A great eBay find !!!
Posted by daiguma on Friday, March 18, 2011 1:41 PM

I normally don't get too excited and post 'bout much. But, WOW I just recieved an amazing buy off eBay.
So I just have to tell somebody (the wife just doesn't get it).
I won a 1/32 Tamiya F-14 second release for $67.25 plus $15 S&H. That's an OK price and I've wanted one for awhile. It came with sets of PE cockpit details, dial faces, placards and other such sundry for probably, atleast, 3 aircraft, great. It also came with mini drill set and 2 sets of metal pins & sockets to articulate a swing joint like the flaps or canopy hinges. This all very cool very cool. More over it came with plans to articulate retaction of the landing gear and lighting schematics to light up the cockpit and landing lights.

 BUT here is the kicker. It also came with both Waldron's punch and die sets. Yes the the standard and sub in mint unused condition. The last time I could find the original sets they were going for around $90 to $100plus per set. Again WOW.
It could only have been better if it had the Hex set also.

Sounds like you hit the jackpot! Those punches are worth a pretty penny just by themselves!Beer
