Recent purchases - what did you get lately for your stash?

Been a while since we had one of these threads?
Curious to see whats everyone is getting and maybe get some ideas (not that I need more stuff).

I'll start - been on a 90's Japanese cars kick lately, so I got myself two old Tamiyas - R32 GT-R and a RX-7 R1 kits. Man, was old Tamiya a bit crude or what? :rofl:

Got any pictures of that USCP E36 M3 body kit and interior set?
RX-7 has not been re-released, at least I got the old kit.

I recently bought on eBay a Fujimi Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet and a Revell BMW 507. I have a new Miata and the re-release Fujimi BMW 635csi on order at HLJ.

Got any pictures of that USCP E36 M3 body kit and interior set?

Cool, thanks for the link. RHD?

I actually got LHD. I just clicked on whatever first came up on the site.

Just scored a jaguar XJR-14 which I've been after for a while

Before that this year,

hummer and roof rack upgrade,

USP Eleanor from gone in 60s transkit and the revell kit to go with,

golf pirelli edition

356 speedster,

Lambo 3000 silhouette,

Lotus Elan

Walter wolf countach

Porsche 908

And at the start of the year most of the new lambo kits

I've spent too much. Boredom while working away and collecting for the future for when the kids are a bit older and I have less work commitments.

I think I may sell some of my bigger scale kits but I can't think about not having them to do!!

Lately I've been on a bit of an F1 buying spree. Picked up a couple of Ferraris and the Red Bull RB6 with the super detail set. Also a couple of BMWs I couldn't resist were the Beemax E30 M3 and the Hasagewa 2002 Turbo

no pics just yet, but the most recent is a 1/24 MFH XJR-9

Yes, I'm picking up both 2002 and Turbo later as well. So glad Hasegawa released these kits. Anyone doing engine trans/kits for these?

Not that I've seen but it would be a nice addition

I had MFH 12th GTO kit, got one as soon as these were released. Looked at it for a couple of months, and realized I simply have no room for it. So I sold it.
But yah, great kit.

Eh, plasticard, evergreen, some glue... sandgrip... 😆

That's important.
With your scratchbuilding skills, its like buying a new kit, only.....way more advanced.... :)

Got these two bad boys off eBay today:

I think I've been clean now for over a year.... :uhoh:

But my most recent acquisitions were a Hasegawa 318i BTCC, and a 2002. And two of those Beemax E30 M3s. :cool:

Hi. I've recently purchased several wheel sets from Fugu Garage and several GT-R kits. Pictures to come later. I am going to start posting here again as I think of it as "home". I still build the same stuff I used to.

Score!

Glad you're buying Alex, hopefully to see you soon at work!

I never bought a F1, not in the last 10 years... something that needed to be fixed.... I bought the first, the Williams FW07, in April 2018... all other are newer bough this last summer (except the F310 and the T3 that are older)

It is. I first saw it on Hiroboy, but already out of stock. There are a few on Eb@y, but for big $$. I bought mine at HLJ.

My newest kits added to the stash. I've recently started working on the GT40 MKII and will get a WIP going on it once I can get a good chunk of the work started.

Not quite new but I found this chardonnet Stratos lately after I thought it had gone missing at my parents while I clear my old shed out to make a new workshop

For the past half year, a lot has come to the camp.
1:12 MFH mp 4-8,4-4; Lotus 98T, 99T; Williams FW11B, FW16; Brabham BT52B; Toleman TG184; Lancia 037; and a Tyrrell P34 that I have been working on for some time but can not get any further. To the AZRM rims are the Tamiya 1:12 MP4-6, 641/2, and two FW14B with TVR standard u. Bremsenset. Now I just miss the Side Pob detailset. That was when I think so now, expensive 1-2 years. I made a bargain on a 1:12 Rosso NSX Item 12001. Although he does not fit in my collection.

Is Rosso NSX kit full detail?

Picked this one up on Ebay last week. I already have a couple in the stash but couldn't resist due to the condition

I'm yet to build this kit, as I'm waiting for somebody to make a GT-R transkit for it.

Is the 488 Spider already for sale? Where did you get yours?

They are available at hobbyeasy for 192EUR, which is a fair price!

Got this kit over the weekend.

What is inside the box? Never heard of SMP!

What is inside the box? Never heard of SMP!

SMP24 is a very small garage 1-man crew from Japan. Takashi Nishimura is his name, and he does very cool, fully-detailed models of obscure subjects, mostly Italian. Ferraris, Alfas, Maseratis, Lancias, Lamborghinis.

I have several of his kits, they are not perfect, but very cool subjects that nobody else does.

I don't have my own pictures, but here is the contents, minus decals and photoetch:

Here a SMPmodel build. Good level of details but very average casting, bad fitting and the usual problems with all similar resin kits (like windows, wheeles positions, etc, etc...).

You can found also a WIP on our Greek Forum:

Hope it helps.

Good level of details but very average casting.

You think so? IMO the casting quality is very good, at least on the 308 GT4 I got. No bubbles or holes, sharp edges, almost no mold lines...
Concerning quality and details, I'd say the kit is on a Fujimi level (not Tamiya of course).

I can't really judge the general fitting yet, and of course it's resin, which makes it a lot harder to correct and assemble.
And I found it's impossible to use masking tape, despite thoroughly washing the parts and cleaning them with a sanding sponge, as even primer just won't stick well to the surface.

Seems like a nice little kit maker of the kind that really enriches the hobby, but as usually we have to be carefull as sometimes the quality is alwafull ( FPM for example). Thanks for the replys!

Yeah, I couldn't resist. Received it beginning of March.
Speciale Aperta and AAC815 have to wait.
It's so nice to have a stash again. :)

Good news that they improved the quality. My jarama was so bad. Some details are almost melted. Here some sample photos:

Airfix is making new great models for plane lovers as I am. This little cutie is a masterpiece.

I didn't know you build planes. Pretty cool.
