My local Value Village has a supply of kits. Most are 1/25 for less than $10 – Revell, AMT, Linburgh. If I was into that scale I would have bought them.
What I did pick up were 3 1/32 scale Testors “Turn of the Century Automobiles”, A 1930 Packard, 1934 Duesenburg and a 1935 Duesenburg SSJ. $3.99 each. The bodies are die cast metal. I had thoughts of converting to a slot car but they are heavy (close to 150 grams) so I am not sure how practical that is. Anybody have any experience in doing that sort of conversion. But the parts are worth the purchase – plastic wheels, bumpers, engines, mirrors etc. Probably build them as static model for the layout. Here are a few pics of the 1930 and 1935 models.
Folks might want to swing by their local VV to see what they have as the part might be useful for your pre war builds. :yes: ?
