wheels are the same size for both kits.

Excellent work. I barely have the patience to apply one decal I am very impressed.

As I suspected this arrived today:
It comes with a second set of wheels which I have a plan for. Unfortunately in order to realize that plan I need to buy another kit...

Sink marks have been the biggest issue I have seen lately, both on the new E-Type Coupe and 911 Coupe. Also the E-Type was badly packaged making the hood not fit the body anymore. Thankfully Revell's customer service is very good and quickly sent me a new hood and body that fit nicely.

Looks like a lot has been removed from the list compared to when I looked at it a couple of days ago.

I’ve been looking for one of those Judge kits for several years! Where did you find it?

At a Swedish store that only ships within Sweden unfortunately.

Great result.

Hopefully last purchase this year. Already have the BMW and Judge (older reissue which is not 2 in 1 I believe) but they were 25% off of an already good price so I could not help myself.

Airfix Austin Healey 1/32
AMT '57 Ford Thunderbird 1/16
AMT '57 Chrysler 300C 1/25
AMT '58 Plymouth Belvedere 1/25
Last time I checked they were still on a shelf in my old room at my parents' house. But who knows, maybe my parents have set fire to them by now.

Its not a car but it's very useful for putting things in! Found this in my my local model shop,and it cost £17. It's ideal as I intend to stack a few as long as I can get the same case or cases again. I have some odd expensive display cases but they vary vastly in size. I was unaware that Belkits made these too. Chris.
Below,an action shot.
Some years ago I built myself a line bending machine (think that is what it is called in english) with the purpose of creating my own display cases from acrylic sheets. I did some test bends and it was working well but then something else came up and I forgot about it. Seeing your photos makes me want to locate the machine and have another go at it.

I finally caved and ordered this during the weekend. Found it at a discount but still the most expensive 1/24 kit I have ever bought. I will keep looking for the Fujimi 1/16 version though.

Not surprisingly I didn't finish in time. Not entirely my fault, bad/missing parts and a bad reaction to the 2nd dose of covid vaccine didn't help. Despite all this it was fun to take part in a group build and one day I will make it in time maybe next time?

Is the blinged up one white with gold wheels on the box art? If so, according to a review on its Scalemates page, that still has all the parts to build the stock version (as per the gunmetal box art above) except for the raised soft top, which is replaced by a hardtop. The other additional parts are the gold wheels and a LHD interior. I built a stock one a while back, and it was an excellent kit.
You are right there is only a RHD dashboard in the S2000 kit I bought. Bit of a shame would have liked a LHD too I just picked the cheapest version. I just got a reason to buy the other version as well.

Nice collection, where id you get that Honda S2000 kit? I've been after one for some time but the only version I could see was some blinged up model rather than the nice stock variant that you've got.
Bought them all from a Polish store, here is the S2000: https://www.hobbysta.eu/honda-s2000-p-36775.html?currency=GBP

Hmm 6 at a time eh 🤔........I feel a shopping trip coming up 😉👍
As I mentioned earlier I have lots of empty space to fill up in my new house and no wife to stop me. This could become dangerous (and expensive).

I will try to get this thread back on track.
I have wanted the RX-7, NSX, 300ZX and Supra for quite a while but could never find a store that had them all in stock at the same time until recently. The other two I don't know why I bought but who knows maybe one day I feel like building them.

Suddenly I don't think I have a problem anymore. Unless having too few kits is a problem.
