You can always try EBAY they sometimes post models that are no loger in production

You could try a specialist second hand kit dealer. Here in GB we have several, Modelsforsale and Kingkit being two that come to mind. They are both mail order and I would imagine that they export world wide

ebay is the easiest way to go IMO. Keep searching until you find it

try posting in the classified thread, theres a lot of old kits floating around there

there's two of them on ebay right now.

Yeah i've posted in the classified section, but was just wondering if anyone knew of other places or people that could get them. Ive tried ebay and everytime I always get outbid at the last second no matter what my bid is. I actually bid $100 once for one there were only 3 bids in the final minute the bid was only up to 60 bucks and with 13 seconds left i was outbid so ebay is not my favorite place...lol Also would you happen to have any contact info on Modelsforsale and Kingkit ?

I have bought several oop kits on E-Bay. If you want to get the kit you have to be willing to bid high. If you don't want to be "sniped" ( what its called when you get out bid in the final seconds) try BidNip.com. Then it will be you outbidding the other's in the last few seconds.

I believe $100 for that model was quite enuff considering they normally go around $70-$80 and Im not the type that is going to be like the rest of those jerks on ebay by sniping people at the last second. Hopefully Dadio406 can get me that contact info.

Try www.modelsforsale.com and www.kingkit.co.uk, you could also try kitkrazy at www.kitkrazy.com. i have dealt with all of these companies in the past though mostly for aircraft models (aircraft are still the most popular subject here in GB) but they deal in all subjects. I would have thought that there would be a good number of second hand dealers in the US. One final thing, Revells recent release of the (Esci) Ford Escort RS1800 rally car proves that if you wait long enough it will be re-released. Good luck in your hunt

PS Im not a big Ebay fan either
