Bill Eh? Posted July 9, 2024 Share Posted July 9, 2024 (edited) 17 hours ago, A modeler named mike said: Showed up today by mail from a ebayer in Hawaii. I always like this car but never wanted to pay the crazy cost that they're bringing. I believe I got lucky with a $39.00 winning bid plus shipping and tax. Would make a really cool racecar or hot rod.. If you can find one, Tamiya has the racing version of this kit.

mrm Posted July 9, 2024 Share Posted July 9, 2024 (edited) This is THE MOST DANGEROUS THREAD on the entire forum! LOL It can get you in trouble with everyone you can think of in no time. your boss - "What are you looking at on company time?" wife- "what did you buy again?" kids -"dad, you've been in front of the screen for three hours!" eBay - "what is the exchange rate again and how much is the darn shipping from Canada?" your bank - "what do you mean there is an international fee?" ...and on and on... It all starts with "look what Jimmy got. I didn't even know there was one made! I gotta have this!". ???

I hadn't thought about it (it's sitting on top of my bookcases, with my other kitschy stuff) until you mentioned "Ideal". It's got an apparent V-8, in it.? While it's not super-detailed, I have a Monogram Kurtis Craft car I built about 30 years ago. It was one I got in the double kit, with the Edmunds Supermod. It was molded in red, so, of course I wanted it to be yellow! That is a perfect example to show why I disposed of my unbuilt kit. I am completely aware of my modelling abilities. steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The silver just stopped the red pigment, in its tracks. In a development I couldn't believe, this thing actually placed in Salt Lake City! I still don't know why or how it did. It's a very basic build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redscampi Posted July 11, 2024 Share Posted July 11, 2024 Not a car but just snagged this lot of great diorama bits for the opening bid. I'm especially stoked about the gas pumps. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Chastain Posted July 13, 2024 Share Posted July 13, 2024 Right place at the right time. Local hobby shop received a large selection of kits from a family member, their dad had passed away. All the car and pickup kits had sold quickly but the semi kits remained, so I bought the remainder of the truck kits. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niteowl7710 Posted July 14, 2024 Share Posted July 14, 2024 On 7/2/2024 at 11:28 AM, JollySipper said: I like the original NSX! It made it's debut when I was a budding young teen car guy. I've seen some that were even supercharged! From what I understand, both the Tamiya E31 and the NSX were both full detail? The E31 Bimmer is just the RevellAG kit reboxed with a better set of tires & instructions. The 1st Gen NSX is still in the active Tamiya catalog, I just picked one up at HLJ for $15.13. The Acura boxing was something done back when the car was new and was a specific kit for the North American market (via TamiyaUSA). But the current Honda NSX boxing comes with the LHD parts and Acura decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
