Set an eBay search agent up for this kit. It is a reissue so there are several older issues out there. With a search agent, they'll send you an email whenever one is available. Eventually you'll find one at a bargain price.
doorsovdoon Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Yep, I have the ebay feelers switched on! haha.

Take care when ordering from ebay in the states mate, anything over 15 quid will cost you import duty on top. Try dave coloys emporium in the uk or kingkit in the uk as they have a decent selection of us kits and aren't too bad on price for some of them

I can't find a definitive answer to UK customs charges. It says anything under £135 there is no charge, but I've been charged before for a set of rear light units I bought in the states for my 1-1 car a couple years ago for $80.
ChrisBcritter Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) I picked up the reissue of the AMT '70 Wildcat a few years ago; I keep thinking dangerous thoughts like "Why not put an engine in it like the '69 had?" I gotta stop listening to those voices... So I picked these bits up today - '69 engine and firewall (with an interior attached): Still need the radiator wall if anyone has one, but it's a pretty simple part if I have to scratchbuild it. I would like to get the drive belts and accessories from an original '66 Riviera to add all the power accessories this car should have. Bet I'll have hours of delightful fun separating that firewall from the interior Edited October 26, 2020 by ChrisBcritter

Its stopped me buying stuff from the states. I know i've had a few orders that got a lot added on when it got here, but others of higher value got nothing. https://www.royalmail.com/sites/default/files/International-customs-charges-leaflet-Jan-2017.pdf also they include shipping when they do the calculation Edited October 25, 2020 by stitchdup

GeeBee Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 eBay is a dangerous site for me to go on, ended being the highest bidder on this one
doorsovdoon Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Ah, so that was you. I clicked on that one a few times, just browsing you know! I came close a few times to bidding but I have four or five kits I've yet to start so I restrained myself... this time, haha.

It's slowly getting the better of me I can assure you, I keep eyeing one of the Big 1/16 Chevy Bel Air convertible kits on there, it's going to happen, haha!

The only 1:16th scale kit I've got is the Revell Volkswagen Beetle with the electronics, which was supplied by Revell UK for a build review, i really need to make a start on it,

ChrisBcritter Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Picked up two more sets of '66/'67 Corvair 13" five-lug steelies. I should have enough now to attempt a four-lug conversion I can cast up; a lot of early '60s compacts need them along with six-cylinder early Mustangs and Pintos.
