Black Knight Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Today I picked up one of the grail kits of 1/32 cars; an Airfix Lotus Cortina. A fellow club member offered it to me. He started the kit years ago and isn't interested in finishing it. All he's done is painted the bonnet black and slapped some green on the sides - all easily cleaned off. I offered a reasonable price for it and he accepted Now, its mine . . . . MINE! I tell you. . . all mine! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fnick Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) That is the car I really wanted to get my hands on. Well the revell version actually but this one will do nicely! 😁 Seller has already painted the body ( and done a good job of it but it's not the colour I will go for so it will have to go) . I really need to stop looking at eBay... My stash has doubled to two cars! 😂 Nick Edited March 6, 2021 by Fnick 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 No kits, but a small parcel of paints from Gravity in Spain, mainly as a test to see what it's now like to buy from the EU and whether I'd get stung for customs and collection charges - answer was no problem in the delivery, shipping was no more expensive than before the B word, and there were no nasty surprise charges. Whether that continues to be so, remains to be seen! Anyway, service from Gravity Paints and DHL was brilliant - order placed late on Monday 1st March, shipped on 2nd and delivered by DHL lunchtime on Friday 5th! Got 5 pots of paint, Porsche Mint Green, Rubystone Red and Lava Orange, and Calberson Red and Yellow for my next rally car build, the Italeri Renault 5 GT in Calberson (suprisingly!) colour scheme.

I'm trying to hold off any kit buying but I did buy a lot of paint to help me complete some of the cars in my stash. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if you watch youtube vids, but Paul Bretland of International Scale Modeller who turns out some very nice car models now rates them as his favourite paint and he does get some excellent results with them.

cmatthewbacon Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 A couple of interesting things arrived today: The C1 Models transkit to turn an Aoshima MGB into a MGB V8 Coupe Looks very cleanly moulded and straightforward to use. And then there's this: I know these Hornby (Scalextric-derived) kits don't have the greatest reputation, but how else am I going to get a TVR on my shelves that's not a teeny-tiny resin or white metal kit? 😜 best, M. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to receiving mine but I am also waiting with horror to find out how much it will cost me because of Brexit. I pre-ordered back in December and forgot about Brexit.

galaxyg Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 These are what I bought over the last 4 months or so. All from Fleabay except the Senna. The Scaglietti also came with P/E parts attached to the box as part of the auction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlambert Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 @galaxyg I'm very interested in that Ferrari 612 Scagletti, I didn't know the 612 had been produced in kit form, but now I do and it's another one for my wish list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
