I Got IT, I Got It

I'm the new happy proud owner of a revell corrado. Got it on ebay for a reasonable price, usually they sell for about $100-160. Best buy i could get for a car i really admire. Once i recieve it, i will start a progress thread, won't be stock. Plan on changing the grill, eyelids, bigger wheels, maybe some bbs wheels because they came stock on certain models. Does anyone make metal bbs wheels? I guess this is a useless thread, but i couldn't help it!!!!!

Blimey, $82 for a model, way to rich for me I am afraid, looks nice though.

Deem, man you are lucky, my dream is get Corrado model ( in 1/24 or 1/18 )

good find, i wanted to always get this model for my brother since he owns two corrado.

Wow, 82 dollars for a model! Nice find though...

I guess these (http://www.hlj.com/product/FUJ19245) would look quite good on the Corrado. They're not metal, though.

why are they worth so much?

they are out of production for a couple of years now - gooey

too much for my blood

Those worth that much ? Wow.. I remember seeing some at my LHS for about 20$... Will go back to see and will resell them :D

Likelihood of that getting re-released I would think is very high. Nice model though...

i see then... but still... $80 some. too much for me. most expensive model i have had was probably less then $30, don't remember how much my first kits costed. but nice grab then. have fun building this one.

Hehehe... I know exactly what you mean! I've often been so happy about getting a kit that I really really really really wanted, and posting a somewhat useless thread about it. LOL

Up at 3am... logging onto ebay... waiting until the last few seconds of the auction to place my maximum bid... and... YEEEEESSSSS, I WON!!!

I wouldn't worry too much about the price, as long as you're reasonably disciplined and don't let it get out of hand. The most I've spent on a kit is somewhere in the order of about AUS$225. I did however spend about 5 months saving up for it with minimal purchases during that time. I suppose this is the only plus side to building kits so slowly at times!

oh that makes me so sad!!! I had 2 of those in my collection, and I sold half of my collection to a friend for $300 (about 65 kits), and I didn't even realize those were in there. maybe he'll sell it back to me....here's hoping!!

Those BBS rims are damn nice. Don't know which kit to put them onto here. I'm using my old school BBS on the Trueno, I might put them on the 3kGT then. Anyways, nice kit. The most I've spent on one kit is 60-70 dollars. It was a 1/6th scale Hemi Motor. Infact I had a progress thread on it. I should fix the ac and alternator then get some belt that fit right and show it off again.
