Addar Model Company

[@iankingsley2864]

Being from the other side of The Pond I had never heard of Addar before today. Thanks for another kit manufacturer history Max. I've said it before and I will say it again you do this stuff so well 👏🖖

I never saw any of the Addar kits in New Zealand. But in the 1970s I had a pen-friend in America, and he sent me the Super Scenes Jaws kit, with the shark and the diver in a cage. The bottles were clear plastic, and came in two halves - front and back, with a real cork. There was also a printed cardboard backscene that went inside the bottle, and gave the scene a good sense of depth. Nearly 50 years later, and I have never seen another Addar kit in the flesh. Thank you for another great history video. Together, these make an important archive - the information really should be gathered together in book form.

Another model company I'd like to see detailed is "Dora Wings". I recently received three 1/72 aircraft models. They are very detailed with PE Brass parts.

Seeing the ship in a bottle kits jarred my memory. I had a Pyro kit of Drake's Golden Hind. I have to admit, I've never even heard of Addar, but that shouldn't be a huge surprise since I grew up shopping in the original #1 Wal Mart store which had the biggest selection in the area.

Nice history video Max. Thanks for sharing! 😎🇨🇦

[@garfieldsmith332]

Thanks for the update Max. I remember seeing the "Apes" kits.

One of your best model history posts!

[@douglasw.7864]

I’ve owned (and still do) the Addar aircraft two in one kits. The Stratotanker is cool as it’s actually a Dash 80 in 1/300 scale!😊

Thank you.

I hate every ape I see / from chimpan A to chimpan Z / no, you'll never make a monkey out of me ...🎶

Great video as always. As a bona fide Ape-o-holic and knew you would be bringing up the Apes line when you mentioned working on an Addar history video, but did not realize how their apes kits were such a significant part of their business. I not only know Hunter and his 'definitive' Planet of the Apes site, but have contributed a few photos/items over the years (non-model stuff). Hunter will be pleased to know (if you have not contacted him already) that you mentioned his site as he is all about bringing information to the fans. I do have 4 of the Planet of the Apes kits in my stash but still want to improve my modelling skills before I get to those as I want to make them as perfect as possible.

Thanks, Dario, and thanks @maxsmodels! Informative video, and I appreciate your sharing the link to my site.

Never even heard of 'em. Of course, I was on active duty '73 - '77, and overseas '75/'76.

My older brother built the Dr. Zaius kit. He used gloss orange for the hair. 😁

[@martinpennock9430]

Great post Max! Thanks for the information. Yup, I remember Evel Knievel! Never built an Addar kit though. Hope you had a great Father's Day! Great T-shirts, I'm jealous 😂🤣😂. As always God bless you and your family. Thanks for everything you do! Model On Sir!!

[@kenhanson1819]

Great video, Max! I didn't know addar released old Aurora kits. I've only ever seen the Planet of the Apes kits.

[@paulbervid1610]

Great video had the f84 and f100 kit.

[@model-man7802]

I wish I had alot of unused molds from Any company😢

[@Wild-Dad]

I remember the box art from those kits, especially the “Planet of the Apes” but the subjects never did anything for me to create an interest to build them.

[@nanorider426]

Thank you for the video. ^^
