The kit looks great! And it's not curbside.... woohoo! Dunno if it was locally made but the instruction manual states that it was printed locally. Got it for PhP 495.00 which is pretty acceptable to me considering how much the others (Fujimi curbsides) cost.
Yep I saw a Skyline but I think it wasn't the street version. Also saw the Subaru WRC car.
Himala talaga nung Friday na hindi ako na-traffic. Believe me when I say that I was surprised! It usually takes me 30 mins to an hour just to get there from Alabang.
Nice to hear you were able to get a good "deal", hehe! Well as always, Tamiya just punishes the competition with its engineering -- swerte ha, hindi curb-side. Hehe!
Car-modeller ka ren pala cbrain? Galing ah, hindi ko alam yun! Patingin naman iba mong works.
Which Subaru WRC Car was there? If you chance upon a WRC Subaru Arai version, I'd recommend the kit highly, galing pa nang decals which come with the kit -- which essentially means medyo magaling ka dapat mag lapat nang decals, haha! Which I'm not, unfortunately. So I'm putting the kit aside, for now.
Which Skyline did you see? I'm currently on the look out for the Calsonic Skyline and the Pennzoil Skyline, blue and yellow respectively.
On the bit on Fujimi, well I think I've voiced out my theory on how the things are priced on another thread. Hehe! Pero IMO sulit pa ren yung binabayaran mo talaga if you're on the hunt for really nice import cars. Pag dating sa European cars, or WRC/GT/F1 cars, sulit pa ren para sa akin ang Tamiya. Bar None.
On a side note. The Hobby Shop in Shangri-La Edsa Mall seems to be stocking up on car kits, and AFV kits, too. Though a bit limited, still it's nice to know when you drop by Shang, may mapupuntahan na tayo na "lugar". Most of their car kits are VW Beetles, I even saw a Hasegawa kit. Most of them are priced at Fujimi-prices, though, plus most of them are a bit old; but if you're a VW afficionado then you might want to drop by that shop, too.
