Guest keio6000 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 There have been a fair number of Keio 8000 greenmax built kits coming up on ebay recently that haven't fetched particularly high prices. Makes me think that there's a possibility that rumours of MicroAce reviving their cancelled Keio 8000 might be in the pipeline. At any rate, because my 8000 collection is only a single 4-car set, i won an auction for a 10-car 8000 set that, again, went for far less than the kit itself goes for. part of the reason i won it cheap is that the photos were very poor, which makes the quality that i will receive a bit of a crapshoot. The listing for the set said it was an "18-car" keio 8000 set. Actually, it appears to be a 10-car keio 8000 set and the following mystery train. Tokyu something or other.. but what? note the very low position of the stripe. any ideas? thanks! Link to comment
Guest keio6000 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) update: tokyu 8000 perhaps? and if so, does this mean it has the 'darth maul' / kabuki face? i'd be quite happy if this was the case.. but not clear to me if GM ever made a pre-colored kit in this livery (if not, the finish is not likely to be good) (also: check out the cool dude with his head out the window - probably was a bit early and thought it was in indonesia already ha ha :) Edited April 2, 2016 by keio6000 Link to comment
Socimi Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Your guess seems to be correct. It closely looks like the 8000 in Kabuki colors. Link to comment
