Might have pick one up myself. I'd buy it from you, but I think the shipping would send the price up too much. Nice video and kit though.

@70judgeman Yea, you know, shipping cost has really ruined the whole trading and even selling market between hobbyists. Believe it or not, even parcel post would be like 7 or 8 bucks on this little box. But you have that awesome hobby shop there and Jordan says this one was just re-released. Chances are even a good price from me plus shipping would equal what they're selling it for.

tamiya models rock , I would take it for the right price

@TheRocketSilo You surprize me Andy. Didn't think of you a an Alfa guy. But I imagine you're like me and are fond of "all" cars. Hey, I hadn't realized this kit was just re-released. I was mainly offering it to friends because it was unavailable. 8 plugs Andy, I wanna keep it. Jordan says it's currently out for $32 so look for it. Being you though, if you really want mine, I'll do it. Let me know.

Awesome video, I have never owned a tamiya kit . The mold is the cleanest I've ever seen . I see a tamiya kit in the near future . Thanks for sharing!

Cool kit! I need to get me some of these different Tamiya kits. Alfa Romero's were always sweet cars.

@paisleyplastic I did notice Tamiya's list of 80's re-releases and it's a good chance to get a fresh copy for a good price. I want that 80's Supra. I have the '93, but this one is like '86. It has a different name in Japan.

@Toppervision1 Yeah...you're probably right about the price at the hobby store. I bought a model from Stoney last week and with the shipping it was almost $20. Shipping with USPS is getting to be almost as bad as UPS. A word of advice when shipping through USPS...use your own box. Those "if it fits, it ships" boxes are a rip-off. To ship in a model size box is over $10. The box is "free"....yeah right! If you use your own box, it's around $5-$8.

@Toppervision1 yeah tamiya has been doing alot of re-releases this year. they also just re-released the "80s masterpiece" collection, all the tamiya kits from the 80s and very early 90s; for good price too. like $23 average.

cool cant wait to see the T33, if you have any more euro cars feel free to do them, i never get tired of european cars. people need to build more of them.

[Toppervision1]

@paisleyplastic I do agree, the Italians can really make a beutiful car. Hey if you liked this one, wait till you see the review on the T33. You're going to want to be buckled into you're chair for that one.

On this Giulia, I'm glad to hear it's re-released. I thought for sure I was gonna lose this one to ya! lol. I grew quite fond of it when I saw it had 8 plugs.

Btw, show around the mini kit a bit more than usual and I won't have to review that one. hint hint.

@cwazmann1 Hey cwaz, Jordan is telling me they just re-released this one. So be on the look-out for one.
