I got a promo from Model Expo with some interesting deals. Right now they're clearing out all of their Airfix, Revell, Heller, and Lindbergh kits and are offering some excellent prices on some cool kits. Here are a few that caught my eye.
AX1741 - Astronauts, 1:72 - Was $1.69 - Now $0.84
AX3013 - Apollo Lunar Module 1:72 - Was $2.99 - Now $1.49
AX6171 - Orion 2001 Spacecraft 1:144 - Was $6.99 - Now $3.49
RG7354 Corvette C5-R Le Mans 1:25 - Was $15.99 - Now $7.99
The Corvette kit normally runs about $30, but they had discounted it to move it out, and have now discounted it again. Its the one that ran in the ALMS series in 2001 and won at Sebring, so I'm looking forward to working on it.
But what I'm really looking forward to building is the astronaut and Lunar Module. The LM kit already comes with a pair of astronauts, but I'm going to combine them into a diorama. I figure at 1/72 scale, I should be able to get them into a AMT/Ertl 1:18 scale model car display case so they won't get dusty or damaged.
Anyway, if you've got modelers at home or are into the hobby yourself, its worth checking out.
