Pilgrim_UK Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Been wanting this kit for years and like everything on the grail list is way overpriced. ( then again what price art eh) This kit is easily in my top 5. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221294182862?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Now if anybody would like to kindly donate to the fund. I would show appreciation by squealing like a gurlie. From an anime Film called Venus wars. One of my favourites from the late 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Looks like he has another one then I've brought from this guy before. He relists at a lower price until somebody bites. However if you could work off the instruction sheet I think it would be possible to scratch-build it. While you're saving up give it a go....

Pete in Lincs Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 So that's what it is. I've seen a couple of these built up in pictures before. Yes, wouldn't be too difficult to scratch. what is that wheel from? A 1/12th Gold wing? Go on, You know you want to. And, what could you buy with the money you'll save?

Pete Or it could be from a Harley kit. The nose piece looks like a P-80 (T-33) part modified and the side pieces look like wing roots from the same or a similar source inside out. If you split the money with me and Pete we'll help to invest it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilgrim_UK Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 Been thinking about scratch building it but on my woefully untouched list of things to do. If anything it would be a hunk of Milliput etc thinking more sculpting a replica than using plastic parts. This seller has been trying to sell it for years and at that price I doubt he will. Far east is a bit of hot spot for recasting surprised nobody has bought this and churned out a few copies. Would be a nice little earner for somebody Looks like my gurley squealing can wait for another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roymattblack Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 The trouble with Holy Grails, is that sometimes that's all they ever are - you never get one.... My advice??? Bite the bullet, and BUY it!!! It might mean you don't buy another 'normal' kit for quite a while, but you will have your 'Grail'. All the other 'normal' kits will always be there. Your Grail kit might not. Roy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilgrim_UK Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 This one can wait Roy. Only because I felt its way overpriced other wise I would buy it. Yes its a rare item but I would be an absolute mug to buy it at that price. I like splurging out as much as the next person on "toys" but thats just mental Anyway I managed to lessen my grail list by 2 this year so its not all bad.
