"Holy Grail" model kits

[McColm]

Hasegawa 1/72 'Emily' flying boat. I have the one with the rivets, whereas the new release model is better detailed minus the rivets.
The price of the 1950's kit is about £40-50 and the new one is £60 and upwards.

Good luck on your hunt!! I did me a quick search in my local area eBay and not a one. Found a sheet of them, but no Indian and no pokey thing. Found some in 1/48 but, wrong scale. 

Sorry, I should have said that I managed to source this set of decals which should arrive by the weekend. I already have the 1/48 set for the Kinetic two seater Harrier.

Now if anyone did a decent 1/72 set of decals for the Royal Tai Navy in 1/72.........

Well then, that's a win in my book!

Well, it's not for a Thai Harrier, but there's an A-7K Corsair two-seater decal sheet from Xtradecal (#72090) which comes with a grey/white Thai Navy machine and respective markings (incl. small roundels).

Thanks Thorvic though since I just had to pay for new glasses and for my kittens injections that ain't happening this month!

Anybody know if there is a 1/72nd YF-23 available for anywhere near a reasonable price? I've seen one for around 80 bucks and that aint happening. I intend to extend the fuselage an inch or less to make a photo recon bird. Think of an SR-71 replacement. I know there is the Testors partly built and painted one but I don't think that will do. My searches so far reveal that this kit is as scarce as hen's teeth. Any leads will be greatly appreciated.

I'll check the stash - if I have 2 I might be agreeable to parting with one

[kerick]

Sounds good! Postage from the UK to US might be interesting. We'll work it out.

The only super-rare kit I keep an eye out for is the Beatles Yellow Submarine model.

If I ever get one, it's going in full Das Boot mode, with a battered grey colour scheme, kill markings, a shattered and shell-shocked crew and a grimly blood-spattered back story. How else do you whiff a peace-and-love machine?

The AMT one?

They have been re-popped recently.  Two versions were released, one in a limited edition tin and one in a traditional box.
Lots available on Evil-Bay from the US.

Last time it was out was 2012 according to Scalemates, and you hardly ever see them for sale on these shores: I think they all went straight into obsessive Beatles collector's stashes unopened. The problem with the US ones is the postage.

[zenrat]

Scalemates isn't necessarily updated in real time.  Especially for non aircraft kits.

:-\Bad news - I only have 1 in the stash

[TheChronicOne]

It might not help much but the one that was for $80 has gone down to $60 (w/ free shipping).  Still pricey but perhaps within range now?
