Nascar kits in UK

Post by Gatso75 »

Is it just me not looking in the right place, or are they as rare as rocking horse poo over here?
The only kits I seem to find are of cars from the 70s era. I know nascar isnt really a big thing in the UK but its so damned hard to find a stockist

You will probably have to import them from the US. Have you tried eBay?

The 80's and 90's era kits go for $5-$10 US here in the states unless its some special or rare or newer kit. There are only a couple of new kits out and I believe they are snap-tite.

That's pretty much all I see at the LHS, newer snappers. Seems strange that given how popular it is for much of the country that there aren't more kits. Maybe it's the licensing for all the sponsor stickers?
