What to do with all these models?! (A good problem to have!)

Posted by MoellerDan on Tuesday, May 26, 2015 3:47 PM

My grandfather passed away a year or so ago, and while going through his items before selling his old house, my mother found literally hundreds of these models. I have nearly 100 now, and more when I return to visit her. Most of them are Matchbox or Airfix. Looks like I'll never have to buy another model! Well, lets not get that crazy ;)

Wow, that takes me back. I built most of those Matchbox kits when I was a kid, for sure the Harrier, MiG, Sabre, P-12, Gladiator, Buffalo, and Fw 190. They're pretty simple, but most are buildable.

Cheers, Aaron

Holy crap! What a score! Some can be hard to find or even rare. It's always a nice surprise to find out your grandfather used to do model kits and still have a stash you never knew he had.
