Hello gentlemen! Yesterday I went to an RC airplane swap-meet. While it's an RC swap-meet, I ALWAYS have my eyes out for any plastic I came acrossed and older gentlemen selling a bunch of kits. I picked out everything I had interest in building for a STEAL! A whopping $30 for everything you see in these pictures (including the books)! He said $40 so Icame back with $30 and he said sure. I was in shock. I just wanted to share my excitment. P.S. This forum really needs auto correct again...
-Tamilya 1/48 Corsair
- Sealed trumpeter 1/32 Bearcat
- Sealed 1/32 Hasegawa F104
- Sealed Model USA 1/48 Bird-Dog (to go with my other 3 lol)
- Hasegawa 1/48 Hellcat
- Hasegawa 1/32 P-40
- Roden 1/48 Pilatus Porter (Air America decals for the win!)
Nice haul! That should keep you busy for a week or two.

Main WIP:
On the Bench: Artesania Latina (aka) Artists in the Latrine 1/75 Bluenose II
I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.
Fantastic haul, I hope you were wearing a mask and gloves so no one could recognize you or get prints for the future theft case....
Whoa... a very nice haul!!
The Trumpy Bearcat is over $40 by itself you you got a banging deal!
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
Thanks guy! It looks like the best deal came from the Bird Dog. I bought 9 item (including the books) for $30. That mean each item cost $3.33. When I bought my other Bird Dogs on eBay when I was a kid (10 years ago) I belive they were about $20. So I went on eBay to see what some have sold for and I found these. I know the prices when up but GEEZ! Its a real shame I want to build them lol

Looking at the box art, yours and eBay's are 2 different kit companies. Yours is Roden, the ones listed on eBay were Model USA brand.
Roden is the Pilatus Porter but ModelUSA is the BirdDog
SubarooMike Roden is the Pilatus Porter but ModelUSA is the BirdDog
Doh.... no wonder I couldn't find the Bird dog in Roden brand. LOL!!! I was looking at the wrong kit.
So are you still gonna build it anyway?
Haha, no problem! You did have me confused for a second It is funny you thought the Bird Dog was Roden, because Roden will be releasing a 1/32 Bird Dog in the summer (I belive) of this year. So I am extremely excited
Oh yes. I plan on buling it for sure. This one I will probably leave sealed for a while. But Two of my other ones are open. I will build those first
Blacksheep: You said you were looking for one. If you truly wanted one and cant find one, though I can't part with mine, my father has two. One open and one sealed maybe? If you were interested I could ask him if he wanted to sell one.
