dbostream Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Bought another kit that I don't really need (buying something you need is usually boring imo) as I already have the 500 version which I believe is mostly the same. But it looks like a nice kit and now I can build both versions. Edited July 23, 2021 by dbostream 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlambert Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Someone mentioned a possible Matchbox group build, and I've always liked the Volkswagen Scirocco Mk1. It's partially built but it looks like everything is there. Red plastic, joy! I'll probably try and remove the moulded in side marker lights for a more European look. I'm also tempted to go with metallic green, blue or even brown as per the UK market Scirocco Storm. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef N. Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Picked this up on my little travels. Nice little kit by the looks of it. Update of an old Protar kit. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I promised myself I wouldn't be buying anything, purely in the shop for a mooch. But that was too nice and not expensive. 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 A second Tamiya 1/12 Porsche 934 Jagermeister kit, with the Tamiya etch included. The price was very good, and seeing as I made money by on-selling my last one, without the etch (to a complete knob - long story, don't ask, not that anyone will), this was, as they say, a no-brainer. But I'll keep this'un for me, and hopefully be able to add its sister 935 kit at some juncture. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef N. Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Aye, that blue is a very good colour. I like the red with black interior but that has piqued my interest. Cheers.👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco F. Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I built the100-6 in the '90,it was a Matchbox boxed one, much too early for the GB😂...but it's still a good kit considering it's age, bcs the Revell Box was from '60. @Stef N. comes the Alfa with an engine? If i remember right sometimes in it's comeback history it was an curbside. The blue suits it real good, but it was also avaiable in a pale blue with dark blue interieur which was also a nice combo @johnlambertthe Scirocco in bright green metallic with BBS wheels looked great in these days. @dbostream great kit and minimum 2 versions to choose, so it should offer a lot of fun Marco F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busnproplinerfan Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Snagged a 67 Mustang GT 350 and a 77 Ford surfer van, stuck with full price but oh well. Want to make Jim Morrison's Mustang using the 68 GT 500 for the engine and decals. Plamoz used to make a nice set of resin wheels, the kit ones are horrid. But they stopped making them recently. Problem is I lost the GT 500 in the house somewhere and don't want to buy another. The van, along with a parts one will be lengthened into an E250 Club Wagon and made into Terry Fox's van. It's been found and restored in the mid 2000s, now sits in a museum in B.C. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
