Gunze Sangyo Hi-Tech website

I little while ago I am sure there was a thread on here with a link to a site that listed all the Gunze Sangyo hi-tech models, I can't for the like of me find it.

Anyone have that link?.

Man I didn't even know some of those kits existed. Guess they may as well not since most are so rare these days. Is there any point hoping for a re-release programme?

Man. . To have some of those kits again!

I hit the JACKPOT back in the late 80's and found a hobby shop that was sellin' off almost all of the High-Tech kits for around 30 bucks a pop. . . I loaded up with about 6 GTO's, a couple Messerschmitt's, Fait's and Triumph's . . .

Have ya seen the prices these kits are haulin' in?. . . Unbelievable and Astronomical. . .

Sold off my last partially built GTO for over 100 bucks just a few month ago. . .

Chuck, what's with the bold font all the time?

No, seriously, bold is just easier for me to see even with my 19" LCD and I figure there's gotta be others that have a hard time reading small text too. So it's more of a courtesy thing I suppose . . . :dunno: It's there so I use it . . .

Well, to me its annoying and just like typing with all CAPS which is considered shouting on a message board, typing bold all the time screams "notice me!"

Double posting is kind of annoying as well....

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

OMG all the Gunze high-tech kits have metal chassis! I can't stand it! They are the worst models ever! Rabble rabble rabble rabble!!!

Honestly Alex, if you're really annoyed by a little bold text or ALL CAPS for that matter, perhaps you need to reevaluate the impact message board etiquette has on you. . .

Sorry if it annoys you though. Bad habits are hard to break. . .

Hmm... OK that was pretty funny, considering it was me that certainly let it be known I wasn't overly happy with the new line of Tamiya metal chassis kits..

Oh to be so naïve…..

That kit really sucks though, it has a metal chassis.

What were Gunze thinking when they made it with a metal chassis? :disappoin

Yeah very funny..!! But it has an engine..!! And, shock a full engine..!! Tamiya can't give that nowadays..!!

:lol2: :lol2:

All joking, does look like a nice kit, I'd never get one, bet it costs the earth by now.. Ebay or something??

That is a releif, since they're so hard to find it will make us all sleep better knowing they're no good. :) (Who's convinced?)

ALthough I do have the E-type. Appears to be a fantastic, but difficult kit.

Actually the E-Type doesn't have a metal chassis. But since when did the truth have any bearing on the internet? :)

I know from building the GTO's that not only were the metal chassis horrible, ALL of the cast metal parts were archaic.

Castings were so bad I had to scratchbuild nearly the entire rear end, replacing parts with tubing, sheet metal and the like. . .

While the engines weren't quite as bad, the castings still left a lot to be desired. I swear I must have gone through mini files like they were toothpicks. . .

on a semi related note, does anyone know or have a listing or which kits airfix re-issued?
incidentally, i also know a place with a triump tr2 hi-tec kit for sale if anyone's interested.

:iagree:

:attention

lol eeeeer I mean LOL

No, but perhaps I should just leave the board where posts of other members annoy me. There is too much crap on AF lately, and the sad thing is - nobody really cares. Bye!

Sorry you feel that way Alex. Unfortunately AF (and almost every other Internet forum) has long been a case of sorting through the crap. We've tried to improve things on occasion but found it easier to just roll with it, rather than impose draconian measures.

Hmmmm I've been on AF for a couple of years now and this has to be one of the better forums around . . . The "crap" as you will have it, is pretty nonexistent here. Not sure what your definition of "crap" is though.

As with so many other boards, my definition of "crap" is constant bickering, pissy attitudes, trouble making threads and so on. . .

Sorry, but I just don't see that around here. . .

Ya know Alex, I meant no offense with my previous post and it was put forth with no ill will. I just thought your critique of bold text and ALL CAPS was a bit much. That's across the board though, not just with you.

Anyone that is truly annoyed by bold text or "all caps" needs to adjust their level of annoyances as it's just such an easy thing to ignore or look past . . . In other words, they need to lighten up. There are so many other things to be annoyed with rather than a few lines of text. . .

I too am sorry you feel the way you do. Ya seem like a pretty levelheaded and talented guy. So why the obvious overreaction?

It wasn't just you. That whole debate came and went one time before you were even at AF, or at least before you participated a lot. It's not just you.
