doyler Posted September 25, 2021 Share #4 Posted September 25, 2021 I still have several I built as a kid. Nothing of the class of work posted here. Many survived ok over the years. I built mostly Monogram kits as thats what was most common where my dad took me. Built straight from the box and painted. There was a old guy with a pretty good hobby shop but he and the other closed. The one here in town didnt have much. We have a small dime store yet. The guy has a good selection as he huilds a little but prices are to the point I dont see me getting back into building. I have a few in boxes yet I never got to. I liked the Tamiya kits as well back then. Did a couple pieces of Armor and some figures. Mostly german. The Kmart in the area had a good selection as well as Target.

Escht Posted March 21, 2022 Share #13 Posted March 21, 2022 Whenever I see an old wooden model aircraft I buy it. Most times I'll maybe find half a dozen a year. Last weekend I went along to a local toy fair and walking down the lines of tables I just happened to be in the right place at exactly the right time. Guy started pulling tray after tray of old wooden models out of the back of his car. About 20 are complete, rest have missing props or other very minor damage. There was even a plastic bag of broken off bits and pieces to go with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Escht Posted November 16, 2022 Share #15 Posted November 16, 2022 Many years ago a guy called Peter Farrar had a huge collection of aircraft models running into at least a couple of thousand examples. He used to tour the UK airshows run on RAF bases and the RAF provided road and air transport to get the collection to where it was needed. In the early days many of the models were solid wood ex aircraft recognition models painted to represent known examples from various Squadrons. Later as they became available he used plastic kit models but always painted up to represent a specific unit. His models are easily recognisable by the quality of the work and the home made storage/shipping boxes that he used . Here are a few examples that I found over the last 3 months. The collection was broken up many years ago after Peter passed away in 1995 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud Kraut Posted November 16, 2022 Share #16 Posted November 16, 2022 Some very nice models, well packed and labeled, thanks for sharing! Would love to discuss some of the non-U.S. models at our sister forum, the World Militaria Forum. https://www.worldmilitariaforum.com Would be great if you could post the non-U.S. planes over there again.
