Doug Bowen Posted October 18, 2013 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragcarz Posted October 18, 2013 Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Smith Posted October 18, 2013 Share 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 Share 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." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKerry Posted October 18, 2013 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan 191 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 They almost look like 1:1 barn finds! You just need to add 1/24 scale pigeon droppings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Bowen Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share 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.

PappyD340 Posted October 19, 2013 Share 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!!
