What's wrong with Italy? I wouldn't hesitate, those kits seem to be rare by anybody's standard.

Holy cow, I had that Dr. Seuss Zoo Set. I had completely forgotten about it until seeing those pics!

I have the Disney Robin Hood kit. Picked it up for $1 at a hobby shop on closeout.....might even be worth that today!!!! There was another Robin Hood kit.....but can;t remember it right now.

My dad had the bachmann birds. I didn't know about air fix or the dr sues kits.

You know, I think I had some of those when I was in my pre-teens. I remember buying some of the individual kits at the local department store - I don't remember which ones. They were some of the first models I built, and I don't remember seeing them since. I really enjoyed them. Thanks for showing those!

I'm glade I was able to bring back some good memory's .

How about this kit,Its the Tokyo Tower from Japan.

In 1969 when my father in law was recovering from injurys from his short stay in Nam he bought this as a gift to his dad,I am hoping soon I can get this from him for my collection.

Its molded in clear plastic as well as Clear red plastic,white and black.

the top of the tower has a steel rod in it to give the apperence of a anttena aray.

Great to see those bird kits again. I did quite a few as a kid and was planning on becoming an ornithologist.

Then I got interested in "birds".

I still have a mint in the box Renault Floride.

Nick, that Tokyo tower would make a great Godzilla diorama accessory!

[Junkman]

That Tokyo Tower is ace!

Make no mistake re. the Disney Robin Hood kits. They go for hundreds on ebay. The other one is this one:

Thanks for posting the other Robin Hood kit.....I think I passed on it because it was just figures.....I like the coach in the other kit.

Bachmann also did a series of dog kits at the same time as the birds. Back in the day I built a Basset Hound and an Airedale.

Unfortunately I don't have photo's but way back around 1978 I built a lifesized flintlock rifle kit , no idea on the manufacturer but they did a range of rifles and pistols . The rifle I built was modeled on something used in Afghanistan from memory and was close to 6 foot long when built .
