shood23 Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Pretty simple follow on from the orginal thread which has now been locked. Post what you've bought as long as it falls within the automotive section. Get buying guys Shaun
Darby Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 Mrs Darby recently bought a Triumph Speedmaster in 1/1 scale. 4 1

Séan Pádraig Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 I finally succumbed and bought the Revell BMW i8 2
vontrips Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 I finally succumbed and bought the Revell BMW i8 Bought my Litlun a radio control version of the prototype, about 1/12th scale. Considering how cheap it was it's quite an accurate rendition. Tempted to detail it!
helios16v Posted September 13, 2016 Posted September 13, 2016 I wondered how long this thread would go before re-opening. Still awaiting a package from Japan with the GTi & CRX.
MikeGTC Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 I bought a BMW i8, 2013 Camaro ZL1 and a Mustang GT 500 Failed at not buying kits for a while... 1
injidup Posted September 14, 2016 Posted September 14, 2016 Sorry to hear about your failure Mike. Hope you have some more!
arni Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 Got a couple of oldies,the Dodge I have built before. The Celica is new to me however.dodge
arni Posted September 15, 2016 Posted September 15, 2016 I was pleasantly surprised when opening this as it is NOT a kerbside and has a nice V12! The bad actor I always wanted but never got,while the other one has a twin turbo V8! Have three of these now... The bug is a repop of the Lindberg kit and slightly large.... Never had this a sprint car 1
shood23 Posted September 15, 2016 Author Posted September 15, 2016 My order from kitsforcash.com turned up today and I was plesently surprised as the tamiya porsche 956 Rothmans car I ordered came with a set of speedline decals to make the marlboro car from 1983 which works out really nicely as I have a spare 956 in the stash which I didn't have a plan for Shaun
D1fuN0 Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Afternoon Chaps A bountiful morning... First up, a swappie... Swapped a silly Ferrari for this magnificent '64 vintage monogram Jaguar XK-E... Right... onto the main feature. One of the shops was having a sale of a deceased estate of kits. It had been pretty much picked by the time I got there this morning, but i did manage to pick up these lovelies... Three white metal lovelies from Motorkits Some more white metal lovelies from Tin Wizard & Auto Replicas A morgan A wee Rover And one I have been looking for for a loooong time... A Maserati 3500GT (still sealed) And then, well! from 1961, A Hawk W163 1936 Mercedes Racer. One of those kits that when you see it, you just have to have it... Need a lie down now Mad Steve 5
Long haired david Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 Fujimi 1:24 Ford GT40 Mk-II - 1966 Le Mans 2nd Place. This is to add to my collection of Bruce McLaren/Chris Amon and Dan Gurney/Jerry Grant models that I already have. 5
shood23 Posted September 19, 2016 Author Posted September 19, 2016 Just picked one of these up from hiroboy today Never really liked the highly modded cars but this looks really nice Shaun 2
Will Vale Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 I have just acquired the 1/20 Tamiya Tyrrell P34 with the etch bits, which look like they'll make it into an excellent model out of the box. I had another F1 project in mind (Camel Lotus 102B) but that needs modification so it seemed like a good idea to do something simpler first. I'm also eyeing up the Bimota Tesi after seeing Pappy's build of it, and some on-line pictures of naked bikes. Phwooar etc. W
Parabat Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Just bought the Tamiya 1/20 F2001 and F60 F1 cars and also ordered the Fujimi F2007 in 1/20. I'm waiting on the Tamiya 1/12 Yamaha YZR-M1 '04.
Spad Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Ken Miles' 1966 GT40 (well chuffed!), 2005 Raybrig NS-X plus Zero blue/violet and the recent re-pop of the Revell BRE Datsun 240Z. Pretty pleased all round really! Rick, the chuffed! 1
arni Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 This Pinto was a REAL bargain. The tardis has working lights and sound. Last time I built this kit (late 80s ) I put the chassis under a Mercedes sec... The porker is ok.
dbostream Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 Have been waiting for this Sunbeam Tiger to get reissued and I finally got it.

vontrips Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) Oops...suffering from Monkey madness! http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/16032monkey_40th/index.htm I have an excuse though - I've lost the top triple tree on the Dax. Will have to cast another from this. Edited October 1, 2016 by vontrips

There's some mold flash on some of the pieces but overall I think it looks good for an old kit. Nice rubber tires but the instructions are kind of crap, but it looks like an easy kit to build so it is not a big deal. How everything fits together I have to wait and see until I build it (hopefully soon).
shood23 Posted October 9, 2016 Author Posted October 9, 2016 Just picked up a fujimi ferrari f138 for a very good price Shaun
