Aarzee Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Thought this would be interesting to see what everyones most prized kit was either unbuilt or built.Like the guy who has that Hemi Cuda or 1969 Z/28 in his garage , For me probably would have to say my 1:48 Hasegawa F-18C with wing fold still sealed or my 1:48 Pro Modeler F-15E Sealed. For Decals VF Decals VF-103 Tomcats for sure ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trevor Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I've got lots of interesting kits, and even more that interest me because of the subject I'm going to build them as. As for my 'treasures', I think it would be my 1/48th scale Bleriot XIs. One of which is in the box released for "Those Magnificent Men and Their Flying Machines." Paid $15 USD for it. It special because I'm going to build one of them as the Bleriot XI replica my grandfather financed back in 1952/53. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Les / Creative Edge Photo Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Currently waiting to be built. Probably my Hasegawa 1:48 scale Tigermeet CF-104. For scale cars my Revell 1:25 scale Dodge Viper SRT Coupe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
farmerboy Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I guess my prize is the 2 Bilek F-6's (Mig 19s) that I have in 1/72, I love the Farmers -hence my screen name and it took me years to finally get these great little kits, had to get them from Hannants, and they are no longer available there. 1 to build and 1 to save!

Cloggy Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I think my prize kit in the stash is the Hasegawa 1/48 F-15DJ JASDF 50th Anniversary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vesper Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 A Highplanes CHeetah C , 3 monogram F-19s & a Anigrand A-12. I did consider my Esci Backfires prized, until Italeri rereleased them. Ves Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Probably the two Trimaster 1/48 kits I have, one a Fw 190D-9 and the other a Fw 190D-12. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Two Mikes Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 well I have 3 Heller 1/48 Mirage 2000Ns and two Airfix Mirage 2000Bs as well as a host of 1/48 Mirage F.1s and Saab Viggens. To be honest though my most prized are my Hasegawa 1/48 F-15s (all 30 of them) as I am trying to collect at least one of each and every boxing ever made. I just got the "Best Guy" (Japanese Top Gun movie) kit which to me is the hardest to find. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ro-Gar Hobbies Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 The kit that I prize in my stash is the 1/48 Revell Westland Wessex. At this point as it so hard to get, I am even scare to try to build it for fear that I will screw it up. But guess one day I will have to bite the bullet and build it.

Jay Chladek Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I probably have three choices (out of MANY candidates): For a vintage kit I will probably never build, most prized goes to a Comet 1/125 scale Boeing 707 Stratotanker kit. It is really a pretty accurate representation of the Boeing Dash 80 in its early configuration. I bought it from the collection of a late friend. For space nostalgia, I have an original first box issue of the Monogram 1/144 Saturn V moon rocket kit. This is the nice early 1970s packaging (might even be 1969 copyright) with the white border and bold colored lettering on the box. You don't see packaging like this anymore. For one that I plan to build, it would have to go to one of a pair of Monogram 1/72 Space Shuttles with boosters sets that I have. I've done some preliminary work on one, but usually pack it away as I know it can be a long slog. But, I may have the opportunity to build one here pretty soon as the local museum is going to be doing a display related to local boy and NASA astronaut Clayton Anderson who is on the ISS right now. I've volunteered to build a model for the display and one of the possibilities is a 1/72 shuttle stack of Atlantis from STS-117 (complete with repaired hail dings on the external tank). I hope they chose the 1/72 shuttle personally as I know I can make it a BIG eye catching piece sure to wow museum goers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TF51GREGWISE Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 ---given--- to me by my dear friend Jim Collins aka Liberator24. :blink: that's right ! its a 1/32 Tamiya Phantom :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Old Blind Dog Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Some of the old Jo-Han car kits I've collected (and plan to build) would be among my most prized; these include the '64 Chrysler Turbine Car, the '34 and '35 Mercedes-Benz kits and the '31 Cadillac Town Car. Also; the Pyro 1/32 '52 Chevy Custom Wagon (currently in progress), '30 Model A Woody and '37 Chevy Coupe kits. All fairly rare kits nowadays. Don't really have too many "rare" aircraft kits. I have a great deal of nostalgic fondness for the Monogram 1/72 P-36 (2 copies) and F8F Bearcat (just finished one, have several unbuilt) but nothing you could really call a collector's item. :blink: Old Blind Dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
