Some of my really old models

[matrixone]

These are some pics of models that will be scrapped soon to free up some shelf space.

This first model is the 1/32 scale Revell Me 262B I built in the mid 1980s, check out the yellowed decals!



This is the old 1/48 scale Monogram Fw 190 built in the early 1980s.


This is the 1/72 scale Revell Bf 110G, I bought this kit in the late 1970s and built it about 8 years ago. I used AeroMaster decals and paint on this model.

...models that will be scrapped soon...

After taking a democratic vote among the people seated at my computer, it has been decided by an overwhelming majority of 1 - 0 that we cannot allow that to happen. Rather, we suggest that new whiffers be constructed from the old ones.

Carry on.

Make that 2-0.  I second the motion.

lol, even his models of crappy old kits that are covered in dust look 100 times better than anything I could produce!

You can't just scrap 'em Matrixone! You gotta whiff 'em into something...please.

Thanks for more great pics! I love seeing old models with yellowed decals.

Thank you Rat, Greg, nev, Chris, Brian, and Robert!

I will be taking a few parts off of them to save for future products but otherwise they will be trashed. I need the room!
Even though I clear coated the decals on the models the decals still turned brown with age, I wonder if that will happen with my new models in 15 or 20 years?

Don't scrap anything!!!
These look great!

[matrixone]

Thanks very much devil505!

The Bf 110G will live for a while longer so I can use it as a prop in the background in some of my pictures but the Me 262 and Fw 190 with their yellowed decals are an eyesore and must go, its so difficult to throw models away I hate doing it but I have some quality models on the worktable right now that will need the shelf space when they are done.

Are you under some kind of treaty? You can only have this much of a plastic Air Force?
Put them in AMARC! B)

Okay, I didn't want to do this,  but I will pay for shipping if you want them to go to a good home where they can be disassemblied and reborn as something new down deep in the heart of Texas! If you want to try an experiment with those yellowed decals, try putting them in sunlight for a period of time. I hear long exposure to sunlight helps bleach them. Or it just might melt them, which ever comes first.
