@Blacksheep214 Tom - P-61 factory sealed 19.99 AND you can get 10 % off. I've bought from Mercari a few times, very reputable and great dispute handling

The most recent boxings of those old kits
Yup… but the 70s era box art was waaaay better…

My son gave me that exact kit for Christmas 4 years ago. I was excited to receive it until I decided to jump into it a month later. What a piece of crap that one was. Fit is pure crap, lots of flash, I can go on. The moldings definitely showing its age.

Revell should have updated the molds for this one.

I'd like to find a normally priced Phantom 1/32 Huey. Did one as a young teen and then shot it up with my trusty BB gun at some later point. I have managed to get many if not most of the kits I would like to build if time were unlimited...but, alas it isn't.
Is this the kit, Lyle?

I vaguely remember seeing that one back in the early 70s. Cool subject too!

Yep, that’s the one.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

With my recent purchases, I think I have all the aircraft that I've wanted to build in the stash. There are quite a few Gundam and armor kits that I'd like to do. Also some ships, mainly modern ones.
