Latest Acquisitions - pt.3
Re: Latest Acquisitions - pt.3
The Tony is the plated version which looks fantastic in the box - just have to figure out seams. It also has the decals for the boxtop camo which I intend to use 
Thanks,
John

Re: Latest Acquisitions - pt.3
Nice scores! I didn't really get anything for Christmas. I get money later that I'll use at the model show I'm going to in San Antonio on Jan 3rd.
I did have some curtains come in today. With the way I have the spray booth vented out, I couldn't lower the blinds all the way. So there was a big gap at the bottom with no privacy. My wife found the curtains and ordered them. Didn't think they'd come in this early.

Went to Hobbytown this afternoon and spent my $40 gift card from my son. I've been wanting this kit for a long time since it's re-release. I am planning on picking up a second one of this kit later next year.

I also picked up a couple Tamiya colors I needed - Rubber Black (lacquer color) and XF-8 Flat Blue

Those curtains are really cool. They look good in the modeling room.
Nice score on a cool Chevelle. Those always look good.

Re: Latest Acquisitions - pt.3
Funny story about that OA-4M. I had just started checking out the vendor area when I saw a guy holding that kit. I've been wanting it bad, but it's impossible to find at a decent price. I was saying to him in my head "You don't want it, put it back".
He did and I grabbed it and got it for $10. It'll need new decals but not a big deal.
