Ever thought about your stash ( built or unbuilt makes no difference )  and took a good look at it?
 To ck the newest model it represents. (I'm not talking about the year  the kit was produced ) . Simply the year it represents or replicates.

 

I was down in the family room / stash area  this morning looking for something and it hit me. I think the newest one in mine is about 1974 or 75  and even its a slant nose Vega funnycar .

So whats that say about me,,,,,,,,I'm old . lol

You're old?

I'm pretty sure the newest model year I have right now is an old Monogram 1971 Plymouth Satellite kit!

I'm fairly certain the newest one I've ever owned was an AMT '72 Chevelle.

But there is "hope" for me.

I've been considering picking up a Johan '73 Cutlass! :D

I have a couple '67 GTX kits, a '77 Dodge truck, a 90s corvette...and everything else in my collection is older than '62. In fact, most of them are '30s to 50s.

When it comes to buying new kits, I like to get hot rod and classic kits with parts that will kitbash nicely with my existing stash, so that means I shy away from late-models.

Of all the kits that I have and that's lots I have two new challengers one unbuilt and the other built as the Larry griffiths drag car, a meng pickup and I'm pretty sure everything else is pre 1980 I guess I'm old too I just don't care for the newer cars.

Not sure what it might have to do with my age, but the newest model year car in my stash is a 2014 Corvette Snap Kit.  My interest tends to hover around 50s to early 70s and Hot Rods but anything is fair game in my 57 year-old world.  :)

Two-way tie: 2 '77 Cadillac Coupe deVilles (one coupe, one convertible conversion).

ETA: '92 Ford F-150 pickup promo. The '77 Caddies are still the latest year kits I've built for myself. I did build an '80s Tamiya Mercedes 500 SEC Lorinser once for a friend.

Can't say for sure. Pretty sure the latest I've actually built was a '99 Camaro I did for my kit, who owned one.

90% of my stash is '60s and early '70s cars. 90% of the other 10% would be rod-era cars, and '55-'57 Chevies.

Probably the Revell snap Corvette C6, 2014? I also have a Revell snapper of the F150 Raptor 2014?

Most everything else is 50's- early 80's, with some earlier hot rods thrown in.
