IMC/ Union model co. - good or worth just for nostalgic value?

[eran_k]

i have an opportunity to buy 2 IMC/Union kits:

Lola T-70

VW beetle 2 in 1

the asking  price is ~70$ per kit.

are these actually good kits in todays standards?  - i'm a builder not a collector.

They're both good kits for their era. The T-70 is the best kit of a T-70 that I know of in 1/25 although Tamiya in their big car series has a hardtop that is far superior. The Beetle is an interesting kit but Tamiya and others have a better Bug in 1/25 or 1/24 scale. The Bug always looked large to me as it its 1/24 or 1/23 scale. Both are fiddly. Unless the T-70 is drop dead mint and you really want one, I'd pass on it. The Bug's value is in nostalgia and not building an accurate VW.

You can see what building the T70 is like here:

If you want a 1/24 T70, it’s the only game in town…

For plastic, yes.  If you can still find one, there is this resin multimedia kit, but a Mark II/III and over twice the $70 price
