Im having great difficulty tracking down these models. I dont own a credit card, so buying overseas is pretty difficult. If anyone knows where i can find thes models in australia it would be greatly appreciated.

Hasegawa- ferrari 328gts
Tamiya - mazda 787b
Tamiya- Mazda savanna rx7, series 2 (1982) model.

Thanks in advance

Good luck on the 787B, it's been out of production for years, Tamiya should re-release it soon though.

The 787B has been reissued (with cartograf decals) and is available at the usual online shops.

Didn't realise it was already available, that's good news

Re: Need help finding these models (AUSTRALIA)

Which city you in? Not having a credit card makes it difficult to order interstate as well. Check the Yellow Pages for model shops in your area, ring them up and ask what they've got or know.
Best bet would be to get a credit card/PayPal account and order from a Japanese online store or look for the rare stuff on eBay.

I got the RX-7 at a swap meet for $5. Never seen it anywhere else, except maybe ebay.

Talking

ok i have now found the ferrari model!!.....last one to get is Tamiya Rx7 24016.

Ive been going nuts, ringing everywhere for all the models, i really thought the ferrari one would be inmpossible to get from what everyoine was saying....im stoked that i found it...got about 10 models now i plan to make this yr, well start them anyway...I dont want to start until i can find a decent cabinet to put them in.

Looks like ebay will be a bit of a slut for me till i find the rx7 model

Re: Need help finding these models (AUSTRALIA)

You can save a search in your favorites on ebay and set it to email you when new matches are listed. if you do this remember to search for Tamiya kit numbers 24016 AND 2416 . Old kits used 4-digits until tamiya ralized they'd be making more than a hundred, so they added the zero on any re-releases.

The Tamiya kit is the only one of the FB version of that generation. All the rest are of the SA early type.
