just a few of what i have mine dont use radios to fly. I fly by wire the old fashioned way. the purple and white plane was a kit bash. It was a combat wing that i made a fuselage for. The me109 is no longer with me lost it to a brain fart and crashed it. The stuka is a kit that one of our club members makes and sells for $45. The yellow and black one is the first plane that was given to me she is my hanger queen. the red one in front of her is a smaller version of her. The volks plane was a $10 buy at a local colecto we put on once a year.

You got it. I wont even take it out the box.

Im digging that red 65 though. I would take that one out the box. This is a proven fact men dont grow up ahhahaha. Every time i go into the grocery store there is a bunch of matchbox cars at the check out line and Im going through them like a 7 year old trying to find a cool one before my groceries are all bagged. They are 58 cents and Im pscyched up when I find a cool one. ahhaha

I wish Sunstar would make one of those with a '66 grille.
The only halfway large '66 out there is that dumb Wix bank truck.

That was a smoking deal on the 65 Racing Champions 65, they only made 9999 in all the colors and the turq/white is the rarest, I paid $40 for mine - in 2005!
Jason, how old is that Ford kit? It may be worth a pretty good chunk of change, look for one on Ebay to check.

dammit the tire is missing. I just finally set up an ebay account last week to order stuff for my "Real" truck and now I can see how its addicting. Ive already ordered a couple of truck toys. Iam getting stuff for the truck as well though.

Yep, my experience has been similar...I've found a ton of things that 'I never knew I couldn't do without'.

Greg....
not only do you have Slickitis

you have ToySlickitis !

One of them may likely become the illusive Unipanel. In 1/25 scale of course, lol.

Post by **Greg D** » December 25, 2008, 4:31 pm

The green one arrived yesterday - very good condition. Has some very cool rare parts still on it, the chrome hood spears are there. Only 1 layer of paint to strip off of this one, appropriately thin too. Now if I had just won the blue one that had a 62 grill, that's OK though. Reasonably easy conversion from a 61 grill.
It's very realistic too, the hood doesn't close right.

That 4x4 looks pretty cool!

How about this?

Not super cheap, but you're paying for the guy's time to build. That's almost worth it, to me.

Well I haven't built a car or truck model in years but here's a couple I built about 15 years ago. Took about 3 or 4 months to build. Had to tie all the rigging and ratlines out of real string etc etc... Wouldn't want to do it again but I'm glad I did 3 or 4 of these ships.
