Model car kits

If you are looking for a model car kit of your favorite car it will most likely be on Ebay. Of the almost 12,000 model car kits for sale on Ebay every day some are brand new and some are over 40 years old. There are some that have not been opened yet and some have already been assembled. Some models have been re-issued by the manufacturers several times which makes that particular kit easy to find.

 If the price has gone up during bidding the kit is probably rare. Check past auctions for the model you are looking for to see if there were multiple bidders and what the model sold for.

If you are looking for a Ford Thunderbird try searching for T-Bird also. If you are looking for a Cadillac try searching for a Caddy.

There are 3 materials that models are made of plastic, metal and resin. Some plastic dealer promotional models from the late 1950's to the early 1960's warped over the years and the material was changed to the non warping plastic that is still in use today. Resin models are made in small numbers by various makers and the quality varies. Resin kits require more skill to assemble than plastic or metal kits.Resin kits are made in simple molds and plastic kits are made in metal dies costing thousands of dollars to make. Die cast models are metal and sometimes are made in the same dies that plastic kits are made in.
