Hello. A while back Fujimi produced a very nice kit of this car, The Mercedes Benz 190E Evolution 2

I have searched ebay for it and all I can find is Tamiay's racing version. I do not want that kit.

I'm looking for Fujimi's kit of the street-version. The kit was molded in black, and it was a very nice kit to build. I had one ages ago. Would like to find another one soon. Any suggestions? Anybody know where I might find it?

I had one a long time ago; it's been awhile since it was issued/reissued, eventually they may reissue it. If you can't find it on the 'bay, it's not going to be any easier anywhere else.

Even if it's rare today, it's not worth much as it's really a pretty crude model to begin with, not anywhere near Fujimi's quality of today. It has a generic chassis shared with their also weak E30 M3, which is especially spoiled by it's "chopped top" appearance. Resist paying too much for any of Fujimi's kits tooled in the '80's. Eventually you'll find one.

Fujimi's race cars were basically decorated street cars. If you find a racing version of the Evolution II, it's the same basic kit. It might not be molded in black, but it will have all the basic parts.

Thank you but I dont' want one with a race-prepped interior. All the cars I build are race-based or street-based street cars. I dont' like the gutted out interior look with fire-extinguishers and what not.
