silvertriple 3557 Posted February 7, 2023 it took a whlile to arrive with some additional delays but it is finally here... I finally have a Marui CJ-7 Golden Eagle Super Wheelie... And in the box there is one car (black body) and 75% of the second one (white body, new) : missing a chassis, transmission, rear axles, and front springs. And that means I will have to possibility to precisely model the CJ-7 body shell like I did for the Land Cruiser. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Superluminal 3750 Posted February 7, 2023 While randomly searching for some TA02 parts on ebay I came accross a new release from the Chinese seller who has started doing the alloy chassis parts for certain kits. He's now doing alloy versions of the Porsche GT2 and 934 wide wheels in alloy. I only ordered them about four days ago and they turned up today! Big difference from the two months for my last order.

I've actually bought two ammo boxes. Will probably only have about 3 in a box. So ideally I'd have used smaller boxes but this is just the size they are. Nice one mate, what sort of cost are we looking at here for an ammo box? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On 2/6/2023 at 8:42 PM, svenb said: I'm not an expert on these I only collect! I'd suspect that given the age of these Nicad batteries and therefore the older technology, they'll be inferior to the more modern NiMH's 🔋🔋🔋 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They seal beautifully, which I have to remove 🙄! But the main thing is, get down the army surplus. You don't right now know that you need 3 trestle tables, a ration pack from 1987 and ghillie suits for the whole family but, trust me, you do. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
