BlrwestSiR Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Nice! I wish they were still that cheap in Canada. Then again, I just checked and still have 4 in the stash. So I guess I'm good for now. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Unbelievable……..cheapest over here around £110.00 around $136……. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Best price I can find in Canada is $149 CAD which is about $110 USD with free shipping. When I bought most of mine, they were around $80-90 CAD with some even cheaper than that. Probably why I've bought in total 13 of them with 4 left in the stash. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 There's a XIVe conversion coming soon for the Tamiya Spitfire kits. They're starting with the XVI kit to make a low back XIV Spitfire. So that could be a good reason to get some more donor kits. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANicoll Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 John, Where are you finding the Spits for $99? I'm on TamiyaUSA and SB sites, the IXc is $155. Did I miss a quick sale? I see it on Ebay for about $99 total. Chris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Chris, Here's the VIII https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/132-aircraft/supermarine-spitfire-mkviii/ And this is for the XVI https://www.tamiyausa.com/shop/132-aircraft/supermarine-spitfire-mkxvie/ Looks like the IX isn't part of the sale.

Peterpools Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Thanks John I'm also now a $107 poorer (have to pay tax). Just bought the MKVIII. I still have a MkXVI in the stash. Best price I found from my normal online vendors: $136, plus tax plus shipping. Tamiya sales are always a good deal. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiya sales are always a good deal. They certainly are good. I picked up a couple RC truggies a few years ago for $99 each. The regular price was $799 each. That was an awesome deal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Dang it! Just got me too. Don’t have a spit in the stash and at this price I’d be a damned fool not to order one. Mk.VIII on the way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Yea, I’ve been watching these deal for a couple of days and last night finally told myself I was a big moron if I didn’t do it. Thinking back, I might have an old Revell kit in the stash. Might be a good learning kit for my grandson one day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiya USA puts a couple of 1/32 kits on sale like this from time to time. I picked up a couple of Mustangs a couple of years ago so I would doubt they are liquidating as opposed to selling off some of the slow movers. I guess you could call that a form of liquidating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Tamiya never do this, this side of the pond. In fact they haven’t a Tamiya UK site, which I can find………. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
