A bit too late for the Mustang group build but my wife needed to spend a few more pounds to qualify for free delivery so I duly obliged cos I'm helpful like that! 😄

True but I have two builds on the go the Ferrari 330 p4 and a Cadillac Eldorado. Then I want to build the e type. At my pace it will be mid next year before I start on the Mustang!😄

Only two?  🧐   I have four in the Mustang GB alone...  no guarantee any of them will get finished though.  🙃

When I saw @airea's fantastic build of Zvezda's URAL 4320 I knew I wouldn't be able to resist very long. My LHS had it in stock so when I was "downtown" just now I went and got it. I will "civilianize" it like he did.

A huge truck, over 20 centimeters in 1/35. Excellent value for money as well, this kit. Box says 357 parts and I believe it. 3 large sprues and 3 smaller ones, cost just under €30.

The undersized wheels on the Bronco would bother me more...  those definitely need replacing.

But where would we get them from? I agree chunky off road tyres but again where from please?

 Fireball Modelworks has an accurate factory wheel & tyre set, but also offers a variety of chunkier off road tyres and wheels, as well as a resin fender flare set for the Bronco.

Another Tamiya classic.

I hope I didn't outbid anyone from here, the auction didn't reach half or what buy-it-now sellers were asking.  It looks like a nice kit, there's even some self-adhesive felt carpet.  Pity there's no engine but at least the seats have backs.

I want one but prices are always crazy when I find one. Hope you got a good deal.

It was about £46, not cheap but a lot better than the £100 buy-it-now prices I've seen.  If I hadn't bid it would have sold for about £35, I think.

That is a good deal imo, usually go for more here in Volvo-country.
