  1. Score! Lets see some pictures when you get them all!
  2. The Gunze kit comes with PE wheels. At least my 3 kits did.
  3. I still don't understand why Gunze decided to make anything other than the tires out of rubber. I need to find some resin parts to replace the rubber for my kit.
  4. I would say the success rate of finishing this kit is very low maybe 30%. It fits together....well.....it doesn't!!! lol I was looking to buy one and did some research before hand and was shocked by how poorly it was.
  5. So the plans with this is to create a master mold and resin cast these for sale? Any idea of the price point? Will it be a 100% complete kit or will parts of another kit be needed? Sorry to ask this if you have answered it already.
  6. That 1/12 scale Gullwing is an awful kit.........really really awful!
  7. If i had the extra cash i would build one. I love big scale stuff!
  8. Wow, nice work! Maybe this will motivate me to build my Gunze Cobra.

    I have this kit screaming "build me now!!!" How were the decals being so old?
  10. I would like to know some of this info also. I have the Gunze kit with the engine and 2 of them that are curb side. The PE rims are nice but im sure there are better ones in the aftermarket somewhere.
  11. Call ebay and make them find out. You will have to open a claim against the seller.
  12. Jesse, that is just too cool man!
  13. Lets not forget the 1/43 scale resin companies like Starter. What about white metal 1/43 also?
  14. Handling fee normally covers the box and packing supplies at normal companies. On Ebay i figure that cost into the starting price of the item. When i was a full time Ebay seller many years ago i spent about 700.00 a year on packing supply's and shipping boxes for the bigger stuff that wouldn't fit into the USPS boxes. It adds up quick and took out a chunk of profit before i did that. This is back when it was easy to sell on there and the fees were under 5% for Ebay and Paypal.
  15. For those to be all BMF they look outstanding! I never would have guessed.
  16. Nice looking car! I built the Gunze Sangyo version of this and it was really fun to build. I wish it came with those rims!!
  17. See guys, nothing to stop you from ordering!! Dig is a great stand up guy and has some killer products that you WILL NOT find anywhere else!

    Pretty cool idea. It seems to been floating around the Facebook a lot lately.
  19. I never have to go to the post office to find out shipping overseas, simply use the online calculator. Hasnt failed me yet, if something doesnt look right you can call the post office with the weight and measurements of the package and get a quote over the phone.
  20. I have ordered from the owner and he said the site was off. He is all over facebook just shoot him a message and ask, his name is Dig Derange. Pretty sure the new website is only a few weeks old, bugs happen.
  21. I never put the price on the shipping label. Mainly because when i enter the size and weight of the box on Ebay it gives the price for USPS shipping but when i pay with Paypal for shipping i get a discount on shipping cost about 1.00 on a 7.00 box. I have had buyers leave me negative feedback because i get a discount that i don't know what it will be till i buy the postage.
  22. I had this global shipping thing bite me several months ago when i sold a 1/43 resin Cheetah to a guy in Canada. I called Ebay and told them i wanted to be opted out of this program. I dont even have that option on my account any more for shipping. I told the buyer what happened and that it would cost him more money for me to ship through the program. I got around it by marking the shipment as shipped and entering in my own valid tracking number. Just be sure to keep all emails to the other person and ONLY email through Ebay.
  23. Hows the chrome on the pink caddy? I just got one and the windshield frame and top are broke and the body is poorly painted. Was going to start looking for replacement parts. What might you want for it?
  24. Its Testors one coat lacquer Mystic Emerald. Much darker than Synergy green.
  25. Thanks for the info guys. I will be on the lookout for one to show up near me.
