A Good Deal

Modeling Subjects Aircraft

Went to pick up my kids today for the weekend…found an LHS near where they live (about an hour from me). Went in and browsed. Entire rows of aircraft, sorted by manuafacturer, armor, ships, just insane amounts of plastic. Old kits, too, Revell’s 1/72 4 Phantom Thunderbirds (with plastic display stand), ERTL kits, some Accurate Miniatures (B-25, Il-2, etc).

Front table was the “bargain table”… Here’s what I picked up…

Both are “started”. The Me-262 has the engine nacelles put together (4 parts total) with everything else still on the trees.

The FW-190 has the upper wings cemented to the lower wings… that’s all…

I thought it was a pretty reasonable deal, so I picked them up. Both 1/48 scale Tamiya kits, one for $6 and one for $5…gotta support the Mom 'n Pop stores, right [:D]

Wow I don’t know about the 190 but that Me262 kit is like a $40.00 kit… great find. I’d have snatched it up right away too.

That is a good deal Matt !! It’s amazing what you can find sometimes just by poking your head in somewhere every now and then.
