Has it disintegrated to form dust?

Was all complete last time i checked... all seems to be there bar the dope for the tissue paper
The balsa will be well seasoned by now!!

I've got a Glider kit still in its box, was given it when I was about 10, never built, been sitting for over 50 years something else I should get rid of.

Well here it is in all it's glory.
Don't look too close though!
I'm blaming the drugs and pain and on top of that the kit itself is a bit pony

Not much lined up with the two halves of the body and there wasn't even a hole for the door mirror to fit into so I left it off (I never looked back when I raced bikes )

Oh and if I put it on a flat surface three of the wheels touch the ground

^^^^ you should have bought Tamiya.

^ seems quite realistic for a Ford

I've got a box full sitting next to the PC and more in a drawer not even opened, just doesn't appeal at the mo

If you've got any vintage model kits in boxes, check out ebay. Some of them are worth a few quid. I have a Halcyon Alien model kit from the '80's that is probably worth a bit, just haven't got round to selling it.

I had an Aurora Frankenstein model as a child. Got chucked as these things do, but bought myself a made kit on ebay a few years ago just out of nostalgia. It was only about a fiver. The unmade boxed kits go for crazy money.

I worked in a model shop years ago, I cry when I see how much some of the RC cars I trashed back then are worth!
