Working in Welland, ON. Got done early enough to stop at a local antique ( and mostly ) car model shop in Port Colborne. 10 bucks each for these old classics !

[PR19_Kit]

A quite large box arrived from Jadlam Models just now, rather surprising as I'd only ordered three 1/32 scale car kits intended for slot racer conversions.

Inside I found these...........



Note the Scale Reference Revell Contacta pot alongside (the Scale reference Cat is outside sunning itself!) and note these are 1/32 scale model cars!

On opening the box I found the sprues were still the original M'box plastic, just moulded in different colour styrene, but the same size as they always were!



That's the Tyrell P34-2 body moulding on the far right hand side of bag of sprues. They'd easily fit in a box half the size of the one they're supplied in!

Why Mr. Revell are you wasting SO much of the world's resources on so much wildly oversized packaging? It's almost criminal!     

[zenrat]

That IS ridiculous.  Matchbox sold them in boxes the same size as their 1/76 military and smaller 1/72 aircraft.

What are the prices like?  I was tempted by the repopped 1/32 Mercedes SSKL until I saw they wanted $43.

[PR19_Kit]

Jadlam are selling them for £15 each, down from £23.

[Rick Lowe]

The size of those boxes - that's just extracting the urine.

Thanks Kit.  Thats still $30.

[PR19_Kit]

And I've just found that neither the Porsche not the Surtees include the clear sprue for their windscreens! 

It's almost irrelevant on the Porsche as it's only 1.5 mm high and just a curved strip , but it's part of the aero package on the Surtees. Rude emails are already winging their way to Revell Gmbh...............

[zenrat]

Thats not good.  Obviously not done to save costs given those prices.

Perhaps there wasn't room in the box for the clear sprue...

Is that Cutting Set an etched fret?

[kitbasher]

From my LHS an Airfix ASR launch.  Never had one.

[Gondor]

Is that Cutting Set an etched fret?

It is Kit, just under 0.5mm steel, so it's a bit of a pain to clean up.
