That looks great Jan!

Which was better? Revell or Monogram? I think they were about the same scale. I had one of each and still have an unbuilt Revell reissue as well as a 1/48 Monogram I have never built. Lindberg had three, one in 1/128, one in 1/85 and one in 1/64; I never built any of those.
Cool stuff.

But they did have a tunnel with a clothesline with which they could pass notes and Playboy magazines back and forth.

Information, not Playboy, that's technical information! Get it right man! Shhhes

Well, Ollies put out an ad saying they got a new stock of models in. Last time, before Christmas, they got in a big stock but the only thing close to being airplanes were the Batplane and yet another release of the Lindberg 1/48 Snark, under the AMT label and for $25 rather than the $15 it was before. Last time I looked they had a 18 wheeler trailer and the old Aurora Green Hornet car.

Atlantis Models has a 20% off sale this weekend.

Okay, I stopped by Ollies to check up on the latest model kit situation and here is what they now have for $12.99. Nice to see Atlantis getting some more exposure, and at a price a lot less than the company's 20% off weekend deal.

I remember those from my younger days. MUCH younger!

Comparing Atlantis to say Airfix or Tamiya or Eduard? Quality of molded parts? Fits and such!
Donivanp

Atlantis repops old models, Aroua, Monogram, Revell etc… they are the kits you built in your youth.

In my youth?? We only had rocks and sticks.

Oh! And if we could afford it, some string to fly a June Bug on!

Yes Ralph I understand but my wife says I have to be nice. So don't push the button and make me describe the cave you were raised in.

You may think I'm kidding but growing up I lived in a house build in the late 1700s, but added on to in the early 1900s no indoor anything except an iron pump that was fed by a spring running through the cellar. Trust me, you were in BIG trouble if you used it and did not leave some in a cup for priming! Cave, no, but close. Best years of my life when I reflect.

I lived in houses built much much newer that that, 1850's give or take. But you know I'm just a young pup.

You were lucky to have strings and stones to play with when you were growing up, I wish I was that well off....
Hang on here, why does this sound familiar....?
