Westy Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 http://www.hlj.com/product/aos04062 Says discontinued mate...but so are my wheels apparently and I found a set. Manufacturer is Aoshima. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwarrior Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Just seen this thread, the detail in the models is awesome. I'm in the process of doing a similar thing but with a 2.4hp 1/10 scale Nitro RC car. Obviously not with the same level of detail. Thought it would be cool to play with while standing around at car park meets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ordered a few sets from them in the past too - is that where you tend to go as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 I've actually never built a model...this will be my first attempt. I was lucky to find my wheels I think...as I was just clicking through links in hobby websites and eventually found them. It looks about the only site that seems to have things in stock though. Going to order my Recaros soon also as they need to come from the states. Anyone else want a pair and we can split the shipping!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 How much?!! Works out about $17 delivered to my house for the pair...then whatever postage will be to forward it on!? So probably in the region of £14 for the pair!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JayK88 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I wouldn't mind! got pics or links to what they look like?

I'll leave it until Thursday night to get numbers; collect funds Fri and order at the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbooth Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I'm about 90% through building one of these, replica of my uk spec. Will get some pics up, detail and accuracy of the kit is very good. Just need to finish spraying and detailing the body and fashion some dildo's out of some off cuts and it's done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverSoop Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I bought one of these models a few years and 95% completed it. Built it, painted it etc but it as it was my first actual attempt, it didn't look that good I'm going to buy another one and try again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could still build the Supra, just glue the bonnet shut Edited January 15, 2013 by j_jza80 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
