Thanks, but I've been trying to find that kit for years at a decent price.  I'm hoping I can find the hood when I go back to visit the seller again. 

I'm old, so pretty soon you might be able to buy it from my Estate Sale. :-)

Lol! Be sure to put my name on it and write it into your will for me, would ya? Would love to have it!

I remembered this post & kept meaning to respond to it. I see you have a Cunningham in your acquisition and was wondering what shape its in & what your plans are for it. I have 1 that I'm restoring, however before I realized what I had, I modified the wheels for use on another model. (I had acquired it in 1:32nd junkyard lot)  Although I may be able to restore the wheels for use on the Cunningham, I am hoping to find another set in original condition to replace the modified set. I was wondering if yours had all the wheels in good shape & if you would be interested in trading the wheels (or entire model) for??? (I need a taillight, too)  Sorry I don't have the PU hood

Two old models from a deceased friend's son and a few kits to add to the stash.

From the Kentuckys Largest Slot car show and Model car Swap meet on Sunday.  If you are into slot cars, this was a great show but was seriously lacking for the modelers.  The red Porsche is sealed.......never saw one of these before.  The yellow one is open but complete

Got an order of 3 sets of wheels from Plamoz today, first order from them.   Very nice wheels, only a week and a half for $5 to ship from Hong Kong to the US...no complaints.

Got a replacement resin hood for my 60 Ford off of a guy on FB. I was surprised when he sent me two for $7.95 shipped!

Nice that you were able to locate a hood for the '60!

With Modelhaus gone, I wouldn't have had much hope for that.

Just got these from a guy at work who picked them up at a yard sale for me. All complete. The Daytona is sealed inside. The Chevies have the engines nicely started. All for $10.

Not bad. Ordered from HLJ on Sept 21. Arrived here in Edmonton today. From Japan to Canada in less that a week, and without crazy shipping costs!

I wanted something different, and found this in 1/24 scale. Had to have it! I think I'm going to bump this up the queue and put it on the bench next.

 

And of course, needed some Japanese content to go on this truck when completed.

 

 

 

And some wheels for another project I have on the go.

What do you do for tires?

Very cool!!! ......isn't that shipping great?!!.....when I order stuff from N.Y., it takes 4 weeks!!!!!, and i'm only in Michigan!!!

[Super28]

Found these at Walmarts

[Super28]

Got the regular looking glasses at CVS Pharmacy. They're the most powerful they had at 3.25x for 10 dollars. Great for minor magnifying. The other ones I got on Ebay. (Paydays from Walmart)

Got this in today, freshly released from Scale Model Creators - a higher end Japanese resin caster that has specialized mostly in transkits for Fujimi Lamborghini Gallardo & Murcielago kits along with some Ferraris.

This is designed for the Tamiya MX-5 kit, body, some specific interior pieces, exhaust, different front brakes, sheet of P/E and decals.

What do you do for tires?

The wheels should fit the kit tires... 

[Jhedir6]

What do you do for tires?

Plamoz' wheels are a direct fit to the kit tires, unless he sells them as a set with tires, ie the Revell AMG and McLaren for example which have wheels and tires. 

How are the Shelby hubs? They looks fantastic, they're definitely going to be in my next order.

 

[Jhedir6]

Went shopping in the "big city" today and hit up both Michael's there cause they had a 50% off coupon. Used one at each store and picked up a couple more Shelby Mustangs for my collection.

'67 from the first, hadnt seen one there in like almost 2yrs, it must of been buried in the back or on a top shelf and they just found it. With tax, $20

'66 from the second, again, havent seen one of them at a Michael's for awhile now, must of been hidden somewhere. With tax, $18. 

Two nice Mustangs for less than $40...I'm happy.

Both stores tho had very little left in stock for model kits, and what they did have were 1-3 kits of each. Hopefully with HL getting some new stock Michael's in the US will update their stock and then send some fresh stuff North.

Well if you can afford several $140 resin transkits, more power to ya I guess. One was enough for me
