I want to kitbash some 1/35 vehicles. Looking for cheap or even incomplete kits.

Thanks

My first stop would be to look at what's on sale at Squadron.

I have some that I had acquired with Orkifying them in mind…

Some of the older trumpeter kits can be had for around $20 USD/shot.

Take a look at eBay. Tons of 1/35 stuff goes unsold or for very low bids all the time. If you can score cheap shipping, it might be your best bet.

This is a relatively new subReddit:

You could try posting a "wants" ad. I'm sure there are guys who have partial builds and boxes of bits they'd part with cheaply. I sold some here on the Marketplace and when I found out he was kit bashing, I tossed in a bunch of stuff from my spares box!

Hey Skeptic send me an email, babcock3036 at roadrunner dot com please let me know what you have and what you want in return, money or trade. That's what I'm going to use them for.

Thanks

Brian


Thanks, I'll check those others too….

I have a couple kits I may never paint. What are you looking for and what do you have to trade?

Search under "1/35, lot" on the various eBay models pages (Military, Land, Tanks) and you'll find much kitbashing and/or partially built stuff going for big savings.
