Early 50's Revell with multi piece body, same series as the Futura / Bat Mobile. It does build up nice with patience. Paul

That Groovy Grader is a cool lookin' ride. Would surely benefit from some aftermarket stuff with that engine hung out there like that.

I got the Eldorado about 3 weeks ago. Its basically a curbside it has no engine, chassis is molded in ,plastic tires, steel axles front and rear. It comes with a couple figures that need to be put together and painted so with a little work it could make a cool diorama.  |

Really looks like a very basic kit. |

I thought it would catch on but none of the Walmarts here carry any kits. I'm definitely glad to see that it's happening in a mainstream store though. Opens the opportunity to take this hobby up a little wider. |

I am definitely interested in the wagon and the salt flats racer. Got this weird idea in my head about that salt flats car....
Years ago Walmart used to carry models in my hometown. They never had a huge selection but it was easy to run down and get a new kit if I wanted one. Then about 10 years ago they started slashing prices and getting rid of them. Never got them back. I go to Hobby Lobby every now and then but would really rather go to a legit hobby store. There is a shop in Iowa that I get all of my RC car stuff from and they treat me very well. Shout out to Major Art and Hobby! Thanks for not telling my wife how much I REALLY spent on that RC car and the models....

I built a Deans Marine LTD RC Vietnam Brown Water Navy River Monitor. The couple we were out with asked my how much money tied up in the kit. I was trying to figure a non answer answer. My wife said $4500 so far. The wives know all |

Here is a link to fotki for some new kits from Keeler/ Atlantis ,Revell of Germany and Moebius. The Keeler's seem to be a lot of the old Revell Part Packs combined to build what Revell said you could build from the packs combined. public.fotki.com/ptcheshire/2021-2022-new-kits/ |
