car metal kit Q
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, November 28, 2004 2:45 PM
i'm looking for snap on??? metal kits for my 11 year old son.
i know burago has some metal kits which can be assembled right away without painting.
any of you know if there are more manufacturers who made those kind of ready to assemble kits?
gracias,
Hans

maisto makes diecast kits. just an idea, but how about tamiya car kits ? the bodies are usually molded in color, and so are most of the detail pieces. unpainted it still would build into a nice car. just an idea. happy modelling with your son ! Smile [:)]

thanks Reggie,but i think plastic kits are out of the question.
a 11 year wants to see result in 5 minutes LOL.
i've searched ebay and so and found some nice things he'd probably like.
he's all crazy about the fast and the furious movies and i've spotted some of those movie cars /kits on ebay.

You need to get to Wal-Mart! Can you swim?
Bburago and Maisto are the big players in 1/24 diecast kits (Bburago kits are superior quality) Testor's markets both under its name, too. RC/Ertl, Racing Champions and American Muscle are all related and offer kits, too. Revell also offers diecast, like the Vanishing Point Challenger kit. They go together well, with assistance from an adult, though. Bigger kits in 1/18 scale come from RC/Ertl/Racing Champions/American Muscle and others less well known, but can be more difficult to assemble. I bought one new Ford GT as a kit (also available assembled) and wondered how they could possibly make it in China on an assembly line without going nuts.
