Re: Some of your rarest kits?

Interesting thread!

I have the following in 1/24:

Tamiya BMW 850i
Hasegawa Nissan R89C (all white metal version)
Hasegawa Williams FW13 (all white metal version)
Fujimi Koenig TR
Tamiya Hi-Ace Delivery Van (don't know if that is rare or not, but never seen it before)
Heller Jaguar E Type
ARII Mercedes 450 SL
Tamiya Opel Calibra DTM Cliff
Tamiya Mercedes C-Class DTM D2

I'm pretty sure people on this forum have more rare ones.

Re: Some of your rarest kits?

Wow, you guys got some pretty rare kits. I guess if "I" never seen them in person then they're rare.@Oter, I really like those Corrado's I havent been able to come across not one of those anymore! Very nice collection!@Evil_Hanzel, I love 345 Tuning kits, anything widebodied I seem to collect. I almost had a 345 Tuning 300ZX but lost it on ebay, it was going for nearly $100USD!

over here there is still a lot of 345 kits, but mostly the big sedans(chaser, gloris, cedris crowns) going for around 6-10 USD a kit(these are new old stock)

Re: Some of your rarest kits?

Since I just restarted in box-collecting...er...I mean modelling, probably the rarest kit I have is this one:

- Hasegawa Jaguar XJ-S H.E. TWR

* if anyone has one lying around I really want! Check the classified thread!
