Nice. Like the flair side a lot and I have the car lift. Unfortunately I lost the little airgun that goes to it.

Just picked up from the post office. Both come with a pe set and glass. The reason I got 2 is I couldn't decided between the square lights pictured on the box or the morette style twin light conversion. They also both have euro and us rear parts included. The quality is just as good as the ucsp wagon I am currently finishing off

I've never dealt with Jimmy Flintstone before, although I've heard nothing but good things about there products, so I've just ordered a few '57 Ford's, a Ranchero pick up and Courier van

Got this in the mail from Steve G. [thanks again!]

There were stickers on the seats, came right off like scotch tape.

I'd been wanting a '64 Pontiac to do a mild custom ,, shaved trim and door handles and painted candy orange but the trim on this one is too nice to shave off so it'll be more of a stock build , just  nice paint, lowered with white walls and some sort of mags.

Gotta decide on a new color now though.

If it wasn't for the hole in the hood, it would be darned near perfect! ;)

You don't get to paint it "Sunfire Red"!

That one is mine!! :D

I woke up in the middle of the night last night with the color ,,, light sage green pearl.  Medium sage top. 

something along these lines. I think it works good with the strait, slab sides of the car, similar to what the Pontiac has.

The color was "Pinehurst Green" in 1964.

Must have been a fairly rare color.

I haven't found a single picture of a '64 Grand Prix in that color.

But I did find this Catalina.

Looks good in that color!

Once again, caught them other cats napping:

Nearly complete '62 Chrysler with some duplicate bits; looks like a mix of original and reissue, but most importantly:

2135115467_62chryslerstuff2.jpg.9f272fbb4767146757f948c37d935767.jpg

Original issue interior :D. Been after one for a long time! Can't believe there were no other bids at $19.99. Needs a rear bumper and maybe headlights but those are easier to get.

Got this today. Only auto kit there besides planes and ships. Molded in orange. Edit - Save your money. Nothing lines up. The chassis is too long and the screw holes don't line up. Not a great kit. But I got some nice mags out of it. :)

Nice Ranchero.  I am hanging on to a glue bomb original that I hope to salvage someday.

Hey Deuces- what would it take to talk you out of the side mirror on that 57 Ford since you're going to build it as a Gasser? I still need one more for my project.

I attended a car show with a garage sale on the side.  I took my '68 Chevy pickup, and displayed some of my dioramas in the bed, which is fun to watch people check it out.  I looked at the junk for sale, and got the only model kit in the place, the Revell Ferrari Superamerica (575M), $10.

Picked these up at Hobby Lobby to try out........and yes, that is the right pricing!

Bought some Galaxy Purple last time I was there, but that's upstairs right now.

I got one of the newish Revell Ford GT Le Mans kits from Amazon. ( Hey, I needed something to bring the dimmer switch for our halogen torch lamp over the free shipping threshold.)  It looks nice and now have to decide what color scheme to use.  Indycals have a very nice selection.

I just  got  home and  found  3   boxes on my  front porch  two  containing    the  Revell Mercedes Benz   Actros  MP4  and  the other    containing  the Italeri Pete378  Long  Hauler  and   the  Italeri   Volvo FH4 Globetrotter XL
