Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 No photo - I'm afraid its in the loft ( but they can be provided) - but I have a jerry rutman 1/32 brewster B239 ( Finnish buffalo), unmade, virgin and still in its foam packaging. The run on this kit was apparently less than a dozen, and the molds were then sold, and then lost in a fire. Vlam ma boy, if you fancy a trade or buy for the Calquin - drop me a line! Cheers Jon KT PS - that Aussie Whiffer looks lke an F8U crossed with a Lightning - cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I think mine's gotta be the Dynavector TSR.2, and then maybe a 1:48 B-24J & my new ADV Tornado Not bad really, seeing as my stash is only 2 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlamgat9 Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Vlam ma boy, if you fancy a trade or buy for the Calquin - drop me a line!

AnonymousAA72 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I guess it has to be my Echelon 1/32nd Lightning F6/F2A or my Echelon 1/32nd Hunter T7/8......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I don't know how rare the are, but I've got: 1/48 Dynavector:- Javelin, Sea Vixen, Scimitar and TSR.2, 1/48 FM Fouga Magistair, and a couple of 1/72 Airfix Canberra's. As for esoteric, I'd have to say my 1/48 ARBA Miles M.52 I'm sure I've got others, but I can't think at the moment.. Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Womby Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 No pics as stash is stored in warehouse in New Hampshire (along with all household belongings). Rarest military aircraft would be the Frog Vickers Valiant 1/96. David W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frog Whitley Heller 1/50 Etendard IV, circa 1964 - cool working features on this one! Classic Airframes Fokker D.XXI Heller Thonier Amor boat - very cool looking fishing vessel.

AnonymousER99 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Only a couple in my stash that are truly rare other than a lot of my 1/48 Hasegawa Eagles and of course the Viggens. The two that I consider "rare" are PD Models 1/48 AMX And my Belcher Bits 1/48 Navy Lynx Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) Mine probably aren't all that rare or esoteric, but I've got the Aeroclub 1/48 Strikemaster with 14sqn RNZAF decals, and a 1/48 High Planes Hawk Mk127. The 1/48 RNZAF A4K boxing of Hasegawa's Skyhawk is fairly rare and sought after these days, but still only a few years old, so not quite in the same league as some of the examples posted by others. Quite possibly the rarest kit I've got is the 120mm Firing Line British soldier in tropical dress that came with the little parade base with bollards.

speedy Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Not sure if there rare or not, but they are to me: 2 x 1/72 Matchbox T7 Hunters 1 x 1/72 Frog B(1) Canberra 1 x 1/72 Welsh models Andover 1 x 1/72 Airfix Beagle Basset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Hmm, tricky. Possibly one of the rarest (in this country at least) is the Tamiya 1/20 McLaren F1 car from 1998, Japanese GP edition, which was only made for the Japanese market, and included different front and rear wings from the normal version, and full cigarette ads (naughty). Or it might be the resin 1972 JPS Lotus in the same scale, from a Brazilian company whose name escapes me. The most esoteric could be the Airfix Robins, or a vinyl Lady Penelope. If conversions are allowed, I've got a resin/metal set to convert the AMT USS Enterprise (Next Generation) into the 3-engined version seen in an alternate future in the final episode - still haven't bought the kit to use it on, mind. Sorry for the lack of photos, but they're all in the loft, along with hundreds of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlamgat9 Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 Thankyou - if its still being made - then I have to have one!Jon KT Jon The man to contact is Jose-Miguel Fernandez at Mirage and his email addy is: [email protected] It doesn't work out cheap with postage from Argentina (although in the UK the US$/£ exchange rate helps!) but it is a fab little kit There is a build of it in the gallery on ARC Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desmojen Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Rare(ish) kits I have are, Airfix Canberra Airfix Bluetits Silver Cloud Spiteful Bunch of early Revell UK kits Esoteric, probably the same, the Spiteful and the Blue Tits. I also have a prototype ME163 kit whihc is a bit of an oddball, nothing like some of the stuff on here though. Cool thread! Jen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancient mariner Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) My oldest has to be the Gowlands issue (pre Revell) of the vintage car. The box was the same for every model with only a stamped name on the end of the box. 1954 . The 1:75 scale Hasegawa "Pete" is most probably the "oddball" Edited November 21, 2007 by ancient mariner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
