Hobbies Scale Model Kits

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

^^Yeah pretty much, but acualy just want the Engine itself. But yeah that kit you showed will be popular as ppl want to take the engine out and use it for other Skyline models.

I get all of my kits from this site.

awesome i have to do a few 430challenge models up for some sponosrs (better than just giving them a picture for their support) and HLJ are out of stock. How long do these guys take to send out the models?

Yeah $150 sounds about right.

You tried the "Hobby Place"

280 - 282 Lonsdale Street

Melbourne, VIC 3000

(Opposite Myer)

I bought my Auto Art R34 GTR there, which cost $110 at the time but he sold it to me for $100 cause it was missing the box.

As posted in the other thread in Wasteland...

MY GT-R collection is slowly growing...

Top row, left to right:

• AUTOart R34 GT-R V-Spec
  
• AUTOart R32 GT-R V-Spec II (in white)
  
• Kyosho KPGC10 2000GT-R
  

Middle row:

• AUTOart R32 GT-R Group A. 1993 BP Oil/Trampio - limited edition, 10 of 3000
  
• Biante R32 GT-R Group A. 1992 Bathurst winner (the Winfield car as driven by Skaife and Richards) - limited edition, 1 of 4000 (I think)
  
• Kyosho R32 GT-R Group A. Calsonic racing
  

Bottom row:

• Jada Toys R32 GT-R as seen in Initial D - driven by the Night Kids
  
• some cheapo R34 pull-back toy
  
• iWaver R34 GT-R remote control car
  

AUTOart R32 GT-R police car (limited edition, 1 of 6000) and AUTOart R32 GT-R V-Spec II (in Spark Silver)

These two will be joining the rest in the cabinet once I make room for them. I might also buy some of those 1:18 scale hoists and some tools and mechanics so I can set up a diorama, and it will also save me buying more glass shelves and drilling holes inside the cabinet to mount them...

I'm REALLY tempted to get more police cars (from different prefectures in Japan) and some more race cars, and if I can find more of the V-Spec II R32's around I might try and see if I can get them in all the available colours.

I wish they made a C34 Stagea in 1:18 scale die-cast!

One I prepared earlier...

This one still has a long way to go..

[CeJay]

Forget ebay. http://www.hlj.com is what you need.

The Tamiya KPGC10 kit is by far the best. It has full engine and chassis detail ; aoshima and fujimi kits are kerbside (no engine detail, rudimentary chassis), and the interior and exterior detail is also primitive.

However, of course its easier to get those (aoshima, fujimi kits) in the racing versions. There is a ~$75 transkit to turn the tamiya kit into a race version...

Searching KPGC10 on HLJ.com gets you...

http://www.hlj.com/hljlist2/?Dis=-2&fr...chpage=top_page

The Hakosuka kit I'm working on which is posted further up this page is the Tamiya GT-R kit; although the flares, chin spoiler are custom, wheels/tyres by Aoshima, and the engine and oil cooler from Fujimi kits.

meh

i think i'll start with the bog stock one, then maybe get a racing one

i dont mind kerbside models as i'll most likely just be displaying them in a cabinet anyway

and i dont care if its a KPGC10 or KPGC110 - both are as awesome as each other lol

[342Four]

lol

just realised that the tamiya KPGC10 hard top model id posted above came with engine

cheaper on eBay then from HLJ

iz buying it now......

[floody]

Fair enough. Just trying to help.

Good choice on the Tamiya one. My gripes with the kerbside fujimi and aoshima ones aren't just about the lack of detail, its also in deformed proportions and such they have.

I buy from HLJ or hobbyworld because I've had nothing but grief from shady Hong Kong ebay sellers.

Yeah, $10 buy it now...$50 to ship it...In a brown paper bag with tape over the end, and labelled as a gift to avoid duties... Bought 3 kits from Honkers, 2 have been crushed, one irretrievably, got sodomised on shipping costs each time, took weeks to ship each time...Never, ever again. In contrast I've had 20+ kits ex-Japan with no problems.
