That's OK Ken, we're allowed to see them more than once

I bought a bunch of kits from a friend that could not longer build due to health issues. It was all or nothing. So I took the lot. This one kit that's meant for left hand turns only, was totally unexpected. What do I do with it? No one wants to buy it at the flea markets. I don't need it for myself. It sure is an odd duck.

Okay, so it's settled then. I'm the only person here collecting static kits.
I just sold three muscle car kits. But, also found a new kit. Oops. At least it's progress.
I really like the James Bond car. 1992 manufacturing date on the box. Airfix 1/24 = I would describe it as a thick and clunky kit. This little tank would likely sink in water. But, it would make a very tough slot car. There's very little to assemble. Very little to break off.

I don't purposely 'collect' static kits but have one or two, Matchbox Auto Union D-type, Triumph TR4A, Arii Honda S600

I was innocently on my way to the store to get milk. This guy says "Pssst. Wanna buy a model car kit?" That's what I told my wife. I'm sticking with that story.
The Pantera is what it is. Who doesn't like Pantera's? It's a weakness of mine.
I don't know much about this Dom guy. I also prefer a regular Satellite Sebring over a GTX. Maybe it's because I remember passing one walking to my bus stop as a 10-year old kid. It was bright red with a white vinyl roof. I used to drool over that car twice a day.

I've only ever seen one Pantera...twice...in different years...in the 70's as a competitor entered one in the Manx Rally, it was black and a really nice car...yes I'm a fan also and have a MSC Home Series Rally variety which is a firm favourite of mine
