Christmas List - ONLY ONE ITEM !!

[ij001]

Just for fun, if you could have just one ONE ONLY kit/model related item for Christmas this year, what would it be ????
***


I have a few on my list, but this is way out at the top and has been for years:

Rare as a bucket of poo from a rocking horse and I can't get my paws on one !! - Over to you lot.

Ian.

I'm pretty sure I had that kit as a teen!

This would be mine

This was the first model I ever built. I got it as an Easter present when I was 5. I finally identified it a year or so ago when I was reading a book on Aurora.

I've been looking every once and a while, but no joy.

Not hard to find, just WAY OVERPICED! $48USD:

Good question.

I need to pull the trigger on mine.

I think I've gotten to the point with resin I can handle this one.

I have managed to obtain most of the ones I have ever wanted.
One that my dad built when I was real small.
A car kit he built when I was 8 or 9. Have that kit all packed away.
A Monogram Deusenberg kit he also built back before I got started building models.
A slew of 1/72 X series lifting bodies (HL10, M2F2/3, X-24 A and B and the early NM-9 flying wing) Also the Rare Planes Bell XFM-1 Airacuda.

The one kit (a garage kit) I have been wanting since the November Fine Scale Modeler has been this:

While I have a line on one, it is making me pause and ponder quite a bit. This is a real rare casting and has been OOP for a while. It is also considered the best figure ever done of the character.

Thanks Saul - then I need to add postage to 'Middle Earth' on top of it (assuming the seller will post it here in the first place), so....

At this point I have most everything I want in the stash...but the discontinued Deluxe edition of the Polar Lights Batmobile would be top of my list...

The Milenium falcon like Paul is building

OR! Orange Hobby's Desert Storm 1/700 USS Midway CV-41.

 

[Old Dog]

Amazingly I have none, at least in kits that have already been released. For years it was a resin Bv 138 in 1/48 but at this point in life the last thing I want is a large and involved resin kit.

Top of my list is the 1/72 scale C-17.
Which I had hoped would be out by Christmas, no such luck.

I didn't know they were coming out with a 1/72 scale C-17. I want one too.

But the top of my list is one I've always wanted:

Aurora's ancient kit of the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car. That is one I'll never be able to get.

You know Anigrand has one.

I have it on my list, just didn't pull the trigger.
I am not confident enough to spend that much money and screw it up.
I do have some Anigrand kits - C-140, YC-14, F-108, Martin P4M Mercator.
Now, Kinetic is to have an injected kit coming out.
I have seen computer pictures of the design and parts break down.
It will be a late Christmas present form Cinda.

I don't think I've ever seen an Anigrand kit built up. Cindy gave me a coin sorter or Christmas and will all the buckets of change around here, I think i can pull the trigger on the XF11.

I have a good friend that was an instructor of safety and fire control systems for the P-6M in the late 40's and early 50's at Martin In Baltimore. On of the kits that I would like to build would be the 1/72 XB-51 from Anigrand. That would really make his day.

That was a funky looking bomber.

It was either that or the B-52. Again politics won out but this time it wasn't a such bad deal.
