ZTony8 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) I bought a Hasegawa 962C kit- the1991 LeMans Nisseki Trust version and some Mr. Color Madder red. Happy to see that Model Cave is now carrying that paint line. Thanks, John & Melissa (and Beni, too).

Dann Tier Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 12 hours ago, niteowl7710 said: No reason a 288GTO should be anyone's grail kit, Fujimi reissued it in 2015 and it's available all over the place in Japan for less than $20. Fujimi never made a curbside version of it like they did with some of the other the Enthusiast Series kits, so any 288 is the same as the original. Just because its not rare, or expensive, doesn't mean it cant be someone elses "Grail" kit.....technically, they are not all the same, there is a "Special one" that is extremely hard to find, that includes a huge PE set, but doesn't mention it, its kit No.9, I know because I have one, and a few of the other ones.

So true Dann buddy....I have some grail/bucket list ones that are not as rare as others...some even are current kits they reissued. Its all a matter of fact of what is important to another or means something to them. Years ago I sent a couple of parts I had laying around to the U.K. for someone that needed the roof lights from a Johan ambulance they needed for a resto...made them so happy it was well worth the shipping alone to send them to them for free.

Tommy124 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I got me some kits right from the "source" in Japan: Nice to see some formerly rare old Fujimi EM kits coming back at reasonable prices. The Fujimi LeMans RSR is a pretty new kit and the Aoshima/Beemax 935 K2 is a brand new one... And these I bought recently on Ebay, they are on their way...

I remember a good friend of mine having the 1973 Chevy version of this car in high school. It was the ugliest greenish brown color I have ever seen with an equally ugly tan interior. It was also the biggest dog I have ever encountered! We used to relish in letting it idle in drive at about 4 or 5 mph & running Chinese fire drills around it on main street! We called it "The Draggin' Wagon". Looked a little like this........minus the stylish wood grain! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
