82notch Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 I went out to the garage to get the christmas tree box and started putzin around and came across a box i totally forgot about. I got these about 10-12 years ago and TOTALLY forgot them. Sorry i have no pics but heres the list Lindberg 63 Mustang concept AMT 62 Impala SS Conv. #8209 AMT Display case trailer #8216 Revell 70 AAR Cuda #7601 (which looks so much better then the new version out now) MPC 71 Boss 351 Mustang #6249 Revell 87 Grand National #85-2497(which will be done as a T-Type) Monogram Shelby GT-350R Mustang #2969 Monogram 69 GTO Judge #2443 AMT 67 Z-28 Camaro #6638 Monogram 1959 Impala hardtop #2454 Revell 64 chevy pickup #7613.. I will be busy for quite some time now that i found these again....Any one else ever have something similar happen to them?
Jefbo Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 Hey 82notch, Excellent! What a great feeling. However I disagree about the AAR 'cuda. You wrote: Any one else ever have something similar happen to them? Yeah... sort of, It was someone else’s garage... and box of models Jefbo
fury3 Posted January 1, 2008 Posted January 1, 2008 This last summer I was looking for some household materials in a cabinet in my basement. I found a built, but disassembled Jo-Han 1969 Plymouth Belvedere GTX Hardtop, which I had built in 1969. (This is an extreamly uncommon (I hate the term "rare", as it's used for every item on E-Bay) kit to find. I simply stripped it with "Zep Concete Cleaner", purchased some new parts from "Modelhaus", and ordered the correct paint for it from "MCW". This kit's body is so much cleaner/crisper, and correct (especially the rear wheel openings!) then the inaccurate "AMT/Ertl/RC2" 90's offering! I guess this find is one of the advantages of buying the house that I grew up in. Now, if I could just find a box of old Jo-Han kits, whew! Fury3
LVZ2881 Posted January 2, 2008 Posted January 2, 2008 I actually had the same happen with the original release revell AAR.. bought it when I was about 13, partially built it, painted it and screwed up the paint, sanded the old paint off, and ended up throwing it in a shoe box in my closet. 10 years later, as i was collecting some boxes of my childhood stuff from my parents after i got married, i found it, repainted and finished it.
82notch Posted January 2, 2008 Author Posted January 2, 2008 thats so cool guys. All these kits are in the boxes unbuilt. I'm gonna start one tonight maybe the gt350 R...
