My Gawd!
Back when my stash was that “small” I set up a database in Microsoft Access. I recommend you do that, otherwise your modelling soul will be lost forever, in that particular hades where everything you buy is something you already have.
As Peter Griffin says, “Holy crap!”
If you’re not planning on building all of them (who among us will ever complete his stash?), you might consider donating some kits to some of modeling clubs started by soldiers overseas. There’s a group in Afghanistan, and I think a couple of clubs in Iraq.
Or your local modeling club might accept donations, and have a kids’ day.
Whatever you do, it is sweet, isn’t it? We seldom come across a find like that, but when it does happen, it’s a great story.

man you got give us a complete list of it all
[:O] OMG that’s lotta kits!
Well, I’ve got some space under my workbench, and I could probably put a couple of those boxes under my stairs… [:-^]
Wow, some guys have all the luck. On your original post about the Nichimo kits, most of them are still really buildable, especially the original mold Nichimos. I’ve still got an Oscar, Kate, and a Nick in my stash waiting to be built. With a little after market stuff (if you’re so inclined) these kits build up good and even with nothing but good, clean assembly and painting they can still hold their own. As for the rest of the stash, you’re probably gonna have to come up with some kind of inventory system with that many kits. Doesn’t need to be too complex, just kit name/kit manufacturer/scale/remarks, etc. I started a thread here a few months ago asking “Model kit inventory-or how do you keep track of your stash?” Got quite a few responses including a llink to the Huntsville Model Club. The wife of one of the members came up with a program you can download. You will need MS Access to make it work. If you have that, no problem. If not, you can get some ideas for your own. As for keeping your stash, If you’re a single old f–t like me you’re home free. If you have an understanding spouse, its all good. Otherwise I recommend a heated climate controlled rental storage unit, preferably in a secret location (bat cave) on the far side of town—enjoy your stash-buildem in good health. Rick Martin
Sheiss I see a pair of 1/48 scale Revell ME-262’s a whole Sheiss load of MPC Profile series aircraft including the P-61 in the background. Looks like alot of 1/72 scale Revell aircraft as well.
You got to spread the love man.[:D]
