JeroenS Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Hi kp, that's always a good excuse to get someone to buy you a nice kit 🙂 Here's a link to the scalemates database regarding all 1/8 cars. A lot of Pocher kits so I'm guessing that's not similar money, and a lot of older kits too, maybe not currently in stock. Good luck! https://www.scalemates.com/search.php?q=*&fkSECTION[]=Kits&fkCATNAME[]="Cars"&fkTYPENAME[]="Full kits"&fkSCALE[]="1:8" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthewbacon Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 It’s not 1/8th, rather 1/12, but the new tool Italeri Alfa 8C 2300 Monza looks to be a great kit, and will sit nicely alongside an Airfix Bentley Blower... https://www.hiroboy.com/112_Alfa_Romeo_8C_2300_Monza__Pre_Order--product--13328.html best, M.

Cooper645 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 If I had a spare £150 laying about, I’d be buying a 1/12 Skyline (2 if I had a spare £300) Hiroboy Skykine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Smith Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) One of the previous posts said that the Heller Citroen Traction Avant was not 1/8 but 1/12. Actually it is 1/8. I had one that I sold on years ago. Heller also did the same car in 1/24th scale. Out of interest the full size Traction Avant was also built at Slough in the UK. As Michael Cane famously said "Not many people know that!' Mention was made about the new Italeri 1/12 scale Alfa 8C 2300 Monza. Really looks to be a nice kit and should be much better detailed than the old Airfix Bentley as it is a newly tooled kit. I have seen one or two pictures of this made up and it looks great. If Italeri are looking to make some of the older classic racers a Bugatti Type 59 would look really nice this scale or a Type 35 or 51.
