These hobby shows are a lot of fun. My first experience with a model was a Stealth Bomber, I built a blue 32 High Boy when i was in my early 20s all killer. I enjoyed that car much more than my first marriage at the time lol

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Did the bomber get hung from the ceiling? All planes look cool when they do. But hey, like they always say...... Can't go wrong with a '32 !!!!!!!!!! 😉👍

Maybe it's just me, but DAMN!!!!! these prices on these are ridiculous. I thought $20 was high for a '67' Chevelle. Compared to some of these, i practically stole mine. I couldn't afford to go to one of these even if i wanted to. Nice to look at i guess. Don't see many Nascar cars. Those are my favorites. I have some. A #8 Dale Jr. & a #28 Davy Allison .

[@thomasanders5823]

Just wanna say that I am a new subscriber to your channel I have been watching your videos for about 6 months or so.I like them but would like to ask a favor.when you show the model kits could you also show the prices.I see some of them butsometimes you zoom past them and the prices are blurry.I ask this because I go to different sources for model kits but I am seeing some of the kits that I purchased cheaper at the swap meets .

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Thanks for subbing Thomas! You and many have asked that same question and I have realized you guys are right! 🙂 I think it was this vid or just after I started doing that. But what's funny is now I get some complaints that I'm going to slow...... Oh well, I'd rather go slow and try to show more of what is there along with some prices then speed it up now. So yes, I can do that...... 🙂👍😉😊 Glad you enjoy the vids and there is plenty more shows coming!

@@NitroModelsAndComics Good question Robert. Not that I recall... I've filmed several swap meets this year and I usually get 90% of everything there. Feel free to go thru my swap meet coverage vids, (real cars and model cars) as I might have showed something like that.

[@NitroModelsAndComics]

@@THROTTLEPOWER I have gone through and have not seen them. I saw the drivers and one engine kit but no complete funny cars. They are decidedly rare these days. Good thing I have the Vega already, but I'm always on the lookout for another.
