The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

[Percymon]

I wonder where you keep finding this stuff. I have been scanning allover the place to find a good restoration project and can't seem to find anything worth looking at for a reasonable price!

Better not tell you i paid the equivalent of 60 euros delivered for all of it then

I'm feeling pleased with my Stadium Thunder I think it has come up really well.

Not a car boot bargain, but it stands me in just under £70 all in and RTR.

That includes a Tamiya Sport Tuned and brand new back tyres.

Apologies..in my excitement I posted this in the wrong section!

Today's arrivals

A box full of general spares , sent on by hotshot2 seller for free (awesome)

A set of blazing star decals which should come in hand for the other delivery today..

[Fruitfly01]

PLATES! 8" (20cm) enameled tin plates. 10 of them. These are to use as track markers. Not tall, heavy or immovable like a cone, brick or a stick in the ground, and flat enough that a (vintage) car can ride over them without coming to any harm. Should make outings with my mate a bit more interesting.

The body kit and the model kit together

HI!... Nice! I have one as well.

That looks to be in great condition, not much missing there bar the obvious bodyshell.

I prefer the terra conqueror / blazing star shell over the Manta Ray, but you can get the latter very cheap in the uk

For me, the Dirt Thrasher shell is the most desirable DF01 shell, but new ones seem very rare and expensive, and I don't know of anyone who does repros of it.

I will probably end up getting it a repro Manta Ray shell because, as you say, they are affordable and easily available over here.

M-01 chassis for £20.

Time to get the hacksaw out and and do a little chassis shortening!
