For $400 I'll ship mine post paid in the US!! Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare or not, I've got quite a few WnW kits, all of which I purchased because I like the aircraft they represent, and intend to build all of them. The way I figure it, there will many opportunities to make more money, but possibly no more opportunities to acquire the WnW kits I have. I bought mine because they were interesting, and I COULD build them, but honestly don't see me building THREE from the GTT... Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I do build mine, my plan atm is to build them all at once in an assembly line type of build. Kagemusha and CANicoll 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) Yup, Many years ago I sold off 60% of my stash to raise a few bucks and to trim the fat so to speak. About 3-4 years later when I got back into the hobby I ended up buying back most of the stuff I sold off at a higher price than when I sold it. I have a fair amount of WnW kits, probably enough to make 3-4 house payments in ebay prices but I too bought them to build not an investment. I've seen too many collectors loose there butts because of a reissue. Remember the atomic cannon from renwall?

That is EXACTLY the way to do it!. I've done that with Eduard Spits, but that was 1/72nd scale so a TOTALLY different level of effort and complexity!

phasephantomphixer Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Well my latest Scurry-Hurry WNW purchases took fundage from the Supercharger fund for my Chevelle, but am gathering enuf back again to pull the trigger. The set I have eye on includes full serpentine setup of the charger, high end power steering pump (good since I am switching to hydroboost brakes too), A/C pump, high output alternator with all bracket assy. Instead of a flowthrough carb, installing the MSD Atomic fuel injection system (502 since a gen 6 already requires electric pump) which has full digital control. And while at it with other hobby, going to be selling this other green machine i've had about 9 yrs.

Restoring/maintaining a 928 isn't a labor of love, its a labor of money and finding impossible to find parts.

Leaning_Dog Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 This is the only car I've ever owned that I seriously regret selling. A 1966 Jaguar Series 1 E-Type. The mechanicals were perfect - the owner before me had completely rebuilt/balanced the motor, new clutch, and rebuilt the transmission. 4.2 liter straight 6 with triple SU carbs and full syncho 4-speed gear box. The body was sound, with a nice patina although the color left a bit to be desired. It was a thrill to drive, but as SUV's on the road got bigger, it was just too scary driving a car that small, and that fast, on crowded public roads. I sold it in 1999, and every once in a while I think about getting another one... in the same condition today it would only cost 75 Wingnut Wings Felixstowe F.2a kits at current EBAY prices...

LSP_K2 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I had a pal many years ago that restored old Morgans. Pretty slick little cars those were too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
