Buy 'em all! The only bad kit is the one you never see!

I'd avoid the Amt '59 vette,and see if you could get the Revell '59 vette for about 15.00.

1 - No idea

2 - Good kit, well worth $5.00

3 - Very good kit, much like the '68 Roadrunner. A Steal at $5.00

4 - Newer designed kit, no major issue I recall reading about.

5 - Older (early '70s) Monogram kit, decent, but nothing to wow you. Might want to pass on this one and pick up another '69 GTX

My jaw has hit the floor at the prices , to give you an idea my local hobby shop sells current revell kits for anywhere up to $65 and Tamiya around $55 each , remember our dollar is currently very similar to yours too . I don't care what those kits are like , even if you only use the motors or wheels or whatever out of them in projects I'd be grabbing whatever you can afford and have fun with them .

[mikemodeler]

If they are ones you desire, then the prices are very reasonable and I would buy them. I agree with Casey on his analysis of the kits you have listed, but remember that is only an opinion.

As Ian stated, look for kits that you can buy and source various parts from as well. I have some kits that their only purpose was to furnish a set of wheels/tires or an engine. Everything else became trade material or the body was used for practice with the airbrush.

Let us know what you end up purchasing.

Ouch!!! that price is crazy

[sports850]

There is another hobby store an hours drive north of here ( www.scaleautomobilia.com.au )who is more reasonable and he gets the majority of my buisiness , but you have to wait till it's worth making the trip there . I'd love top be able to get my hands on any kit for $5-10

I would kill for a Cop Out at that price. The kit is really kind of nice, and the lightbar is a beautiful copy of a "Mars" bar like Chicago used for years.

Kit prices here, suck.

Really loved our last trip and using hobby lobby vouchers to grab kits for 12 bucks or so.
