I skipped past the newer kits and focused on the rare stuff from the swap meet area at the Detroit model show today.

I really appreciate all of the support of the channel from you all. The channel is growing quickly and is getting out there to more people.
Thanks everyone, this is your channel so tell me what you liked and didn’t like about this video.
They were playing copyright music in the background so I had to mute it and put in a music track. Sorry…
Thanks again,
James

I was never really into cars much as a kid. I mainly assembled ships and airplane models. They were more challenging than assembling a car model.

Hi Freddy, I agree that ships and planes are more difficult to build. But… I build what I see or dream of driving. That’s why I build cars. Thanks for watching👍

@@ScaleModelExperiment I agree....I did build cars when I was a kid, as you said the ones you dreamed of owning! I enjoyed the video. Putting models together is a hobby you can carry on throughout your life. I passed it on to my sons, and grandchildren. Models are far more expensive today than they were when I was a kid....you could buy a really good model back then for $3 bucks!!!

It’s so weird how prices have blown up. Back in 1965 a friend and I used to always go out and get my models.All for most for $1.49 to the most expensive which was two dollars and we thought that was a lot. I’d like to bring back the old days. They were AMT’s , JoHahn, Revell and more ! Regular 1/25 scale

what is the reason for some of those kits to be $300+ ???

Hi Bradley, supply and demand pure and simple. Some of those kits haven’t been reissued since the 60’s and therefore people just HAVE TO HAVE THEM. I wouldn’t pay that personally 😁

1:48 surprised to see a 71 Cyclone kit out in the wild, it took me quite a while to get my hands on one myself, also cost me an arm and a leg in the form of $200 dollars. Really hope Round2 updates and re-releases that kit.

Lovely video mate, thank you. It was almost like being there! I can't get over the size of the show - have never seen anything like it here in Australia. There were more than a couple of kits that would have come home with me had I been there in person!
