Price lists?

I ain't a COLLECTOR! The only kits I have in unopened boxes are the ones I haven't built YET! (Uh, and I have a surprisingly large number of kits in opened boxes that I also haven't built yet.)

the only way it stays sealed is if it came in a lot and i know i won't build it. like all modern fighters....yuck.

Guys, guys - this is a family newsgroup. You're gonna start throwin' around terms like "collector" and "won't build" and "still shrink wrapped", I'm gonna have to report you to the Internet Police... I mean, really, I expect this kind of filth in the alt.binaries groups (and sometimes in the microsoft groups), but not here... :-)

"Microsoft" and "still shrink wrapped", there's some kind of joke in there about that being the only way it's valuable.

Ummm... sounds like my stash, actually... :)

Mine too. I think there might be one box that's still shrink wrapped and that's because it's a duplicate. The other is opened.

i taught my spyware sniffer to flip redmond the bird.

I have maybe 1500-2000 in the garage, maybe 15-20 (hmmm, percentages) in the works in the office.

AND I'M GOING TO BUILD ALL OF THEM!!!

There is something nice about buying an OOP rare kit and building it

Vickers Welsley, AW Whitley both rare, both built recently

They are as bad as model railway collectors who leave everything in boxes and never run them.

I run limited edition stuff - it is why I bought it!

and i'll be elected god the day after... (i have about 200 kits, yes, an amatuer, and i wonder how many i'll finish. the more i learn, the longer a kit takes to do right.)

Yes, I could see that. Since I bought them years ago and they still wouldn't bring much on the market; wish there were some aftermarket choices for the Whitley (besides the ESCI sheet.) Cheers,

I have to agree that there's a certain pleasure that comes from building a 'collectable' kit. Usually this relates to the limited alternatives for the subject--it will be the collectable kit or scratch-building. I've got a Contrail Fairey Spearfish that meets the criteria--interesting subject, no other way to get there, and it sure will look different on the table at a contest. Consequently, it's relatively high on my queue of models to build.

I guess this makes 3 of us,although mine is showing it's age.But try finding a replacement...

On this fall and winter's list for building (hopefully!) Revell XSL-01 (new NASA decals and a more detailed launch facility) Revell Space Station (done in pretty much the same color scheme as Skylab) Hawk MOL (from the box with mid-60s NASA color scheme) Glencoe Convair Space Station (from the box with mid-60s NASA color scheme)

But first, the Lindberg (actually Peguso Stinson Stationwagon) and an Aurora Aero Commander (painted in colors of a friend's aircraft, and hopefully an interior and landing gear added)

I'm getting tired of looking at the boxes!

One of my "projects" is a Reducta Nord 262, a very rare desk top model from France.

Every time I work on it I get a feeling of "all's right wth the world". :-)

Try Ebay UK

Email first - most are happy to ship to US if you do PAYPAL and cover the charges

There is also a lot of pleasure from running a collector model loco thinking of all the saddo collectors going bonkers at the thought.

If it wasn't to be run why do they put nice 5 pole can motors in?
