My boys want me to build some car models for them (I'm mostly a period ship modellor, but what the hey), but I'm having a hard time finding kits of them.
The first, to me, is sort of a "duh" for models. A 1967 Mustang GT500. But, it has to be Eleanor. That's right, of "Gone in 60 Seconds" fame. There's a huge poster of it on my boy's wall and he'd love a model. I wish I could find it in 1/12, but of course, wish in one hand and **** in the other....1/24 will do.
The second is also a kind of duh. While there are "tuner" kits out there (Aoshimi makes some nice ones), I have yet to find any real hardcore tuner kits that go all out. By this I mean lowered, 19 inch wheels, body kits, wide body kits....just all out custom tuners. I've found some for the Skyline and a few others, but nothing really wild, especially for cars like the 350Z, Honda Civic....you get my drift...
Does anyone know if these kinds of kits are even made and where I can find them. I've been all over the web and Aoshimi is the only one that comes close.
And I don't see why someone hasn't created a kit for Eleanor. I believe it would sell like crazy, especially in a large scale...
Thanks for the help.
