Look what HE got me to pick up at the model swap

[sdrodder]

Well on saturday we had a little model show and air show at the local small airfield. Well went there and met some guys from model cars mag. Well browsed the 2 halls of stuff. Well it was on an air field so the theme was mainly military. So most of the stuff was military from planes to ships to tanks. But mixed in were some pretty awsome finds. I bought about 30 bucks of stuff. A amt 57 chevy with the opening trunk and all the details for 8 bucks, a started 32 ford coupe(great for what i want it for) for 4 bucks, a testors bonniville go cart for 5 bucks, and an orignal lincoln futura junker from 1959, a lancia stratos(dad was really liking the partly built thing so i decided to get it for him and finish it), a pretty good condition dragster frame, and a corvette gasser junker for 13 bucks. Overall it was a good haul and i meet some nice guys there too that want me to go to nnl so i already started a build ;D

Onto the pics. Glad HE made me pic this stuff up. Now i have more project options and some nice parts to finish some other cars.




















Just thought i would share.


Thanks and God Bless

Looks like a pretty good haul there Flow. Lots of good kits and parts. I need to find one of those Testors salt shakers.

Great score Florian.

The 57 & 32 are nice kits. The only
thing to watch on the 57 is that the
lip for the deck lid or the deck lid
needs to be re-worked for it to sit
flush with the body.

The Testors Bonneville car is actually
1/32 scale. It doesn't represent any
one car, but to capture the look of
the Streamliners that were run in the
50's and 60's. They were originally
released by Hawk in 61-62. I hadn't
thought of them as a "Kart" though,
but with a 1/25 'cycle engine it would
work. Cool idea.

The 'vette and dragster are too cool.
It would be neat to see them restored
like they were way back then.

Flow:

That model you listed as a "Bonneville Go-Cart" is actually a 1/32 scale rendition of a Bonneville racer. I built all 4 cars in the series back in the day. There is a rubber band in the kit to give it some motivation. I'd like to get all of them again even though I don't normally build anything but 1/24-25. There are some old kits from the early-mid 60s that I'd like to get again some day, mostly Monogram 49ers and Aurora 1/32 cars. Maybe even a couple Lindberg kits, but not many ;D ;D

Niice haul Flo, really got some good ones there. I have never seen the Salt Flat racer before but looks good. I had a Deuce coupe like that one and it's got some great parts, really like those mags in that kit.
