Alan R Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) A couple more recently delivered by the postie: This is to complement the Jägermeister version, that I bought recently. This is getting quite hard to find as Revell don't list it on their web-site any more. This was a lucky strike after some web-trawling... If I buy the Martini Version. I'll have the set. (Maybe next year...) This represents a much later version of the 911. The suspension at the rear, for example, is quite different from earlier versions. I do have a soft spot for Porsches. I fancy the 959 as well, plus a few more of the better 'Enthusiast' series Fujimi porkers... Cheers, Alan.

JeroenS Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I saw this one on the second hand site this week. It had already been on there for a couple of days, the price was very good and there were no serious biddings yet. I mean, €15 for this? No. Seller had not responded to that. So I took the bait and it was mine. Normally these things are gone almost the minute they're posted so I guess I got lucky. Maybe everybody had already spent their money on black friday stuff. I now have 2 of these I also have a great little book on the Krupp and it's full of different versions so now I can convert 2 of them 🙂 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wishing to tempt you to part with more cash but Jumblies has the Martini version for quite a good price. And talking of Martini I was tempted to buy this fine looking decal set. Should build into an attractive bike. One day. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I just 'won' on ebay a 1/43 South Eastern Finecast Austin 7 Ulster white metal kit I really did not want to 'win' it. I 'bid' much too much for it. I was hoping some other muggins would out bid me for it I got it for 80% of rrp so its not all bad 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade H Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 @Stef N. Stef, I think that you bought the last set of those decals, you jammy so-and-so! They're out of of stock now. 😠 Just when I got the itch to buy another Panigale kit as well. 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef N. Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Sorry mate. I wasn't even thinking of buying anything, just browsing, but that was too tempting. 😳😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 This ain't a kit but I thought I'd share it with fellow petrol-heads We, my family, are Austineers, we like Austin 7s, especially the two-seat Tourer known as the 'Ulster', cos we have two. Thus I like to buy things of A7s and the Ulster in particular - see post above I came across this and thought it odd so I bought one; a postage stamp issued by Puntland of Somalia featuring an Austin 7 Ulster. It seems it was issued about 2010 and Puntland have issued a whole range of stamps featuring various vintage and classic cars. Other countries have done so as well but Puntland doesn't come to mind very speedily The stamps are very cheap. I think I see me reviving my old childhood hobby of stamp collecting! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often thought that it would be a good basis for converting back to its origins: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/heller-700-bmw-dixi--994897 I have one somewhere in my stash, so could send some pics of the parts if that's of interest?

Unfortunately the 'Dixi' is a mirrored A7. It'll take a lot of work to make into an A7, even the chassis is mirrored. I have a kit to finish I do have a couple of East German Austin 7 kits though. One might get a scratch built body and 'Ulster' gubbins Officially the 'Ulster' was only the factory 4 racing cars, the works-replicas (about 330 afair) were 'two seat tourers' 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for A7 kits, Southeast Finecast does an Austin 7 but I don't know how easy it would be to chop it about? I drove an Austin 7 for the first time this year, a 2-seat sort-of Ulster, and absolutely loved it. Definitely a car to buy when circumstances permit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnlambert Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I treated myself yesterday. Technically it doesn't break my rule about not buying any more kits, because it is to convert one of my existing Aoshima MGBs. I ordered it with a set of resin V8 alloys, so at some point I hope I'll have a half-convincing MGB GT V8 on my shelf. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also bought it when it came out and it looks like it's a good one. And with the V8 alloys it should look like a V8GT. Marco F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan R Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I keep thinking about this trans-kit, but then I would have to buy the Aoshima MGB as well. Maybe one day.,, Cheers, Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthewbacon Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Oh you bad, bad people… now I’ve gone and pre-ordered the Sebring MGC as well… I do have a fair few of the base kits, mind, thanks to a lucky charity shop pair and a local model shop clearing the Airfix boxed edition for £10 each a few years ago… best, M. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
