A modeler named mike Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Desirable uncommon kits were becoming increasingly hard to snag until the pandemic and hard times hit causing some collections to be liquidated, sadly but respectfully I checked off about a dozen kits that was on my list, I always sent a heartfelt note to the individual selling their loved ones kits.
