Mike, I believe that those particular Tamiya motorcycle kits are long out of production. They would most likely only be available from private sellers, through eBay or Facebook Marketplace. Since they are out of production, they will most likely command a high price.

tamiya paint stand parts
Bill Eh? replied to chris chabre's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I found a pdf of the Instruction Manual. Each part of the set has an identifying number, the instruction sheet as well. the numbers range from 7807140 through 7807144. I could not identify which number goes with which part , except for the clips. It looks, however, that the only part that you can purchase separately are the clips (7807143). -
Yellow Fever Competition Coupe, Keeler's Kustoms
Bill Eh? replied to stavanzer's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Mark, thank you for the advice in your post. This progression of fitting parts makes a lot of sense. i am going to save these steps, as a general guideline to myself, when I am undertaking drag racing subjects. I like drag racing kits, but have minimal experience when building them. Bill -
The best bottled paint mixing balls!
Bill Eh? replied to Dpate's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
When searching Amazon, I found a listing selling various diameter stainless steel balls by weight. 500 g for about $30. The amount you get varies with the diameter. I bought the 3 mm size ( 1/8 in. ). 500 g of that size equated to a little over 4000. I have a lifetime supply and it was free shipping. I made some packages of about 100 and gave them to my modelling friends. -

Round "Micro" Diamond Files
Bill Eh? replied to Straightliner59's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Greg, I bought my set after seeing Daniel's initial post. The link that Joe provided, sadly does not ship to Canada. The best price I could find was through Amazon.ca. Going through my purchase history, I have this link: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B007WQQKTU?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details They are worth it, especially when replicating tube frames or roll cages. -
Bob, I really like the first line of your signature.

With kits of this vintage, you have to ask yourself which is more important to you, the journey, or the destination. For me it's the journey or the process of building. For others it is all about the destination or final product. These are not always mutually exclusive. Sometimes you have both, sometimes not. LOL

IndyCals sells a set for the Wyer Racing Gulf 917. The set is for the 1970 Spa Francorchamps winner. I believe they are for the Fujimi kit. Your title says Fujimi, but the post says Heller. I believe these are two different kits . Here is the link: https://www.indycals.net/decals/lemans/70gulf917k24spa.html

Just to clarify Tom's response, Paasche refers to the tip sizes for the H as 1, 3, and 5. These numbers to not correspond to either inch or millimetre values Tip 1, as Tom said is 0.45 mm. Tip 3 is 0.75 mm, and Tip 5 is 1.05 mm Tip 1 should be adequate to spray large areas, such as a car's body. If this does not deliver sufficient paint, go up to Tip 3. Tip 5 would be overkill. LOL

19 Weeks, 4 Days later, this detail-up set finally arrived. I had cheaped-out on shipping and had given up on having it arrive at all.

Let's See Some Glue Bombs!
Bill Eh? replied to Snake45's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
When I first saw this, I could only think that I sure hope that I'm seeing white school glue! LOL -
Daniel, thank you very much for the pictures and link. Sadly, that particular seller does not ship to the Great Frozen North! LOL I eventually found the set on Amazon.ca and just made the purchase. There were a couple of other sellers at a higher price point. Expensive, yes. Are good tools worth the investment? I think so.

I have had good luck with Kijiji over the past three days. All of the purchases, except the AMT Sandkat were from Kijiji. The Sandkat was from my LHS, Dailey Hobbies. Only the Tamiya Porsche GT2 was slightly started. They used old tube glue, so it was relatively easy to disassemble the pieces.

It makes you wonder if the seller looked at the box art or read the description in the upper right hand corner. In any event, a great score for you Dan. Most Kijiji model car listers here believe that any used, common model car kit is worth a minimum of $40.
