I thought I would share these... 1968 - still has the tube of glue! Cheers, Rockie As a kid in S. Florida in 1969, I remember seeing ads for that kit. Didn't it retail for around $10?

LSP_Ron Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I didn't realize that B-52 kit was 52 years old. Wow, it was ahead of it's time. kalashnikov-47 and Rockie Yarwood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was $15. I remember seeing it at a Montgomery Wards store in Spokane and asking for it for Christmas. I was told it was too expensive (and it was). Then a package about the right size showed up under the tree, and I was really excited until the folks told me it was a tea set for the girl next door. Finally, Christmas morning came, and sure enough it was no tea set! My brothers had pitched in to buy it for me. The model hung on my bedroom ceiling for a couple of years. I purchased the kit you see in the picture about 20 years ago (for a lot more than the original price, but worth it for the great memories it brings back me). scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really was, but then a lot of those early Monogram kits were pretty accurate, and still build up into nice models today. scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I think my oldest is a bagged kit of the old Aurora C-141 Yea, still going to build it one day. Behind that might be the Testors C-5. I already built the Otaki boxing of it years back when I got back into building models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
