Four 1/72 Ace kits over £90 in bids

[nickoftime45]

I actually don't mind Ace kits especially the later ones, some of the earlier ones, well they are a challenge cough cough splutter....., but they do some interesting subjects. However, to see these four Sagaie / Lynx AC, plus a superfluous Leclerc, achieving over £90 so far, I find a bit of a surprise, admittedly there are so few options, still, personally I would explore the resin market first rather than pay these prices for slow builds. Though I appreciate the model makers out there who might want them.

I think he sold three more plus an Irish Arm' Car M3 for £87 last week. This chap has sold quite a few lots and has done well, fair play to him. Check your lofts chaps

They do some hard to get subjects........I did pay well over the normal for a Pak 43 once, but in 1/72 they are the only ones....

For sure they can be a challenge to build.....

[laurence strong]

Yeah, they are a challenge.....but the end result is always worth it....in my book anyways......

I have got a lovely ADV (?) French resin kit, which was cheaper than what these have gone for. Quite extensive service so certainly worth having in your range, (maybe a few variants?). Air transportable as well, hence why its been in service since 1980-82 with the French and a few years earlier as an export model.

I do wonder who pays this much, not a criticism, as if you want it why not? But if its a modeller, they generally only want one or two and if its a gamer, I would be nagging Shaun for it

Very late reply, but I have a number of Ace French AT Guns. They were miserable to put together but as per Mark and Larry, they were all I could find in 1/72.
