Vintage Kits
Hello to everyone
This is my first post. Reading all the posts on Vintage kits, I decided to look through my stash of unbuilt kits to see what I might have. I found quite a few and included a couple of photos of a few of them. The include
Revell 1/32 ME 262
Matchbox 1/72 Walrus
Like Like 1/48 Hawker Fury and Gloster Gladiator
MPC 1/72 Avro Vulcan
I have other including an Aurora CF 100, box scale
Revell 1/32 Sopwith Camel and Lindberg Turbine Car
I hope to eventually build each one of these.But given the number of unbuilt kits in my stash,, will be a challenge.
Happy Modeling to all.
Awesome stuff, Mike!
Welcome aboard!
thanks
Keep that Vulcan kit in its unbuilt glory and get the new one to do a model from. I did the old one, and am doing the new one, and there is no comparison.
Thanks. When I do build it, my original plan was to re-scribe all the panel lines but looking at it, will leave it as is.
Those as great vintage kits, Mike @planefreek
Welcome to this great community.
Thanks
Welcome to iModeler, Mike, now get building.
they are on my list, i have probably over 500 kits in my stash. Makes deciding which one to build a little hard.
Welcome aboard Mike you'll enjoy this modeling site. Lots of helpful modelers reside here.
Thanks
Great to see those nice box arts. Welcome to iMod.
Those look like pretty nice examples.
I think those life like kits were later released by Lindberg.
Thanks
I do believe the Life Like kits were re-issued by Lindberg. I have built the Fury in the past, nice little kit went together well.
I’m a huge Jack Leynnwood fan, but his box art for Revell’s Me262B always left me puzzled; it’s supposed to be night, right?
J L's boxarts, IIRC, had very different colored skies. Aurora's too ,as a matter of fact.
Yellow skies and calm seas to ye!
Welcome aboard Mr. Sloan.
I've also got the Vulcan, someday...
Love it! The Me-262 takes me back to my grammar school days gawking at kits like that at my now long-gone local hobby shop. Pleasant memories indeed. Thanks for sharing!
