These three are quickly nearing the... "to be built" process.

The last post reminded me that I have the cab section from the Outhouse kicking around in a spares box that I need to do something with. I have an old Model A Ford that has seen better days also kicking around in a box that I just might use to graft the two together in a kit bash of sorts.

First are some of my promos then my hard to find kits. the Javelin and Torino promos I bare Metal foiled those no paint just polished the plastic. I have alot more older kits from the 60's that I have got over the years that are rebuilders.

I boughttha Nitro Charger when I was a teen and was so disappointed with the ridiculous body that I threw it away and used the chassis for something else.

The Renwall Revivals Virgil Exner designed Bugatti. 1/25th scale.

If anyone has an old made up one even with parts missing tucked away in a shoebox somewhere that I could restore/renovate I would like to hear from you. I would like to do this and let the Bugatti Trust Museum here in the UK have it. Mint kits come up at ridiculous prices on EBay aimed at collectors I would guess, but I build, so that is why I am looking for an old built up kit. Even just the body would be enough for me to work on.

I had the Duesenberg revival kit when I was a teen. Thought it was cool.

I think this is pretty rare. I've never seen another one, so I built it.

It's a 1/43 scale Peugeot 403 'Tole' (Sedan Delivery) made in France by/for chocolate manufacturer Pupier.

Sorry for the off-the net images, but my stash and boxes are kinda hard to get to. My rarest one is the AMT "Diamond in the Rough" kit, even if you can pretty much buy most of it separately, except the dented-up Ford Tudor. Next it the Revell Germany Ferrari F-50; not a really sought after kit, but I've never seen them for sale. My Dad gave it to me when I was 15, and I still haven't finished it. And for built/to be repaired models, there's the AMT Snake Bite Monster Truck, Lindberg's GMC Sonoma High Rider, and Revell's Swamp Monster as mentioned in another post. Btw, I'm talking about my neck of the woods; I know you can find anything on Ebay, but around here, these kits are seldom seen.

Thought the topic was about kits you want.

I want a Yellowjacket.

But I have:

JoHan Petty Superbird

JoHan Torino stocker

JoHan Pinto F/C

JoHan Challenger F/C (Stevens issue)

IMC Little Red Wagon (but all the injector stacks rolled out of the little hole on the bottom of the box - I think)
