Yeah I built these in the early 90s and they sat on shelf in the barn until today, my kid wanted to clean them up

Didn't realize they were models. Thought they were diecast.
Surprisingly they're staying together for you..
Looks like you did a nice job on them... Minus the dust....

Surprisingly I've seen assembled models at locals auctions and they do bring a fair price...in the $10-$30 range ,ones I've seen..
Those you have if unassembled would probably be $50- $100 +.

Nice "barn finds" jabelman! Building models was one of my younger pass times too.

I have a barn find too, it's not a model though. Any guesses?

I was almost thinking a liquor bottle at first glance but not seeing a cap..

I bet the cap is under the roof.

Well, nobody guessed right, and I better end this hijack of Jabelman's post. That thing is a VHS tape re-winder. We used it a lot back in the '80's and 90's then it went up in the attic in my shop for 20 some years. Guess I should call it an attic find!




I now return you to the original subject.

Sorry about the hijack jabelman! I hope you will post pics of your models after your son cleans them up!

The box and the power supply are long gone with my dirty old rewinder. Yours looks like it is brand-new! Nice score!

Has your son cleaned up these beauties yet, @jabelman ? Looking forward to seeing them!
