I occassionally do a "clensing of the stash monster" and will get a table at a contest every other year or so. My goal...is to not bring those same kits home with me! I know what a kit is "worth" but I just want to sell it to get cash for another kit I'd rather have. It pains me to see guys selling their stash kits with the same prices as a shop or on-line store...what's the point?! It ruins the spirit of the event. You should be able to walk into a show/contest vend area and get deals! If you're wanting to make money go through the hassle of selling on eBay. <br /><br />As for restoring old kits, I've done it a couple of times with some of my Dad's old models. He had a few Collect Aire aircraft in his built collection that I inherited when he died. These kits are no longer available and expensive to begin with! I'm in the process of "restoring" a Grumman Guardian that he built in his later years...when his skills weren't...let's say, up to par...haaa, he'd laugh at that I'm sure, I hope.

Some of the older/cheaper kits can be a bugger to build but I've been fortunate to have some real gems. I almost left with a 1/32 Revell Tornado last time for $15 but decided I didn't have the room. I'm excited for tomorrow, maybe I'll catch you there!Jon Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13895409847601941329noreply@blogger.com
