Mint Tamiya 180sx

I got this off of ebay about 2 months ago. Cheap too ($3.84 USD) I must say, this is the oldest model in my collection. This one was made in 1989. Not to sure if I want to build this, or if I do build it Not sure if I wana go OBB or Custom.

nice cant wait to see the results

if its really rare, i should keep it boxed...but it depends though...to 'rare' kits go up in price really high...like $100+ or more like $40? if not, i should paint it candy apple red, with gold rims and a polished outter lip...

build it, I've got two and are in the process of building both.

What's the point of keeping it in the box? The price goes up and you sell it, and now you don't have that kit anymore. Just some money. Money is easy to find. Build it.

its not that rare of a kit... but i would do it custom... this was like the 1st kit that ive ever done as a custom.. and it was a good kit itself, but i probably should have waited to do custom on another kit, because now my skills are better and i realized that i should have waited... oh well... but go ahead and built it!

i too have this kit, i bought it from my local hobby shop for £3 a few years ago as a replacement for my earlier model which i did a crap job on it and gave the old one to my friend and hoping to start on the new one

i never got round to build it and has sat in my cupboard along with others got 30 in all to build and 170 in total

It's a kit; build it.

My local hobby store have 6 of them, exactly the same, so i dont tink they are too rare, and for the prices in my country, $30 for a cheap kit, they are very very cheap, like.. $15 or so

Build it dude! Thats why we are in the hobby, i see no point on staring at the box hoping that the price will appreciate in value. Tamiya is known to rerelease old kits both plastic and radio control models. Recently Tamiya has rereleased rare RC cars like the Frog,Hornet etc...

just build it...like willimo said, made me think i said it a bit wron g for the other reply lol

I say build it!...I've got one too and plan to build it into a replica of my car when it was stock, plus i can get them fairly easily from japan from time to time.

I don't know, it does sound pretty rare. Maybe you should send it to me and I'll hold onto it for ya! :biggrin:

Build it! That's what it was made for. You're not going to retire on selling it.

Build it! I bought this kit sometime ago from ebay for around $20. Quality is OK but not superb.
