steve, this the first time i have seen that kit. are you interested in selling it or even a trade?


The Mercedes wagon kits are pretty crappy, don't look very much like the real cars, and are kind of crude as well. Rare doesn't mean quality!

It's one of the legendary Enthusiast Model series, and all Fujimi Ferraris are discontinued. I recently sold 288GTO Yellow version for about $70.

This is how the Dino kit is like.

I don't know the difference between standard and sport, but 1/16 959 is in production, and it's listed on Fujimi 2003 catalogue.

from what i read the sport doesn't have a passenger side mirror and it has a rollcage. don't know the others though.

Nice kit, I have been looking on eBay for a while now for this kit.
BTW I need a new REAL car and last weekend I was test driving a Porsche, the shop that had it also had a Ferrari Dino (along with about 10 other cars that I would kill to own), I got to drool all over it, it looks very sexy in silver!

Just remembered! I have a Hasegawa TWR XJ-s Jaguar! :p

is the jag rare? never seen it before?

Which of the Hasegawa XJ-S's would be considered rare? I've found a few of them in a local shop and would like to pick just one up.

The racing one

i have a hasegawa 968, but don't know how rare that is.

bigfrit, that's a rare one too, but the racing version is the hardest one to find.

Well, I didn't buy it for its rarity, just bought it because I like the model a lot, it's not your everyday convertible :)

i was just thinking about something; do you guys think that there is money to be made of "rare" kits?
I really don't know?
What is actually the highest price for a plastic (not resin) model kit ???

of course, cuz there are some pipz who collect rare kits and for some money is not an issue. the only kit that i saw the highest bid was a Ferrari 312T3 it was sold for $500US. oh and almost forgot a tamiya 928S 1/20 scale was sold for $300++US.

btb thats a great kit and somewhat rare. i always wanted one but never had the chance to get it and now think it's discontinued. :( nwayz how much did you get it for?

acunda, that 968 kit is rare!!!

hirofkd, you should really finish it!!!

can you get a complete list of all the EM Ferraris??? i would like to see it

You've got most of them, there were only a few Ferrari EM kits:
Daytona
Daytona Spyder
Daytona Speciale
Dino 246
Dino 246 GTS
288 GTO
288 GTO Yellow Version
1/16 512BB

Fujimi did several EM Porsche's, a couple BMW's, a couple Lambo's and a Lancia Stratos using the engine part tree from the Dino.:)

Here are my "SUPER-RARE" kits ;)

Since upload still does not function from home :( I'm temporarely linking to my site. So after a while the images might be missing. If you're still interested then, let me know and I'll load them up again.

Monogram FORD CAPRI

Heller TALBOT 4L5 Grand-Prix

Heller Mercedes 300SL Gullwing

huudo,

that's "super rare" this is the first time i've seen it. can i see more pics please?

Thanks Vyron for the list, it seems that i'm only missing 3 1/24 Ferraris.

There was a 288 GTO yellow version (some kind of racing version right??) in one of the local hobby shops and i didn't get it, and now i'm torturing myself for that.... oh well, maybe i can find that and the other two in some other place.

Edit:
Can anyone post the box art for the:
- Ferrari Daytona
- Ferrari 288 GTO yellow version
- Ferrari Dino

Thanks


Cheers

As far as I know, it is a stock version kit inside, it may have some decals or something. The EM kit boxes were already so stuffed with parts I doubt there was room to add any race parts.:)

got the upload working again, so here are the pics of my rare kits

:D

Those Daytonas are awsome! Is EM a manufacturer?

EM stands for Enthusiast Model, a series of highly detailed kits that Fujimi did in the 1980's. Parts count often exceeds 200 in these kits. From what I understand, these were the most talented employee's that Fujimi ever had, for some reason they left and formed the now defunct Rosso model comany.:)
