1/24 Scale Models of BA Astina Hatch & Hardtop

[mrpayner]

Hey fellas..

Discovered this tonight.. 1/24 "Tanomi" Scale models of both BA Astina shapes..

Astina Hatch (http://www.tanomi.com/shop/jyuchu/items00931.html)

Astina Hardtop (http://www.tanomi.com/shop/jyuchu/items00942.html)

I used the XE Universal Currency Converter (http://www.xe.com/ucc/) to convert the 16,800YEN required to buy these little delights.. but at a supposed $213AUS I might be waiting for the exchange rate to pick up a little before I buy.. There looks to be a limited run of 200 per model.

Going from pictures on other websites they are fully buildable.. by this I mean that all components are able to be painted seperately. If only they were a little cheaper you'd be able to make it "fully sick" with awesome paint job :D

Just thought I'd throw this up seeing as we've only been able to source the Super Deformed versions of them for the moment.. I might consider getting 1 of each model in the new year..

If anyone would like one, please express your interest here..

if you are make that two!!! I will buy one! noble green or sparkle green please! I can organise money for you :)

[mrpayner]

noble green or sparkle green please!

Opps.. forgot to mention that they're similar to the super deformed resin toys in that you have to paint them yourself :lol:

I also just emailled them about the "availability" of these models.. awaiting reply.

They look good, I may be interested in the new year did it mention how detailed they were?

[Dogo]

i remember seeing these on the web abt a year ago. But couldnt find anywhere that could order one in for me.

at that price ... i dunno. maybe !

[pr1mo]

maybe you could enquire about a group disount however it may get lost in the translation!

cheers mike

i want two! and i'm completely serious

[mrpayner]

Well.. I'm still awaiting reply.. I have a sneaking suspicion that they have closed down already for the christmas break.. or they can't read english. :roll:

If i don't hear anything soon i'll send another email..

Actually ... If anyone on these forums can read Japanese and translate it for us that would be greatly appreciated..
