Re: Question

I don't know of any plastic model kits in 1:18 so I think you're out of luck there.

As for the price of a 1/24 or 1/25 scale kit, it really depends on the subject, level of detail and manufacturer.

As for how hard they are to build, that is an individual thing, I don't think they're hard to build at all.

For cars scales are:
1:24 1:25 (normally 1:24, revell make 1:25 just to piss us off )
1:16 (Nice project to do, cost 2 to 3 time the price of a normal 1:24)
1:12 (Expensive Car,be ready to pay 100$ and more)
1:8 (very expensive car. Humm Feffari F40 at 3000$...... )

For 1:24 1:25 car (what you mainly see here) it's about 10$ to 40$ for normal kit (no resin, no paint, just a plastic car)

Be ready to pay an average of about 35$-40$ / models if you count the paint
