The Prize of your Stash


Recommended Posts

Hard to say which one is the prize of the stash, it's a toss up between the Testors 1/48th YF-12A, Monogram 1/72 Young Astronauts YB-52 W/X-15 under the wing, 1/48th Monogram Prototype F-18.....or maybe it's the Aurora AH-56 Cheyenne.....I cant decide....I'm going back to the model ROOM!!! :thumbsup::cheers:

For me it woud have to be these to two kits as I don't want to mess up both of them and I don't feel I'll do them justice yet just yet

1/32 Trumpeter A-10a

1/48 Eduard Royal Class Fw190A-8/R2

Probably have to say the Tamiya 1/50th (brilliant scale!) F1M 'Pete' floatplane I recently snagged on eBay (for a very reasonable price). I'm really looking forward to having a gap on the workbench (and the guts!) to have a go at it.

If it's most prized then i would have to go with:

FM Sci-Fi Models 1/24 ( i think)scale Viper from the new Battlestar Galactica with the Starbuck pilot figure. Apparently quite a limited run. They were also supposed to be doing the Mk7 Viper, but no word on that yet.

Also:

My Hasegawa 1/72 F-14A with Wolf Pack markings (K39)

My two Airfix 1/72 TSR2's (could be persuaded to part with one, looking for a Heller Alouette III in 1/48 - 1/50 or Classic Airframes Avro Anson #4122 :whistle: )

MPC Empire Strikes Back Snowspeeder and the original MPC X-Wing

Fujimi 1/72 F-4B with Jolly Rodgers markings ( G-11)

Heller 1/50 SA Gazelle 342 L

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 !

Eduard Storch - the one with no clothes on. It scares me just to look at the box :coolio:

Well mine ain't rare, but have to be my Tamiya F-4E Phantom 1/32, reason why this is the prize over things like the A-6E 1/48 and EA-6 is the fact that i saved a long time to get this, when it was at full price of £120 before tamiya cut there prices and to date the most expensive kit i have brought.. I have the Eduard Colour PE for it but i rather get a BB pit for it, but everywhere seems to be out, but as soon as i find one i might build up the courage to actually attempt it..

My most rare kit must be my Bandai 1/100 Macross II VF-2SS Valkyrie kit. I think I have 2...

Most prized is my big stuff; 1/32 scale Tamiya F-16 and F-15, Academy F/A-18D and Trumpeter 1/32 Flanker, 1/350 USS Nimitz and HMS Hood... Because they cost me my arms, legs and spleen.

as far as rare, i don't know how rare, but a 1/16th scale nichimo 68-69 shelby gt-500 that i have been putting off building for some time. i have a cobra 427 engine from the amt cobra kit to put in it since the kit engine is basically a big square block o'plastic. also gonna scratch the running gear.

but the one that i want to do up right is the academy 32nd f-18d. i have built the c model O.O.B., but with the "D" i have the B.B. cockpit, eduard placard set and external details, and i'm thinking about getting some seamless intakes. i want to really go out on that one. there's a thread on a build from the past here that i really would love to get the pics from. they are gone because of he age of the build i guess.
