Buy a complete just for parts?

Post by Rider400 »

Do you guys buy REissues just for parts? Seems these little bits are hard to come by and sometimes they add up to the point Im considering buying a complete kit just to have it all available.

When Tamiya starts shipping retro kits again do parts usually follow?

Typically, ebay guys will buy and strip them. If the re-re's are released in decent quantities, parts will be all over ebay.

Any particular kit you're looking at? Just curious.
