PatW Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 I hope to find one of these at a reasonable price.. I've looked on the web and prices are between $80 and a $140 plus shipping of up to $50! They must be difficult to get or short on stock! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone here might have an extra to trade even though you're way across the ocean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it would make an excellent Batmobile! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen it either, but I too have a tractor in need of a trailer. Looks like a a nicely detailed kit… Have you opened the 1/32nd trailer yet, could it be cut down to make a 1/24th car hauler? Just wondering.

atomicholiday Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Mail call. In my humble opinion, one of the sexiest machines on four wheels. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering. Yeah, kinda, sort of. Didn’t open the inner bags, but the trailer floor wasn’t bagged. I’m not sure how you envision your trailer so I took some pics of it and a partial mockup of the AMT 1/25 single car trailer for comparison. The 1/32 trailer measures 3” wide. The 1/25 trailer is 5” wide including the fenders, 3 5/8” wide without the fenders. Hope this helps.

Nope. The a couple of the pillars were broken. Both are going back tomorrow for replacement.👍 The funny thing is that the Subaru wasn’t even shipped in a box. It was in a white bag, and it was fine.

Ace-Garageguy Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 (edited) Testing some trans mods I made on the new-to-me '96 S10 Blazer, and needed a pretty good driving loop this evening...so I headed to Ollies, which is pretty much way out of my way normally, and traffic-congested both ways, every day. Not much traffic tonight at 8:30, and not much car kit selection either. Only thing I was even remotely interested in was the Barris T-Buggy, as it looked like it might have some decent wheels, tires, a Corvair engine...and I assumed it would have a Beetle chassis I could use, and that I could at least cut the hideous body down into something cool to put on it. Turned out to be about the most useless parts source I've ever opened, with the tires, wheels, and engine being all I'll probably ever find homes for. No Bug chassis, and there's not much hope for the odd Rolls-nosed body shell. Edited August 29 by Ace-Garageguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, then there's that Rickshaw thing. That's got to be the worst of them all. Just overbearing and weird. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't get past the gag reflex long enough to even try to figure out if there might be anything useful in the box. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
