Whats the cheapest kit you have done
Got to thinking yesturday about what was the cheapest kit I had kicking about, found a Heller 1:43 Formula 1 Mclaren that I paid the sum of 99 pence and so I have built it today and I am quite happy with it considering the quality of the kit.

Re: Whats the cheapest kit you have done
Tamiya Supra was a gift from the Hobbyshop (good client)
Tamiya Mini Cooper Rally was also a gift, and I won the BMOM Rally contest with it  Would be interesting to know the most expensive kit also. Mine is currently a Fujimi F40 1/16 at 60$Cnd But a Ferrari 360 GT is on the way (70$ transkit + 45$ kit total 115$Cnd)

Re: Whats the cheapest kit you have done
Cheapest kit:
$16 USD celica i am waiting for it patiently Most expensive kit: $50 semi kit + $25 additional parts (excluding paint etc) which was converted into a dakar truck, but it still isn't completely done The rest of mine have all been $25-42. I personally feel as though paint is the wallet killer.

My Bro-in-law gave me a half dozen or so.
A local hobby shop used to have wild sales and also sold "defective" kits for pennys on the dollar. The most... A Tamiya Ferrari F50 "clear-view" was almost $50 with tax at my LHS.

Re: Whats the cheapest kit you have done
The cheapest was a 6X' Dodge 330 drag car with a 426 max wedge $4.25 @LHS.
R31 GT-S 4dr free with NISMO wheels, built a while back. I got a NASCAR for free, but I'm using it for parts. Most expensive: I'd probably say the 454SS. 20bux on the kit, plus ass load of parts including wheels, tires, brakes, motor, EFI, 4link, new rear end, endless paintjobs that were stripped and re-started. Plus superglue. But it was all worth it!

can't remember the cheapest, I've gotten a ton for free, and for gifts, I can remember buying Revell snap kits for 4.95 like the snap 93 Camaro and Firebrid back in the day. I got some great buys tho, AMT 89 Firebird GTA MIB for 5 bucks, Johan 73 AMC AMX for $10, AMT 72 Chevy Pickup for $6, MPC 76 Chevy Mona MIB for $17, MPC 87 Dodge Daytona for 12 bucks, Tamiya 1989-1993 Toyota Celica for $10
most expensive..... 45 bucks for the Fujimi WRX, $36 for a AMT Olds Intrigue promo, $40 for an R&R Resin 1963 Dodge 330 Wagon.

Can't remember my cheapest, but I can remember my most expensive. 92-95 Honda Civic Sedan which I really don't want to post how much I paid for it....and the best part is.... I get to cut it in half to create a coupe...so if I Mess up.. it will be a very expensive mistake
