I hope that too  ! I'm not quite sure which one of them I should start first... I'm really interested in those Ford Pickups as they seem to be super nice kits, but same thing goes to that Satellite as well. Then again after seeing many beautiful Front Engine Dragsters in the States, I'd definitely like to start that Sizzler Dragster too, but also Justice Brother's Automotive Museum with a huge collection of those Midgets inspired me to build one of them as well... Tough decision, right?  Then I currently have that '65 Cortina Street Altered on my bench... Before starting any new ones I'd like to have a little more done on that. Maybe I'll start a WIP thread on that one anyway. |

Nice score Niko. That should keep you busy for a while!  |

Thanks. Those Moebius kits and that Sizzler Dragster were the ones I was specifically looking for. I just couldn't pass the other two either while they had reasonable price tags in them too. They definitely should keep me busy. And with the amount of kits I have already, I think they're enough for my lifetime but still new kits just keep coming and coming. Luckily I'm not the only modeler with this same problem.  |

This AMT Boss Nova just arrived yesterday. It's unstarted otherwise, but body has been painted with red that has very heavy Metal Flake in it. It looks good but unfortunately I have to strip the paint as I'll be converting this into a normal street car.  |

That Deuce looks very nice and clean! Great score! It would be great to have one of those myself too, but bad thing is that if they're complete and in good condition, they're not cheap. Maybe some day then though... |

Great score Bob! One of those is on my grail list also. Are they molded in white?

Thanks guys , I think I got this for about half of what it would have cost a year ago so I'm happy ! It's molded in white , you can see where the original paint is actually peeling up in several places . The plastic underneath is nice and smooth so I bet it will be an easy one to strip !  |

I've always held the belief that the most accurate representations of late 50's-early 60's "Golden Age" hot rods were done by Monogram. Those wheels and tires would make any model*, but combined with the classic full-fendered styling of the Little Deuce, it screams Early Times Car Club all the way. Can't wait to see the deft touch of your restoration in 2016! Happy New Year! *They still can be founded on the recently re-issued "Lil Coffin, thankfully. But Revellogram would do well to restore and re-issue the genuine versions of these classic kits. I have no doubt the resultant sales would be worth the effort and tt would make for a lot of very happy modelers who can't/won't go for these otherwise!  |

Santa brought me these. Both of those kits seem to be great quality so I'm interested in seeing what can I do with them. The '40 Ford will be built as an Early '60s style Hot Rod and that '57 Chevy Funny Car will be built pretty much OOB except for added detailing of course. Only problem with that kit is that my copy iss missing a rear bumper... I think I will modify one stock '57 Bel Air bumper from AMT kit to fit to that FC body.  |

Well luckily a friend of mine had a spare rear bumper for that '57 Funny Car so now I have everything to start it. Then this Trumpeter '63 Nova body came in the mail too. I'll be using rear quarter panels on that Boss Nova Wagon to have stock rear wheel openings in it. Then I just have to figure out what should I do with the rest of that Trumpeter body...   |

Got this in the mail a few days ago. I'm still experimenting with it but so far looks as good as if not better than Alclad with the convenience of a spray can.  |

I just bought a Monogram 1/32 Malibu. I have never been a huge fan of these smaller scale kits, but this G-Body Malibu was a must have. I'd like to build it factory stock, like it was sold in Finland as new in 1979. But since the kit doesn't have stock wheels and tires I guess I'll have to make it a regular daily driver then and not a showroom stock car...  |

It's an interweb thing.....
