The Buck Rodgers Draconian Maruader fighter (big pinkish orange ship) was already claimed by my 7 yr old and already needs additional repair. Anyone remember that 1980s TV show with Gil Gerad and Erin Grey?
All the Japanese mecha kits were the Revell Robotech Defenders and Robotech Changers reboxed and released in the mid 80s. The sideways looking Chinook helicopter was from that series as well and carried a 1/72 scale robot by the shoulders.
Yes, that TIE fighter is an Estes rocket that used to be the only straight TIE fighter available in kit form. That rocket has had some air time, but not in around 30 years give or take.
There's the bottom half to an MPC snow speeder that I started when the kit was released sometime after The Empire Strikes Back (argueably the best Star Wars movie) hit theaters in the late 80s. Never did finish it. If I could scrape up the missing pieces, I would try and finish it.
Maximillan (tall red robot) is from the Disney movie "The Black Hole". I had all three of the model kits from the movie which consisted of the Cygnus (only a few bits left of it and the instructions), Maxillian (complete kit, even with base and optional position claws), and V.I.N.Cent the R2-D2 wannabe. I didn't find Vincent in this box, but he may be in another. I'll keep looking. Max looks like a little glue, seam sanding and a paint job (he's unpainted) and he'll be good to go.
There's an old Lindberg UFO flying saucer that was molded in glow in the dark plastic. It's been reissued a few times by Glencoe and others. I hand painted it Pactra (remember them) gun metal (I think the color was).
I will try to restore/rebuild the ones that look like they can be saved. I'm anxious to see if I have all the bits and pieces to the big Dougram walker/Robotech Commando. What a beast that thing is!
