$35 isn't much. over here almost every Tamiya kit costs at least $35.

you think that's a lot for a rare kit? i paid over $100 dollars for each of my 850i kits, i have two of them. i have a whole bunch of rare BMWs and have spend at least $600 on rare tamiya kits.

sometimes i wish i'd kept the money...

The kit is still in production. Hobby World has it in Owner's Club and American Mobors boxes, each pirced at approx. $13.

Oh. Thanks Ray. I thought I had overlooked something in the thrad somewhere. I had assumed the Charger was a US manufactured kit.
Yea... HLJ has them too. Not in stock, but it doesn't have the skull and crossbones, so you have a slight chance of getting it still

I would do the whole reinforced with platic thing, but with plastic cement, not superglue. I've had bad experiences with superglue not sticking in thin situations like that, and it would be horrible to see the A-pillar break again. If you use something like Ambroid or Ten-Ax, you'll be golden. They bond completely in 10-15 seconds. Also, you can use a binder clip or other sort of clip to hold it in place, it will work better than tape. I have these awesome "Helping Hand" clips that I got at a drug store for a couple dollors, and they are perfect, their clipping force is less than would be a binder clip, and the way the jaws are they won't smoosh plastic as you glue it. If you could find something like that, you'd be extra golden.

Fubaz has, like the rest of us, broken many an A-pillar, mostly on kits like NSXs or EG Civics, where the A-pillars come broken in the box or break when you look at them funny. There have been many threads where people have asked about fixing them, and many progress threads where they've been fixed.

Oh wait, I didn't realize you were new.

Ha Ha.

I got in trouble for that, fubaz
yelled at me for post whoring.

Definately not, I picked it up and noticed the
wobbly feeling, I picked it up carefully. Could
have been because I left it to dry on the
porch.

[blubaja]

Yes. The porch did it.

Was that sarcastic? It's hard to tell on the internet.
