Junkman Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) hmmm very interesting on the four motor motorcycle in italy...i will have to save a search and find one somewhere stateside hopefully... What's wrong with Italy? I wouldn't hesitate, those kits seem to be rare by anybody's standard. Edited April 24, 2012 by Junkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotrod59f100 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 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 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Notarangelo Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 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.

peekay Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 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". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make no mistake re. the Disney Robin Hood kits. They go for hundreds on ebay. The other one is this one: I still have a mint in the box Renault Floride. Trade?

mr moto Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sports850 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 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 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
