Hey all! I am always on the hunt for good car and fighter jet model kits, so if you have any to sell, let me know! (please no started kits!) I also have a few brand new kits I might trade.
OMGBALLOON! ~chases it~

Mrf? Oh, yay! Another modeling type person. Though I've kind have been putting off working on my stuff for a while. I'm sticking with 1/72 scale myself. Just general aviation mostly for me, as well as some related vehicles. Are you looking for anything specific? (scale, era, military only?)

Yeah, I like to build military jet fighters such as F-14, F-16, Rafale, Eurofighter Typhoon, etc. I also prefer 1/48 scale (just got a 1/48 scale F-22 released by Hasegawa). As for car models I do 1/24 and 1/12.

I've managed to find a few 1/72 truck and non plane model sets. Even a couple of mech kits from a long defunct Japanese TV series. As much as 1/48 scale is nice looking, unfortunately I have neither the room or budge for such. I do know the airport I volunteer at does get the occasional 1/48 jet kits in. Maybe I can keep an eye out for you next time I'm out there.

OOH, i have a few totally unstarted kits laying around. Ive opened them and decided to work on something else instead. And all of the parts are there. I just need to find them.. considering i just moved and they couldbe ANYWHERE ._. if i find em, ill let ya know. I believe most of them are oldies though.. like.. older muscle cars and such.

depends on price

Well I know rollers (car with out the electronics which is how i first bought it as) go for about 100 used (thats what i paid) but i have every thing, 19 turn electric motor (could use replacing, $20 to get a good used one at a hobby shop), speed controller that can be used with a 12-25 turn motor (paid $50 for myself), 2.4hz radio/receiver that doesn't need crystals and u'll never have to worry about interference cus it changes frequency itself (paid $120), have one battery but im unsure wether i want to sell it or not as i paid $100 for it about 3-4 years ago, oh and the car is a truck, a traxxas stampede old style, oh and the lexan body could use replacing but isnt needed, this truck is nearly indestructible, a friend have the same kind and a car ran it over and nothing broke plus all traxxas parts are cheap and easy to get (the parts may be cheap price wise but they r good quality) so as for price make me a reasonable offer, and the electronics are about 2 years old but have less then 20 hours of use on them so they r nearly new (not including motor, i got that about 5 years ago and have over 200 hours on it) with the right motor tho the truck can easily make it to 30kmh and do back flips off 1 1/2 foot jumps :P
