Thanks Raf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Some interesting kits. The RoJ Beau is nice, and sealed? The Shep Paine tip sheet is cool. I have also an original Charles W. Morgan whaling ship, boxart by John Steele. LSP_K2 and BloorwestSiR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Id say most definitely its my original issue/non-re-release of Monograms 1/41 scale Cessna 180 on floats, circa 1957: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Man I just packed up several kits last weekend. The Monogram F3F. What year did that come out? I packed up an original issue BoB Spitfire. 1969? That was to be one of my favorite box tops ever. If I haven’t packed up my Nitto Willow, I’ll get a picture for us. That kit mentions 1973 on it.

Just got the re-released version of that, still a pretty decent kit, if a bit clunky on certain details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Schwinn Stingray has already been re-issued, but I believe that's been available for a while now, and is a kit that I absolutely will have. I had tons of fun on my own Stingray when I was just a kid. rafju and Troy Molitor 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 A Schwinn Stingray? Really? Wow. That’s a flash back. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a really old kit, but quite excellent as far as I recall, as was the 10 speed Continental, which I also owned as a kid, kit and the real bike. I rode many a mile on that old Schwinn, I can tell you that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanKB Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I came to the hobby late. The model that's been in my stash the longest is the first model I bought - Tamiya's 1/32 Mk.IX Spitfire. My poor little naive self thought all 1/32 kits would be as good as that one... Actual oldest kit must be Hasegawa's 1/32 Boeing F4B-4 & Curtis BF2C-1, Hales P-26A Peashooter, & Minicraft/Hasegawa Boeing P-12E. Lovely interwar subjects, before they became trendy. Also, Hasegawa's Fi-156C Storch & Me-163B Komet, Minicraft/Hasegawa Me 262A-1, and Hasegawa's Ki-43 Oscar are all ancient. And Hasegawa's old Fw190D-9 "the Fall of the Reich". Revell's Hawker Hurricane looks ancient, but the oldest looking kit must be Scratchbuilders J7W1 Shinden - 20th century resin, has not aged well. Revell's old Matchbox reboxing of the Westland Lysander looks very dated. Pretty much everything else I have is 21st century manufactured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_C Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Well . . . I have an Airfix 1/32 DAK multipose set, which must date to 1975, or so. I also have Monogram's 1/32 Panzerspahwagen, circa 1974, and a nice little 1/32 Airfix Crusader Mk. III, but I'm not sure if it's original or a reissue. I also have a bunch of the Airfix 54mm Napoleonic (1970s era), and even some original Historex of same. In fact, I think one of those dates to 1970. And come to think of it, I also have a Merit/Monogram 54mm DAK figure from 1969, I believe. I could go on . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Airfix 1/72 Lancaster from it looks like 1973 according to the box art. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
