Thanks for looking in. Rick H.

Love it Rick!!! Where did you get so many Ford 917's??? The whole lot is fantastic and probably wasn't cheap either. I'm up for more pics if you want to post them...………...

Allen I'm just scratching the surface here. I probably have another 10 to15 in the stash. But, to answer your question, some came from Germany, a company with what Mr. T says has a "Dodgy" name, PanzerFux.de and some came from Canada at Promotex.ca and some came from an associate in L.A. and they were all $15 to $40 U.S. depending. A lot of the vehicles in this posting have been built by using more than one kit to produce a finished model. In rare instances three kits were used for their various components. Isn't modeling FUN!!! I'll post some more pics. on this thread tomorrow. Rick H.

Cool beans Rick,

I know the handler panzerfux here. Sometimes he has some good prices on 1/35 scale stuff. I can't believe that some of them are so expensive though, but that is probably including postage too....I hope….Thanks for posting these Buddy and will look forward to your next batch of pics…..

 

[Mini Me]

Nope, that was retail less shipping and handeling.

Hi Paul, yes, I don't know what happend. In the '70s and '80s I didn't mind paying a couple bucks each for this stuff, now they want your wallet! Thanks for the compliment. More on the way soon
