    Probably not the score of a lifetime, but I went to an estate sale today and bought all of these unopened model kits. They all look to be vintage and not repops. This guy must have been the King of the procrastinators. There were a few more, but these were the cherry picked ones.

    I’m not up on my models, but I think I did ok.

  3. Definite score! Here are some vintage aircraft models that my uncle built when he was in junior high school circa 1933. Balsa and hard wood and piano wire with tin propellers. He went to work for Boeing in 1949 as a designer. Found in my grandfathers attic in 1965.
