Kit No. 58401

[macmeniac]

Who knows the Sauber Petronas C22 kit (58401)? I could buy one but don`t know the worth of a NIB one. Its a F201 4WD chassis. How much would you pay for it. The guy wants about 400 USD because its rare.

That sounds like way too much, IMHO. There's places where you can still get the F201 chassis-only kit for 1/4 of that price...

I’m not sure I would call a Dickie-Tamiya release for a proper Tamiya release. It’s been mentioned before here before that Dickie-Tamiya sometimes “make” their own Tamiya releases. It could be a Tamiya chassis with a body from Carson (http://www.carson-modelsport.com/de/news.htm) box art made by Dickie-Tamiya and then given a kit number that is currently not used by Tamiya.

According to Tamiya kit no.58401 is the Neo Falcon (http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=58401).

That’s my opinion based on what I’ve read here on TC and seen on Ebay. Of course it could still be collectible but be aware that Dickie-Tamiya has done this several times in Germany (and others part of Europe).
