over here there is still a lot of 345 kits, but mostly the big sedans(chaser, gloris, cedris crowns) going for around 6-10 USD a kit(these are new old stock)

Since I just restarted in box-collecting...er...I mean modelling, probably the rarest kit I have is this one:

- Hasegawa Jaguar XJ-S H.E. TWR

* if anyone has one lying around I really want! Check the classified thread!

Luiz

There are some cool kits in here for sure! I don't have any rare kits but one.

1:12 Rosso Honda NSX

Gotta be my Studio 27 Sainz Celica...Started but not finshed.
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e331/ohanra/Toyota%20Celica%20GT4/DSC03744.jpg
I also have a first release 1/12 Porsche 935 from tamiya.

1/24 Dragon BMW 320i 95 STW 1st edition (with decal number 8,9,10 for Winkelhock, Kox and Soper)

I think my rarest kit will be the
1/24 Tamiya Enzo full view clear kit.even the rims are clear except the rubber tyre.

My rarest kits would have to be:

1/20th scale MPC STP Turbine indy car, Not the wedge, but this one:http://i5.ebayimg.com/03/i/000/f8/2d/a964_1.JPG



I also have a 1/20th scale Tamiya M23 McLaren, also(2) 1/20th CG901 Leyton House kits, (2) Lotus 102D's Hakkinen,Herbert versions,(1) Lotus Mk III.

I think that that is it for rare.

@ devilkeeism, Wow an all clear enzo! I don't think I've seen that one. That would, or will be rare! Is anyone interested in opening a new widebody meet for this summer?

Probably this:

http://i32.tinypic.com/2m6ms89.jpg

1/24 Wave Ferrari 512S, I had two and sold one for 130 USD.

Rosso NSX 1:12 - I have two :)
ST27 - Spirit Honda

Just to support what i said is real
Here is the pics

The kits that i took ages to find and finally get it from one of the collector in Canada
Zero Fighter Mitsubishi Evolution
http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m158/devilkeeism/DSC00128-1.jpg

nothing spectacularly rare, just

Fujimi Enthusiast Lamborghini Countach "LP500S" (Walter Wolf special) and 5000 quattrovalvole two-car box set (also includes a swell baseball cap that says "countach"...woohoo [please excuse dry sarcasm])

And some awful Porsche 928 S (I think it may be Italeri, reboxed by Testors with no ID marks), old flat-chassis motorized slot car thing with opening doors and trunk and terrible detail. It will be a big project.

Neither of those is probably very rare but it's what I have. All others are run-of-the mill Revell, Tamy, and Fujimi stuff (oh and those god-awful AMTs)

Alex

Rosso NSX 1:12 - I have two :)

Lucky!

Let's see:

Tamiya - McLaren M-23 Marlboro, Lola T70 ( I have all of the F1's, both Porsches, the Lola and the Porsche 910)

Doyusa - BMW 3.5CSL

Protar - 1/12: McLaren MP4/2, Alfa Romeo 179 (1980), Ferrari 312T3

Model Factory Hiro: 1/24 Ferrari 512S Spyder SEFAC, Alfa Romeo T33/2, Ferrari 312PB and I have the Alfa T33/3 on order

Scale Designs: Alfa Romeo T33/3 1971

The only rare kit that I have
Tamiya mazda 787B

1/24 Revell Alpina B12
1/24 Ferrari F50GT

I have a 1958 Edsel ( 1/25 scale ) , that was a promotional item given to potential customers when they visited the Ford showrooms. It's in excellent shape !:smile:

Oh my...big news I think, actually I have never seen one for sale anymore.

My mom just sent me a box wich she found in my old stuff that is stored in a room at her house...She said it was one of my "toys"...

And it is a Tamiya Mercedes CLK-GTR Team Sportswear (the nice naked lady decals :grinyes: ) with FULL-VIEW...all clear body...

It is started but looks like all pieces are there.

Is this actually a rare kit?

I think that...The Fujimi Mugen Integra would be one of them...Not quite rare,I think that people didn't buy them because...They look WEIRD o_O
My Castrol Civic from Hasegawa,Tamiya's Toyota Exiv Touring car,Fujimi Civic SiR,and a Ford GT40 from Fujimi too...I think it's the MK.II model!

I don't really have RARE stuff...Just some hard-to-find-gives-some-bad-headache-search-but-you-can-find-'em models... o_O

- 1/24 Tamiya Mustang Cobra R
- 1/24 Hasegawa Subaru Legacy RS (soon )

Perrys Ferrari 333SP

Most resin is somewhat rare by nature (and I have way more than I care to admit, at least to my wife!)

The original release Fujimi #40 MR-2 t-top sw20 that I am building. The box was in awful shape when I got it. Something that likes to eat paper had it's way with the instructions too.

Fujimi replaced this version with the hardtop version when the new sw20 with the round tail lights came out.

I'm not sure if these are rare.... but I'll just post the photos of my older kits. :icon16:

Matra Jet5 from Maquettes Verneuil. The only one I've ever seen.

http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/3269/recordrenaultflorideboxic4.th.jpg (http://img100.imageshack.us/my.php?image=recordrenaultflorideboxic4.jpg)


Renault Floride by Maquettes Record. One of two I've ever seen.

Both in 1/24. The Matra unbuilt but instructions are missing and it seems to be not totally complete. The Floride is in absolute mint condition.

CAN ANYBODY HELP WITH INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MATRA?? PLEEEEAAAASE.

Rare enough :confused: ?

Kind regards, Andy

These are damn rare kits
