Title: Rosemont Drachen on evil-bay
Post by: WarrenD on November 14, 2012, 12:25:26 PM

Wow, I really regretted not getting one of these, among a few other things, before Barry closed up shop. I thought I might bid on this tonight, but . . . Holy Dirigible Batman!  Ain't now way I would pay $100 for a 1/72nd scale vac!

Am I missing something here, or was $100 paid for a 1/72 vac-formed balloon?

I wish it weren't so, but I bet you the folks that bought Rosemont Hobbies probably threw Barry's resin and vac molds in the dumpster out back.  >:( >:( >:( >:(  That's too bad because he had some really great stuff such as his resin Fokker F.I correction set, the two observation balloon vacs, the towed lighter, etc.   :'( :'(
