I was given a boxfull of 'old rockets' yesterday by a guy at my church ( way cool :), never happened to me before, might have to get the word out more, lol .... )
Anyways, not a real vintage lot, couple porta-pads, early blue electron beam control , early 90's stuff like the Manta E2X, unbuilt ARV COndor, an Alpha ( should I send it on up, Phred ? brush painted and all, liek you collect :D , a 2 stage Magnum , unfortunately missing the clear payload. couple paks of B6-4, etc.
ANyways, best item(s) are a pair of # 1385 Space Shuttle kits - both partially built.
it appears maybe # 1 was part built and the nosecone came up MIA, it's 90% done ( with some damage from storage),but missing the nosecone ( has the 'shrouds' that were part of the nosecone molding ).
Second kit appears complete with only the fins / wings glued up..
I'd like to find a cone so I can build up the half built one and save the other for future 'needs' ... so .,....
ANyone have one of these laying around from a mishap or ??
if I can't find one, might have to try pulling a mold, but my efforts have been so-so ( with much help from Mike @ Moldin Oldies, hopefully he'll return soon :).
