We all know that Aardvark offered a Birdcage Maserati many years ago. I am looking for one. Was this kit ever repopped? Is the Birdcage still available? How rare are these kits?

Thanks.

I've seen them only a very few times and they go for very high prices,usually beyond what I want to pay. I did latch onto a built -up(very well done BTW) maybe a year ago and paid only 125.00. I felt that was a good deal. I don't know if Andy built this or someone assembled the kit themselves. You could look at Island Collectibles site as they have a few resin birdcage model kits listed by other makers.

I know ABC Brianza did one. I don't know if it's still in production.

I produced a total of nearly 800 Birdcages over the years and about 450+ were kits. They are out there. Most resin kits don't get built (I am as bad as anyone). The masters were sold to Mini-Exotics a number of years ago and he has folded up. I have no plans to do any more. ABC (Carlo Brianza) also produced a 1/24. I never was able to look at one up close. I have heard of some of the variants of it being produced like the Tipo 63? which was the mid-engine version. Ed at Island is a good source for all kinds of cool kits but I can almost guaranty he doesn't have any Aardvark Bircages!!

Is the ABC kit still in production? I am looking for a Birdcage that I can build into Bill Krause's car. Nobody has ever built one in 1/24th scale before.

I just lost an Aardvark Birdcage on eBay this morning...

If any of you have seen one, let me know.
