WELCOME TO AF DarkZero

About our conversation (Revell Models)..... you have news........

:sun:

Yesterday i talked with the shop owner and he said that those models are difficult to find in europe... but not impossible. The problem is that he might take some time to get them. He is going to try an english supplier that imports kits from america. Since he said that it was going to be difficult, what did i do?? I ordered the tamiya Supra :D .

I've the same problem.

It's almost impossible to find Revell Kits (US) here in Portugal, so the solution is to order them by the net.

A just reveived two from the "Great Models Webstore", a 32 Ford and a 69 GTO, and a friend go to the States and bought me two Corvetts.

So i think i'll be busy for a while.

By the way: Welcome DARKZERO.
:flash:

after 4 long moths you've decided to register.......WELCOME


I've been trying to get the revell kits here in lisbon but i still don't have feedback from the shop owner.


by the way, obarbosa where do you buy your models???

Cheers

Do you speak any portuguese????

Looks like we have a small portuguese community in this forum :D .

I bought my first model in a hobby store in CC Amoreiras, it’s a old kit by Monogram that was at sale price, about €10.

Since then I looked at some hobby shops and nothing on US Kits, so I decide to bought on line from US.

The online store is at: www.greatmodels.com

By the way, yesterday night I went to CC Amoreiras and guess what .............. I bought a new kit. It's a Prelude by Revell Germany.

I think I'm addicted.

Did you had any problems with the entire process????
how long it took to the models arrive???

cause me and a bunch of other guys are looking for the revell integra type-r and probably we gonna order from an online store.


Cheers

Sory BBCivic, can do that for now.

I don't have internet at home, only at work, and I'll go to summer holidays for the next two and half weeks.


So when i came to work again i'll post the reference and pics from my first model.


:sun:

I don't have any major problems with the process until they arrived to the custom’s.

The custom’s have so many work that may best chance of getting the kits are Xmas, but since my wife work at the Post Office’s (Av. Marechal Gomes da Costa), she managed to get me the kits fast.

The entire process took about a month. I think I can help you guys with the custom’s.



:flash:

OK,

Thanks:flash:

Tell one think, this model are the 5th generation (the last one)???


PS: GOOD HOLIDAYS :sun:

:wave:

The model is the 4th generation (like the one that NoBrakes have in is current projects).

Thanks and I hope to do a lot of modeling in the holidays.

Well Nobrakes, as I said my digital camera it's a really old one, it's a epson 500, and with that camera I can't take pictures at smaller distances (less than 40 cm the pictures are very blur), so until I get a new one I only can take long distance shots.
But no problem I will make it, and I will post here.
