I often buy glue bombs, but this is usually only to strip them off useable parts such as wheels, engines etc... If they are totally interesting to me, unpainted, not quite caked in glue and mostly complete, I might consider finishing them, so to speak... But to tackle fully restoring a glue bomb with heavy paint and glue, it really would have to be a rare kit, unlikely to ever be reissued, along the lines of a Jo-Han or something similar

I just received my BMW M3 body kit from USCP, and it seems to fit the Revell 325i kit perfectly! Can't wait to get it started

That is just mind-blowing! I would also like to see the process of opening/hinging the door if possible

Well, I've had no luck on the forums or on ebay over the last year or so... Finding specific parts, that is... Buying a complete builtup or promo is just too expensive for me, unfortunately.

I had that suspicion, but it was just too difficult to tell for sure from the pics I could find online. Thank you for the reply... My search for '64 taillights continues I guess

Specifically, I'd like to know whether the stock taillights in both kits are the same and interchangeable. Thanks in advance! MATIJA

So what IS the story about Heller? Last news I heard were all gloom and doom... I ask because I like the Gordini and don't want to end up disappointed

I just ordered their M3 body kit for my E36 BMW 325i by Revell, so I'm glad to read the positive feedback here

Just finished "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri", and it's definitely in my top 5 of 2017: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5027774/

I have had equal pleasure and satisfaction of trading with Bill Allen aka Bill Eh? from Canada. As a relatively new member/trader on here, and with all the recent drama of new traders scamming people, he was more than willing to ship first at my request, as it was a "valuable" kit trade (my Italeri Ferrari 275 GTB for his Fujimi Enthusiast '73 Porsche Carrera RS). I give this gentleman my seal of approval! Trade away with confidence... I hope to have an opportunity to do so again

I don't mean to add oil on the fire, but I'm surprised MCG never released a '68 Charger set... Would really like to see that one!

Hey Kerry! As someone who has traded with you several times, I hate seeing this happen to anyone, but especially you! Keep your head up, man, this place would not be the same without you! If you ever need anything and I have it, it's yours And those who deserve them will get their come-uppings sooner or later...

Thanks for the input guys! I ended up buying the kit for 12 euros including shipping, which is not bad - despite the used condition, considering it's out of production and getting somewhat harder to find at a reasonable price... Either way, it's as close to the Pagoda as it gets in kit form so I'm pretty excited about it Now here's to hoping the "glass" isn't quite superglued to the body...

Thanks for the pics JC! It looks like a nice kit

Thanks for the replies! I wonder why they did that, considering they labelled the rally versions properly Either way, I never paid much attention to Esci before, because their only kit I have is the Ferrari 250 SWB with those atrocious body proportions, which I will probably get rid of as soon as I find the Italeri kit... So I just figured they didn't make good models at all, but I hope the funny body isn't a problem with this kit because I really like it, as well as some of their other kits I've only just seen for the first time recently. Also, I wonder how complicated it might be to cut the hood out since it opens with the grille attached to it, as not much can be found in terms of built-up pics online... Another interesting thing about this kit, in my opinion, is the fact it includes licence plates and markings for South Africa! I've never seen that before...

Hi everyone! I'm looking to buy the mentioned kit in condition seen on pic... I like the car, however, I don't know much about the kit itself... What I do know is it's long out of production and somewhat rare... Can anyone tell me more? Specifically, does it seem complete from the pic? Also, I see it has engine detail, but the hood seems molded shut... Any insight regarding this? And from the box art it seems more like a 450, not 500... Anyone know for sure? Thanks

I'd be ok with never getting another kit when I find these two...

Definitely looks real! WOW

As a matter of fact, that is the very ad I was referring to In case you're wondering, I lived in Holland for many years and still have an address there, so I shop on Marktplaats quite a bit. It's a great place. One can find nice kits for a good price... Not in this case, it seems, however Thanks for the replies everyone!

Has anyone ever come across these? I never heard of Masterkit Models before (a Brasilian company, apparently, which is evident from the Portuguese writing on the boxes)... I just came across the Rolls Royce for sale, but the seller wants 40 euros for it and I'm not sure what to make of it... Is it a Minicraft/Entex rebox or something completely different? How about the other two? I have the Italeri Mercedes, which is a great kit, so not too excited about that one, but that Triumph sure is interesting... They are the only car kits in 1/24 scale I could find (there are also planes and other kits out there), so any info on these would be appreciated, even though they really do smell like Entex... Thanks in advance

Hello! I'm from EU/Croatia and I would be very interested to know what you have... There is no public selling allowed on the forum, but send me a private message with a list of what you have and we can take it from there Kind regards. MATIJA

Thanks for the tip, Shay

Finally is all I can say! Even for a curbside kit

Wow... That looks nothing like the factory car! And in an awesome way too!!

What the guys above me said... And I rather like it without bumpers What are those wheels? They suit the car perfectly!
