Vintage 1/12 body ABC Hobby

Quote

Post by Stibing » Wed Feb 24, 2016 5:03 am

Hi,

I just bought a NIB ABC Hobby kit of a 1/12 car, and in it it was a body marked with Jaguar 44P on the right side.

I cannot find any information that ABC Hobby made this body, but since it was included in the kit i wonder if this is an original body?

Anyone that has any infomation regarding the maker of this body?

Thanks!

Peter

I was looking at their website the other day and fell in love with this body:

Problem is, I don't really know anything about their quality. Be it forming, decals, or fit of the multiple lexan parts. Anybody here had any experience with them? I...

I don't know how much interest there would be but how about a thread for hobby shop memorabilia? We have vintage catalogs, vintage manufacturers ads, vintage magazines seems hobby shops would fit in there. The reason I mention this is that I found a...

Hello

I will be in Japan in August and will spend a week in Tokyo. I'm wondering if a member here knows the area and could suggest a good store for me to visit... I'd also be happy to find one where I could look for vintage stuff, especially AYK,...

Last post

I would imagine that many of those vintage parts in those shops have been bought and resold on EBay. I've almost singlehanded cleared every shop in my area out of vintage parts
