no one is interested....?

 

bump for Torokun...

c'mon people this is a REALLY nice kit!!!!!!

 

how much??

 

Just ordered mine for 2000 Yen/18.00 US. Now the wait begins...

 

I am down for 2.

 

me too

 

So far comparing the Fujimi and the Tamya side by side the Tamya seems to look better and sit better. I will post pics as I work on each.

 

I just took a look @ HPI Racing JP and the have the MB SLR McLaren. I want that one. I think that if we write to xmods and tell them to make a Scion xB and tC it will happen if we get enough people to write. Anyone else down?

 

Model car building is my #1 hobby. I have both the Tamiya and Fujimi bB kits. They are virtually identical and not USDM Scion xB's. They both have their pros and cons. I got the Fujimi kit for the factory rear spoiler. I plan to cast the spoiler in resin so I can have one for my Tamiya kit.

Both kits are RHD and feature a front bench seat with a column shift automatic. Both are what us in the hobby refer to as "curbside" with no engine or underhood detail.

I want to build one as a quasi-replica of my BOP xB. Tamiya makes some killer spray paints that are synthetic lacquer. Their Dark Metallic Blue will be a close enough match for BOP. Tamiya Black Metallic is a close match for BSP. If you use any of the Tamiya metallics, pearls or micas you must use Tamiya gloss clear to get the deep shine.

Email or PM if you need any model questions answered!!!

 

I'm big into model building, too. I don't know if you're familiar with Scale Auto magazine (www.scaleautomag.com), but it's a great resource for model building skills.

 

thats it! im going to buy the xB/bB plastic model next if i have time...

 

I know it is kind of dead but if anybody wants to get the Tamiya bB 1:24 scale plastic model HLJ has them in stock I just ordered one. here is a link to it: if anyone wants to get one!! http://www.hlj.com/product/TAM24224.
