$100 to spend.

I've Got $100 to spend for passing my PRT with a time of less than 12 minutes. So i want asking what you think i should spend it on.

I am currently finishing a AMT 58 Plymouth Belvedere and a AMT A TEAM Van. The Plymouth blue and stock, while the Van has a Wild splater custom paint job and sweet interior

Towards a digital camera if you don't already have one? An airbrush, if yopu don't have one.

What do I think you should spend your money on?
Easy - you should shout us all a beer or three!

Re: $100 to spend.

100$ is too less for a digicam.

I would say go for a nice 1/12 kit like Tamiya Porsche 935 (89$) It's very imptresive kit

" Good tools can turn a average kit into a contestwinner. Bad tools can turn a great kit into scrap." someone said.

Hm, buy good tools. No more kits. Yet..

Re: $100 to spend.

One more vote for tools. I spend as much on tools as I do kits and junk. But, I love tools. Because I hate money.

"Money, is that you?"
"Yes..."
"Get out of my sight! Go to the store and send tools back, damnit! Damn good-for-nothing money."
