Re: Some of your rarest kits?

I have a 1958 Edsel ( 1/25 scale ) , that was a promotional item given to potential customers when they visited the Ford showrooms. It's in excellent shape !

Re: Some of your rarest kits?

Oh my...big news I think, actually I have never seen one for sale anymore.

My mom just sent me a box wich she found in my old stuff that is stored in a room at her house...She said it was one of my "toys"...

And it is a Tamiya Mercedes CLK-GTR Team Sportswear (the nice naked lady decals ) with FULL-VIEW...all clear body...

It is started but looks like all pieces are there.

Is this actually a rare kit?

Re: Some of your rarest kits?

I think that...The Fujimi Mugen Integra would be one of them...Not quite rare,I think that people didn't buy them because...They look WEIRD o_O
My Castrol Civic from Hasegawa,Tamiya's Toyota Exiv Touring car,Fujimi Civic SiR,and a Ford GT40 from Fujimi too...I think it's the MK.II model!

I don't really have RARE stuff...Just some hard-to-find-gives-some-bad-headache-search-but-you-can-find-'em models... o_O

Re: Some of your rarest kits?

I guess mine would have to be:

Modelers Lancia LC2
Little Garage Mirage GR8
Perrys Ferrari 333SP

Most resin is somewhat rare by nature (and I have way more than I care to admit, at least to my wife!)

Re: Some of your rarest kits?

The original release Fujimi #40 MR-2 t-top sw20 that I am building. The box was in awful shape when I got it. Something that likes to eat paper had it's way with the instructions too.

Fujimi replaced this version with the hardtop version when the new sw20 with the round tail lights came out.
