Nick Millman Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Couple of Tsukuda oddities, both with box art by Masao Satake (who does the covers of the Bunrin-Do FAOW series). The Shiragiku has a vacform fuselage, injection molded wings and stabilisors and white metal detail parts. The Saetta is ex-Revell - Tsukuda released a few of these with new box art including the Do 335 (ex-Frog) and He-115 (ex-Frog). Have those too but no pics.

hythe Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Interesting thread - turned up a good few kits I'd certainly never heard of before. As for my own obscurities... Maintrack (I think?) Bristol Type 188 Aurora F8U-1 Rareplanes Skyshark (for sale) Revell F-101A (for sale) Anigrand C-124 Still itching to find a Helio Courier or a Fairchild Peacemaker at halfway sensible prices... The Peacemaker's just a matter of time, but the Helio seems really quite rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 hythe, Roden already do a 1/48 AU-23 Peacemaker in plastic. Think there may be a civilian version out later on. Regards, Gerard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hythe Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 hythe,Roden already do a 1/48 AU-23 Peacemaker in plastic. Think there may be a civilian version out later on. Regards, Gerard Yep, I know - it's the Roden that I'm waiting to pick up at a sensible price (i.e. more like £15 than £25) - already have the Air America edition in the stash - the Peacemaker's not rare, unlike the Courier, just mildly esoteric. Actually, I nearly forgot the luvverly Collect-aire TF-9J "Two-gar" which I recently acquired from another member. My Vietnam collection is nearing completion... Anyone ever seen a kit of the QT-2PC or YO-3A? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 hythe, I vaguely recall seeing an advert in a magazine, maybe FSM ? for a YO-3A. In the meantime..... http://www.fantastic-plastic.com/LockheedYO-3A.htm Regards, Gerard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 1/48 Fiat Ritmo - production date unknown 1/48 Citroen Dyane 6 - production date unknown I had both of those as a kid, except my Dyane was blue. I also had an orange VW Golf, and a white one, which I think was some kind of Renault. I wish I'd kept them, they were great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pielstick Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I don't have anything that is truly rare or esoteric, but I do have a few kits which are fairly highly sought after and usually fetch a pretty price on Ebay: I have all of the CA kits of British subjects, but here's some of the more sought after ones: Here's a few Hasegawa boxings that you don't see very often: And then a few more kits which often fetch a premium price on Ebay (the Spitfire should be with the Hasegawa kits above): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
