Nice stash adds William, model shows definitely have the best deals and a way better selection than any hobby store. Thanks for sharing!

I didn’t even know they had these types of model shows..My 50’s Revell “S” Army combat kits might go over well there along with my 50’s collection of Aurora BiPlanes…all with original box’s instructions and decals..some are still have factory taped closed.. thanks for sharing

[@ruckusrodkustom8140]

Ya, there is a lot of interest in that here in CA. Some other states have similar shows. Unfortunately not all

[@rickzinck9326]

Wow...how much time I spent with my dad in hobby stores, department stores, country stores, etc., in the 60's! He was INTO models. Planes, mostly, but all things military; limited automotive. A member of IPMS. He traded models with guys in Poland and Czechkoslovakia. He would receive the packages and they had OBVIOUSLY been scrutinized along the way! The patience and attention to detail he had didn't carry over to me. Had literature, books, boxes of decals, more Flo-Quil paint than anyone. He had it all....in spades. Mr. Meticulous. Had been in 2 branches of the military. Marine Pvt, 1st Lt. Army. Witnessed Nevada Atomic Tests. Got a degree in Mathematics. Was an instructor in Artillery and Chemical warfare. And worked for Douglas Aircraft in the MATH department for 5 years. When he passed, he had nearly 4000 brand new models still in boxes (I counted every last one) and 1000+ he had built himself. And THEN, there were his other hobbies....guns, especially. 100+ top notch guns when passed. Somehow he found the time to become a competent gunsmith...attended classes. And a Air Base Museum volunteer! Buried at a National Cemetery with his site overlooking the Air Base....of course! Miss ya pops.

@@soundslikebstome They just don’t make men like that anymore! Such an amazing generation of Americans! Thank you for sharing! Very much appreciated! It still is a fun hobby and I’ve been building since 1971. Thanks for watching my video!

Man. I haven't been to Kit Collectors in over 20 years. I didn't know it was still going on. And I know David Cruz and his wife. I've bought a few things from him over the years. I might have bought some more out of that batch there. 😎 Charlie and I talked to them at the NHRA Museum.

[@ruckusrodkustom8140]

They have moved over the years but still going strong. That NHRA show was very good! I’ll be there next year! Thx for watching!

[@danielcarlson800]

I've been dreaming of visiting the Keller Kit Show. I' haven't had the chance as of yet. It's on my bucket list though.

[@ruckusrodkustom8140]

Ya, you would love it! Just make sure to bring money!

[@RPMGames]

some nice scopres and i am sure terry would love to see the 50 ford shoebox get built in his honor

[@ruckusrodkustom8140]

Thx Ryan! I’m trying to think of something cool to do with that shoebox Ford

[@crisslastname9417]

I picked up an old AMT Thomas Flyer kit and I finally found a Harley FXSTS kit that I could afford. 👍

[@ruckusrodkustom8140]

Great! There was a lot of cool stuff this time! Thx for watching and glad to meet you!

[@crisslastname9417]

hey william, at 9:10 is a boot hill express kit, the booth was in the corner, i have a friend seriously looking for one at a fair price, if you can contact me with its availability that would be great,

[@ruckusrodkustom8140]

I have bought from him before and he is reasonable. I don’t know how to reach him tho. I’ll look for it at the next show!

[@RPMGames]

@@ruckusrodkustom8140 i looked up the name of the banner and found them on FB and sent the link to my friend to see if they have it and can get it from them, thanks for recording these show videos, its obviously paid off for this very moment

[@rahland9342]
