multiple kits


Recommended Posts

I had four Johan Ambulances and three Johan Hearses. I parted with two Ambulances and a Hearse recently to bring it to a pair of each.

I have about ten pairs and no more than two of any kit(that is identical kits)...namely..

Dukes Charger

Revell 66 Impala

AMT 61,62,64,67,70 Impala

Revell 07 Mustang

Johan Boss Man Cadillac

Johan 66 Coupe De Ville

Johan 69 Coupe De Vile

Johan 68 Eldorado

Johan 70 Eldorado

Johan Hearse

Johan Ambulance

Revell Shelby GT 350

Revell Bullit 08 Mustang

Revell 55 Ford Harley Panel Van

Amt 76 Caprice

After seeing the thread about the widow who kept up her husbands model room and noticing that he had 7-8,10 of the same kit got me curious as to who else has multiple multiples !

So does any one have 10 of a kit?

And what kits can you not get enough of?

Or are you like me and two is the magic number?

Or is your number 3,4,5!

Plus I like to see what kits you guys are into. Seems I like the Caddys and Impalas.

I cant get enough 4doors and station wagons of the 60s body styles...also love the late 60s Cadillacs,Pontiacs,Chryslers and others.

5 AMT 65 Chevelle wagons.

2 Johan 68 Plymouth 4doors.

2 AMT 70 Ford 4doors.

2 Model King Open road campers.

2 Lindberg Dodge L-700 semi trucks.

2 AMT John Deere tractors tucked away on a shelf.

I like the muscle cars too but have always favored the big luxury and family cars. B)

These 4 doors are hard to come by,so I guess you have to snap them up when you can. 4 wagons-nice B)

Greg, this is interesting and really shows how diverse members are with not only their interests in building subjects, but how some of the same kit can be built different ways. Here are some of my multiples and some of the ideas I have for them.

2 complete (and another one on it's way in a trade :lol: ) Revell Midnight Cowboy Custom Wreckers, plus parts from at least 3 other kits; all but the one factory sealed kit will be built into a more modern wrecker, the factory sealed is still sealed so I don't rob parts so I can at least build one as it should be B)

5 AMT 1970 Dodge Coronet Super Bee Pro Streets; great kit to rob Hemis and tires from

3 AMT 2006 Chevy Camaro Concepts; 1 will be built as the original concept car, 1 will be the convertible concept, and the last will be built as Bumblebee from the first Transformers movie.

Those are just a few from the top of my head, with the execption of some Dale Earnhardt NASCARs. I have many multiples of different versions of his cars, too, mainly to use as donors for aftermarket decals to build different cars Dale drove.

I don't have doubles unless there are junkers involved. Example: I have 3 USA-1 trucks but only one is sealed the other 2 are restore projects. I have a few like that. I plan on getting doubles and more of my favorites but I am in a rebuild stage of getting back into the hobby. Now my favorite car in kit form (1975 Road Runner by MPC) I'll buy as many as I can within reasonable price.

I think its normal to have multiples cause like Matt and Mark mention,you may only have one kit option but have numerous model possibilities.

Jim,I'm not saying your not normal ;) I'm sure theres a lot of guys/gals here who want to do one of a particular subject and move on to another.

I'm a little surprised the kustom guys don't have a boat load of one or two kits or we just haven't heard from them yet.

So how many of you guys that have multiples, forgot you had them and bought more!! I have done that with a few.

Good, so I'm not the only one with a short memory! :lol: I've done that with a few, I even got one as a Christmas present that I forgot I had! :lol: My mother in law got an AMT 2005 Chrysler 300 for me and I was excited to get it. I looked it all over and put it on the shelf Christmas night, and a few days later decided I'd work on it. Well, I pulled the one I'd already started off the shelf instead, and thought how in the heck did this thing get painted, I just got it for Christmas! Then it dawned on me when I looked on the shelf and seen the other one sitting there. No wonder I liked it so much when I opened it Christmas morning, some big dummy had already started working on it months before! :lol:
