Daniel Peterson Posted February 11, 2007 Posted February 11, 2007 "Protar model kit for 1980 Bianchi Specialissima 1. Squadre Campione Italiana Campagnolo Super Record road bike. Size 1:9." At least that's the text from the 'bay auction that has since closed... It is referred to on the box as model no. 23174 My brother, 42 and now getting back into competitive road racing (...as in bicylces, you know, like Lance Armstrong and all) also built models as a punk kid. While looking for "real" bike parts on eBay, he found this kit and decided he wanted it in the worst way, albeit a little too late. Does anyone in the States have a line on where he might find one? This was sold out of Switzerland, but he's hoping to score one on this side of the Atlantic. If anybody has any ideas, please e-mail me at your convenience. Thanks!!
Modelmartin Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Those kits used to be sold in the US by several distributors. I would try Phoenix Models in Florida. They have a website phoenix-model.com . i just checked and they don't have them listed anymore. Those kits are not really that hard to find. Keep watching Ebay and be patient. You will find them at a decent price. I think there were 4 different bike kits.
BIGTRUCK Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 Seen one like that in a hobby shop in Chicago today , but it was made by Academy...dont know the scale of the one I seen but it was in a flat style box and went for $20.00 .If you need any info drop me a PM and I'll get you the whats and wheres...
