My late cousin and I never could agree if our late Gramps Plymouth Fury was a 57’ or a 58’, but in any case we shared some great memories connected to that car. And IMO Brekina did a good job with their classic Fury.
I picked up that same red '48 Dodge pickup 3 weeks ago @ Stewart Hobbies. I have the Oxford '46 green DeSoto. That '42 Town & Country woody is a nice one, too.
For me, the Oxford cars are a real bargin for the detailing offered on them. [Y][8D]
A couple of vehicle shots of cars that were found recently.
Finally got the decals in the appropriate color and font to number my C&NW snowplow. With only 2 'X’s it going to be hard to letter the rest of my MOW train.
Last picture is the completion of a Soo Line F-7 in a very limited color scheme that was only applied to 3 Soo road diesels. TCP maroon with Floquil yellow for the hand rails. Microscale decals applied one letter at a time.
I agree — licence plates included! Finding drivers for them (or any vehicle) can be a pain, though. I found this Walthers Scenemaster set to be handy. Most of these figures (sans legs) seem to be slightly smaller than 1:87 and can fit into vehicles with little modification:
A few days ago I hadn’t anticipated that I’d be in the markert for a pair of the recent Rapido RS-11s but when I made my usual rounds of some online sellers I stumbled across some kind of ‘pre- black Friday’ sale at an outlet in Maryland.
I had to really be certain what I was seeing. These were priced at more than half-off the usual selling price! Couldn’t pass that deal up!
