Takamota Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Been asked to build a model for a chap but not sure whether i should build it or not. This kit is an original run 1955 model in A+ condition. Even has the small rubber glue capsule!# Anyone know where i could check the value of the kit so i can let the guy know what he has?

82Whitey51 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I have no idea what it is "worth"...to the right person any object can be priceless... But, if the guy just wants a 1/72 model of a Sea Vixen and not that particular kit, then I'd pick up a nicer model and build that for him and keep that one for nostalgia sake if nothing else.

Grey Ghost 531 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I don't know what it's worth, but I'm amazed at how nice and un-yellowed the decals are! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's a real nice antique piece right there. Keep it! Having said that, I'd be interested to see how it would build up. "No sanding or shaping" hey? <_< Hmmm...

They're supposedly quite accurate in outline if not in detail. A build here with a link to another build. Steve. Edited May 1, 2015 by stevehnz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) It cant be worth that much seeing as though it is missing parts. Three gear doors are missing, or are they not in photo and just off the sprue? Also isn't that the prototype? The production model had a pointier nose?---John Edited May 1, 2015 by john53 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Up to that point the way you got a non flying a scale model was to carve and sand it out of wood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
