Major ebay score!!!
Posted by oldhooker on Wednesday, December 23, 2009 1:49 PM


Came across a listing on ebay last week where the seller offered 15 various bagged kits, some started, for $24.45, shipping included, so I went for it.

 Got the package today and it's contents are:
One 1/200 Hasegawa 747-200,
One 1/200 Hasegawa 747-300,
One 1/200 Hasegawa 747-400,
One 1/200 Hasegawa 767-300,
One 1/200 Hasegawa 737-400 (all unstarted),
One 1/48 Testors B-58 (fuselage assembled by master standards),
One F-84F (cockpit assembled by master standards),
One Lindburg Curtis Jenny (unstarted),
One 1/48 Curtis Goshhawk (unstarted),
One USS Ohio sub (halves together),
One Soviet Sierra sub (halves together),
One basket case vacuform Stuka (great for spares - lots of extra sheet styrene),
One 1/48 P-38 (fuselage & cockpit assembled),
One 1/48 Me-262 (unstarted),                                                                                                                                       One 1/48 F-86 (unstarted), and
One basket case 1/48 Westland Wessex (great for spares).

There were sixteen kits in the box, so, Merry Christmas to me, baby... got my work cut out for me now, and, the new 787-8 Dreamliner is inbound as well!  Indifferent

Take care,

Good score, Frank.  I have  a complete Revell UH-34, it's a nice kit.  Never cheap.

Nice Frank!  That should keep you busy for a bit!  My latest ebay scores arent nearly as good Minicraft American Airlines 722 and a decal sheet for Cameroon 732.  Got my eye on a few things which hopefully stay in my price range.

Thanks fellas,

John: Yes, I can tell the Wessex was a fine build... it looks like someone stepped on this one; kinda squashed from top to bottom, but there was extra detail added to the interior which has escaped damage.     I have a wrapped 1/72 Revell UH-34 in the stash that will get the interior.

9X19mm & Rich: The fact the seller listed them as "Bagged" and "Some Started" made bidders hesitant, I reckon, and no one challenged my $25 bid.       Sure opened my eyes because I'd never thought about doing searches for bagged kits.

After I finish the two 747 mirror dios I'm working on now, these will be this years' projects.

Take care,

Frank
