2ManyZs Posted February 14, 2004 Share #1 Posted February 14, 2004 With all the recent interest (mine included) in die cast Z models and plastic model kits, I happened to see these on Ebay today.I don't remember ever seeing any Roadster model kits before, but here's two on Ebay right now.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3175548041&category=1190http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3175558584&category=2581 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th-Z Posted February 14, 2004 Share #2 Posted February 14, 2004 Hey 2ManyZs! Nice photos of your diecast cars! I have been interested in model kits, although the diecasts get to be enjoyed right away. Nice 432. I know people are looking for one of these http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3175919101&category=2583 This is my current collection of plastic model kits.

2ManyZs Posted February 14, 2004 Author Share #3 Posted February 14, 2004 I've been watching the model kits on Ebay as well. Although, I'm getting too impatient and shaky to do one the way it should be assembled.......:disappoin I've been watching the 1/12 Tamiya kits to put away, but, wow, the prices on them are pretty high, even higher than the Kyosho die-casts I just got.I guess I'd rather collect the die-cast, no work required and I can spend the time on the ones in the shop that need my attention more than a plastic model.I was surprised at the Roadster model kit, as I'd never seen one before.

26th-Z Posted February 15, 2004 Share #4 Posted February 15, 2004 I'm not crazy about the Yat Ming models. They just aren't very accurate. I want a Monte Carlo #5 car, preferably in 1/24, but haven't seen one recently. I'm also on the prowl for this 432 kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ManyZs Posted February 15, 2004 Author Share #5 Posted February 15, 2004 The Yat Ming die casts I've seen aren't as good as the Maisto I got, but the Maisto doesn't compare to the detail of the Kyosho, of course, for the price of one Kyosho you can buy 2 of the Maisto's.... The Yat Mings I've seen,when you open the door or hatch, the paint colors don't match. Try looking at Tower Hobbies site, they've got a great selection of die cast and plastic models. http://www.die-cast-models.com/ Check out their other hobby sites for plastic models. Now, the Fujimi kits are almost as hard to find as the 1/12 Tamiya kits. The 432R kit is one I haven't seen in a while either.:disappoin Seems most of the plastic kits you see are all ZG models anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted February 15, 2004 Share #7 Posted February 15, 2004 I found a pretty awesome model. It's a modified die-cast 240z made to look like it's a junker... Pretty sweet. These are created one-by-one by individual artists... I couldn't pass it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 15, 2004 Share #8 Posted February 15, 2004 It's a realistic model, just look at the rust in the doors!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caen Fred Posted February 15, 2004 Share #9 Posted February 15, 2004 I am a big scale model fan. I have found most of my treasures in Japanwww.hlj.com This is the best place I have found, they are very quick in shipping and most of their price are OK (if your a fan!).You may ask them to do some diging in for old kits nla.Frenchy Fred...
