    Hi my fellow Fchat brothers,

    Sadly whilst moving house two of my 1/18 scale Kyosho cars (red 328 GTB and Daytona road car coupe ) were accidentally dropped by a friend and destroyed!

    To say I am p****d off is an understatement!

    Any one here have models to sell or leads on where to acquire such?

    I know these are scarce now,



    Tnanks,

    Grim

    I have no idea to be honest????


    On the 328 the side mirror, rear deck spoiler and one wheel were broken off and on the Daytona it was side mirror, exhaust pipes, front "Perspex" headlight covers and one rear bumper corner!

    Have you seen current Ebay asking prices for 1/18 Kyosho models? :eek:

    You need to take out a small mortgage to buy them now. :p

    They don't sound destroyed to me. I would suggest a local hobby shop or Hobby Lobby for some super glue, white glue (Elmer's glue) and 2 part epoxy glue. The epoxy will work fine on the wheel damage, the super glue is best for the mirrors and the white glue should be used to glue the glass parts back in.

    I am interested in the situation.
    I can help you - guide you step by step how to fix them yourself.
    I can fix them for you, if you don't want to deal with it.
    Or I would be interested getting them off your hands for my personal collection if you decide to reacquire them.
    Either way, PM me please.
