Hey all!

I've seen some nice 1:32 scale kits from ARAI at a webshop.
The price is very good (hey, I'm dutch!) but I wonder what the quality of these kits is. Does somebody now if they are any good?

Paul

It's a curb side model.
Not really bad. Some came with decent interiors, others didn't contain decent interiors. I don't recall if they contained chromed parts or not, been a few years since I've seen them sold over here.
I saw a few I'd be interested in ordering... :-)

Thanks for the answer Dave.
I never heard of the kits before, so it's good to read they are not so bad.




I'm planning to order some for myself from the dutch webshop. I did not see them anywere else, so just PM me if you are interested in some.

I'm just wondering if they ship over here to the states.

Those kits seem to be very interesting in general, and even useful for military dioramas. I imagine that those funny three wheelers would make great addition to any Vietnam diorama in urban or road setting.

Exactly the ones I had my eye on..... :-) :-)

If they don't, I do!

Well, I placed an order, now need to wait for reply as to if they are in stock, etc. Hopefully the fellows English is better than my Dutch.... I orders some of those goofy 3 wheelers..... :-) :-)

I got this same Gloria (but not the police version) from Hong Kong for around $5. They are nice basic kits and would go very well with dios. Only 2 problems are.. they're not always available and they have right hand steering.. so you would have to do some conversion if you want to use them in an Iraq dio for instance. Did Vietnam have right or left hand steering?? But like I said, they are excellent kits for the price. I Just wish they were more readily available.
