^ Too late now, but I'm pretty sure that 58746 is clear, with the 47513 being pre-painted. However £89 is crazy cheap and you'll probably come out cheaper even after buying a body set and decals!

Cheers Todd, the only ones I’ve seen for sale had the pre-painted body. I got the body set for my birthday and I’ve got the wheels. So only the decals to buy. And if I sell the Supra body set, it actually works out financially, for once 😂😂😂
 

These came today. I have been collecting a few parts for the GT as I sometimes over rev the engine and break valve train parts so I am beefing up the fulcrum on the head.

Oh and also a King Cab pin set............WAIT!! when did I decide to build another King Cab????? 

 

A few deliveries rolled into a single photo.
Motors all used, 4 Johnson’s a Mabuchi 540 black end bell and a 380 with the black end bell ( great for vintage resto’s ).
A couple of early parts for the 1-16 Sherman tank, the micro switches and the part which I think allows you to switch power to the tracks ( clutch system ???? ).
A couple of re-re black SRB bumpers. I’ve already put one on my original Holiday Buggy to match the box art.
Another set of Celica / 306 Maxi wheels. My Celica resto gets an up grade as the originals weren’t in the best of condition.
Finally a bit of 3 mm steel rod for use with the HB and Sand Rover steering arms.
That lot should keep me going for a bit.

Got a couple boxes yesterday...... 

A great deal on a Horizon Hobby sale last week for the VW Golf II GTI 16V, and then my white whale arrived - The last vintage box that I needed for my 1986 collection of cars, manuals and boxes - and it even came with the inserts! The last pic shows it filling up the spot I had saved for it on my vintage box shelf.






 

I`m lovin`it!!!!!
Received it today. Was everything I expected.
Everything is 3d printed and very nice work at so.
Even comes with lights and on/off switch.
Paid a tad under 100 dollars.

I know I want a Kyosho one as well later on.

I love it. And a stupid idea for you bro, you should do the same smaller with lego parts and stickers and your micro led system. But it's just an idea. 
several legos were back some weeks ago but short in time to clean and rebuild them.  I just dismantled them and put all spares in boxes.

Second M1 to M8 (apparently ) tap holder ... I don't really need two, but they're small & cheap enough that I can put this one in with my thread inserts so I don't have to remember that the first one is in with the taps & dies rather than the small tools. Maybe I actually need a third

 

 

Original chassis for the 56001 first release of the 1-16 Sherman Tank.
In amazing condition so although this came out in 1974, I’d be amazed if this is from then. But still good to have got hold of especially as the one I got originally had been chopped up.
Fingers crossed with a bit of down time over Christmas I can start putting this together, although still missing some parts to make this thing go.

Showed the ad for this to my wife and then she said: Buy it, it'll be a birthday present for you.🤔 oh me who doesn't have a birthday until late March...So then that gift was in the house 🥰The best thing of all is that the box has never been opened.
