Some nuts asked for 35,000 JPY for the same kit WITHOUT the extra 'photoetching parts' in the later posts on the same Yahoo! Japan auction. So I know exactly where you are coming from .....bossy122 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 22, 2022 1:34 pm
That is more than I paid but it's still under $100 for a hard to find kit. The funny thing is that I have seen more 1/20 Hiro kits going for less than the Aoshimas. It's a mixed up world.

Oh wee, the Type C just arrived and the box is about half the height of the regular 1/12 MFH kits - length and width of the box are the same.
Cheers,

Helped a retiring modeler by taking 3 1/12 Tamiya bikes (still looking to replace my Fiat Yamaha '08 for $25...lol), the 2019 Toyota LM car and Sullivan's Miller Penske off his hands for cheap... He helped me by donating a bunch (a bunch) of Tamiya X, XF and Laquer paints plus some odds and ends of Zero paints..). Donating the Toyota and one of the bikes to a friend and his son. The son is a magician with these kits.

Re: What is your latest model purchase
I bought 4 kits in the past 3 months.
First is the Aoshima/Beemax 1/20 BT52 (Monaco) kit. I bought it in a local shop at 60 Cdn. It is an unopen kit and I think it is a reasonable price. I am using it as my base for my 1/24 project. I always like this car. So I will sale this kit once I complete my 1/24 version.
The second kit is the very old Gunze kit of the Messerschmitt KR200 micro car. I get the Lupin version that includes 3 figures. I bought this kit from Japan at 3000 yan.
The last 2 kits I bought are cheap kits from Bandai. I was surprise to find them in the local shop at 12 Cdn each. The model is about 10 cm long only. They bring back memories of my kid days.

Re: What is your latest model purchase
Just flew in from Japan. Planning on building this curbside, anyone have any tips on this kit?
