Doug Bowen Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 At 5:00 AM I was rummaging around in the basement thinking that I USED to have some old models from my youth lost in the darkness of some box. Look what I found !! Now I have to start stripping old paint, I guess. Inspired by you folks...I will proceed! D
dragcarz Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Great find..... You don't really want to keep those falcons do you? I have an address you can send them to!
Erik Smith Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Great find..... You don't really want to keep those falcons do you? I have an address you can send them to! Hey, that was my first thought. The '64 looks like it's in good condition too. The '65 or '66 (not a Falcon guy) looks like it might have seen a few table top races.
High octane Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Great find! I myself would just dust them off and display them the way they are, and show others "the way it was."
DrKerry Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I agree with Nick, I'd keep them as they are and keep them as survivors of your youth. I have my very first ever glue together kit, looks pretty bad but it's a reminder to me of what I used to do.
Jordan 191 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 They almost look like 1:1 barn finds! You just need to add 1/24 scale pigeon droppings.
geemoney Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 gr8 find! the third gen falcon is interesting as I have NEVER seen a model of one! my father has a basement...... I do not like goin down there!
mustang1989 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Cool! What an opportunity. I wished I had half of what I built as a kid.

Doug Bowen Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 Yeah...it really took me back. I actually have a picture of my buddy holding the copper Cobra looking at the engine bay when we were about 13 years old. I had HAIR in those days. And my waist size was the same as my inseam! Hard to remember. I don't really consider them to have "survived" in their current state. Gonna have to re-build at some point. Glad you all got a kick out of them. D
PappyD340 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 NICE find Douglas, and I imagine there are quite a few of us on here that can claim the same thing when it comes to hair and waist size or at least I can anyway I'm sure you'll figure out what you need to do to them, Thanks for sharing!!
