$35 is a little steep for that model which isn't a vintage kit. The ad says it has been "Kit is long out of production." However, I bought mine at an auto show 2 years ago for $10 which has a 2002 copyright date on it. $13 at OGTS sounds light a much better deal. They would be my first choice. If they are out, there is a listing for one at Skyway Model Shop -Domestic Company Cars and amt at $13. BTW, that kit is 31226.

I have a quick question.
Where are you guys seeing stuff at OGTS that I can't see? Is there a website other than the one that links from here? I have been told their website hasn't been updated in years. Don't know if that is accurate or not.

If they have the 1:25 model for that cheap, I'm going to buy one.

You can contact them and ask for their latest printed catalog. They also throw one in the box when you place an order. Finally, they occasionally announce supplements here on this forum such as the 2008 Parts Supplement and the holiday flier. BTW, I placed an order recently and got their AMT model for free per the holiday flier (although that offer may have only been good through December, 2008).

These kits are in their 3rd or 4th re-issue. Unless you get one of the earlier re-issues, the newer ones will not have the extra V6 motor and chrome pieces. Gil had AMT make a run with the extra stuff in them, but, you can tell Gil's as they have "Opel GT Source" stamped on the box. I have a complete case of the re-issue with the extras, and several of Gil's with the extras.
