RalphSarc Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Found this incredible "1987" Revell 1/32 P38J Lockheed Lightning kit on eBay for for $34.50. Box was open but all parts still sealed in their original plastic sleeves with instructions and decals. Decals look a bit dry but will order new when I start to gather aftermarket parts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RalphSarc Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Yeah I was really pleased get this as most new kits are in the $100.00/$125.00 price range. As I said it's in perfect condition and I was able to find new decals, seat-belts and Edward instruments on eBay for around $40.00! I have 6 models in my stash so I'm good!!! Well unless eBay offers up some more excellent deals, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomv1987 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 That's how "Model-Hoarding" begins! You won't notice until it's too late! I noticed that model prices on Ebay jumped quite a bit in the past two years. I believe that Revell Lightning kit is the same mold from the 70s. I built one when I was a kid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I noticed that also but there are still some good deals if you haunt the site, lol!! No "Model Hoarding" for this boy! I met a guy at the Hobby Show that had 1400 kits in his stach but he had a glassed over look in his eye so I ran away, lol!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
