Revell Old
Do most model airplane kit collectors buy the kits to assemble them or just to keep the kits as collectibles?
I am referring to the old kits from the 1960s, 70s and 80s (Airfix, Frog, Monogram, Revell, MPC, etc.).
I bought them to BUILD them... I had build a good 50 Monogram kits by the time I was 14, and then moved over to Tamiya (in 1978) and build over 60 tanks and vehicles and hundreds of figures.
I DID reach a point in the early 1990's when I was serving in the Navy and bought kits (multiple copies) and they mostly sat in storage until I left active duty. I was buying as many US Naval Aircraft as possible... I eventually build EVERY major model flown by the US Navy in 1/72 scale.
I WILL admit that I currently have about 40 models in storage that I intend to build (I got distracted by a model railroad)... but DID sell off all my "spare" kits in 2000.
