Foxer Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Welcome to the forum. Think you'll like putting something you built .. and to your own specifications .. up on shelf next to those mass produced models. There IS a diecast section here too.

Thank You - The more i read the builds section ... the lesser I want to buy die casts and build my own ... The builds here are far superior to any diecasts I own ... Cheers! Welcome! Thank you!

Are the Japanese Kits (Aoshima, Tamiya & Hasegawa) readily available> Are the Cheaper? Be nice to hear, how you access kits. Alan Thanks Alan for the warm welcome. Well to be honest ... this hobby both diecast models and kit building is not very big like it is in the states ... So most of the stuff we get online ... and its a lot more expensive that way since we pay for international shipping and custom taxes as well ... the big diecast folks are the usual suspects - Maisto, Bburago and Welly ... Although some more autoart and minichamps are coming in frequently nowadays. Aoshima, Tamiya, Hasegawa, Airfix, Revell, AMT are a rare find ... and whatever is purchased is usually from overseas travel or online orders ... normally a 3 week wait
stavanzer Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Thanks, for the quik reply. That is about what I had guessed would be the case. Sounds like a trip to the LHS (Local Hobby Shop) is not somwthing you get to do. Alan
Jeepxj Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Welcome to the site,new here too.I gotta say,this has to be the best model car forum on line.Better even,then SAE.Which is also a greAt website.However one thing seperate the two sites,is that there is a drag racing (only).Section.And that's pretty much all I build, drag cars.Pro Stovk /mod,Pro street,etc..And the guys on her,are some of the most talented group of builders,that I've ever seen.WOW.Have fun,great place to waste some valuable time,while you are on the crappa.Ha
