Hello all! It's been forever and a day since I've been on this amazing site, and I hope everything and everyone is well. Over the years, I've been helped on and off the site by many, many people, and I've been trying to figure out a way to give back. While cleaning the house for Christmas, I discovered a number of kits I had doubles of, as well as ones that I had completely forgotten about. So, in order to make room and give back, I've decided to give them away, free shipping and all. Now, before I list the kits, I have a few rules:

1. One kit per member, per household.
2. First come, first serve.
3. If at possible, post pictures of the WIPs and finished projects! That's probably my favorite part of this site; seeing the skill and talent put into kits always inspires me!

Here are the kits:

1:72 REVELL Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat #04140

1:35 TAMIYA Sd. Kfz. Leichter Panzerspahwagen (4x4)

1:72 TAMIYA North American F-51D Mustang Korean War (Missing ordinance)

1:144 MINICRAFT C-54 Skymaster "The Candy Bomber"

1:72 MINICRAFT PB4Y-1 USN Anti-Sub Patrol Sea Search

Sorry I couldn't add any pictures, as my camera is on the fritz. All of them are open, but have all of the parts, decals, and instructions. If you're interested, simply PM me your address and I'll send you the kit! Like I said, first come first serve (Down to the hour and minute, if necessary.) Thanks for your time!

Thanks! I'll take the
1:35 TAMIYA Sd. Kfz. Leichter Panzerspahwagen (4x4)
If it is still avail.

Hi Matthew,
was going to suggest shipping these to appropriate moderators to disperse to junior builders for rewards/crimes of plastic that they present to the forums.
I admire your generosity and may follow suit one day. Just a thought for your kind consideration.
Cheers!

I agree with Rick, that would be a great idea
Otherwise keep us updated on what's left

Hi Matthew,

Concur! I admire your generosity and will follow suit one day.

Excellent idea! Who would be the best moderator to send them to?

Oh, and if anyone is still interested, the Revell Hellcat and MInicraft PB4Y-1 and C-54 are still available.

A great idea....or....there must be schools in your area that have model building clubs within or local model building clubs that have shows or contests and these could be donated to be awarded for prizes to the junior entries.

cheers
Bob

Sadly, that was the first thing I tried. Not much in the way model building clubs in my area, so I decided to give back here.
