Not a car but still a kit that needs building.  |

Very cool find Steve ! I've never seen this bandai release before but it's not surprising they did it . Interesting that they even included original decals ! |

My wife bought me this today, very Meccano like! See in completed non show rods 05.09.24. I had forgotten about metal construction kits until I saw this! I remember building lots of them as a kid now that I see yours... of course they were USA made back then in the 60's! |

In bound as we speak a 1/35 scale kit, if that's what it's called! I saw it on Suyata's site and was taken by how different it looked!  |

Definitely different! Looks like someone took the Tamiya box and photoshopped their info and pic over it? Will be interesting to see if you actually get it...

I havent been building in a while , but this has been sort of a grail for me since I made an absolute mess of the reissue of this kit ( 27 T ) as a kid . I saw this original on Ebay, and was soon sent an offer I couldn't refuse ! Looking at the instructions, the kit looked to be missing one small exhaust coupler, but looking online at other Cinderbugs contents , it seems to not exist anyway.   |

I remember watching for one of these for a long time but finally gave up , now you've renewed my interest ! |

Good score on the Cinder Bug, Don. I've been waiting to find one at a reasonable price that's not a glue bomb.
My wait at least got me that Fire Bug I restored.
On a different show rod topic, this kit showed up on my doorstep on Monday:
Complete, with only the body brush painted.
I don't see one in the Gallery, so I hope to eventually do it qualification justice.

I don't think I've ever seen one of these built - I'm sure it will be gallery worthy ! |

I've been looking for one of these for years to finish up the original trio of Corvair powered rods , and pretty much gave up hope after seeing what they've been selling for until last week when this one popped up on Ebay, missing one piece, for $199.00 or make offer - long story short, I offered, and won the kit for $55 shipped ! Needless to say I'm very happy to finally get it, and thankfully Todd (Count Dragula ) had the missing piece ! To me, Christmas came early this year . So never give up, you never know when a great deal falls into your hands
