New stuff...I'm broke!
I had some spare money and I went to pick up model or two...
Well I had only one thing to say I hate AF! I picked up 4 kits!and I'm broke!!!! I'll let the pics talk for themselves... Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA:   Great kit with angine detail...I love the classic Alfa's Mazda RX7 R1:   Another great kit...It also has an engine and after seeing so many killer looking RX-7 in AF I wanted to built one... Toyota Celica GTFour:   I picked up the road version which is one of my favourite regular road cars...The wheels suck big time!Dunno where to find after market ones...(ordering online is not that easy without a credit card..) Porsche RSR turbo:   When I saw this kit I said: WOwwwwwwwwwwww! I knew that quality wasn't going to be that good but you know...I LOVE PORSCHE!!!!!!!!!!And in every purchase there is one so I thought I should buy this one... Anyone else has it? THe only one I can think is Laurent...If you have any pics I'd be gratefull if you could post them! P.S:The kit was in perfect condition and the quality isn't that bad...(Worst than Fujimi though...) Last but not list TS-8 Italian Red...I had to try a Tamyia paint once...  And the last pics means most than all the above...This are all the money left after this 'small' purchase...Less than a dollar to get me going for 10 days...Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm  Now you know why I hate this forum!  P.S:Someone should put in the FAQ a danger sign..."Modelling is addicrtive-Don't get involved if you are not ready to spent a big amount of money!" Last edited by MythosGR; 05-21-2003 at 08:51 AM.

yes....
Lots of work! All 3 Tamyia has engines which menas many time spent for detailing them and the RSR needs a lots of cleaning sanding(and something inside me tells me that I should get that putty out of the cabinet...) Which means hell lot of time! LoL P.S:Veyron could you post some pics of your RSR?THe martini paintjob is awesome...How much it costed to you?

It happens to all of us my friend!
 I had never seen the Alfa Romeo kit, man that is sharp! I can see it with a set of aftermarket wheels and a slight lowering job. EBAY here I come! -Rick

The ALfa isn't an old kit...They had about 10-15 in the shop I went!
But It was a bit expensive...around 30 US while the other Tamyia kits go at 22-25! On the other hand the detail is great and from what I saw(just a quick look) looks very sharp!A great model I think!I'm gonna built her box stock(maybe some wiring in the awesome engine) but I'm considering building a second in the future with the bumbers removed,wide wheels(alpina style) witha little camber and a small lowering job!!! Cychalen yap I know you have the RX-7 in your to do list...but I'd say let's build first the Koenig Porsche!(my GT 2 is getting close...) Veyron if you could post some pics of the ones you've seen build I'd be gratefulll...I picked up mine at about the same price...so I think that it's a good one... Thanks for the replys...I'm off to build sme models! Lot's of work to do! P.S: chrismgee you beat lot's of good stuff in your list...But I still have no colors(and no money)so I might beat you in my next visit to a hobby stor for paints....
